Chainlink Automation Is Now Live on Base

January 23, 2024 -- Today, the industry standard Chainlink Automation has gone live on Base—a fast and highly scalable layer-2 blockchain incubated by Coinbase and secured by Ethereum. This integration provides Base developers with verifiable, decentralized, and gas-efficient smart contract automation capabilities.

Chainlink Automation is the most secure, reliable, and cost-effective automation service for Web3 developers. Base developers can now offload compute-heavy tasks to the Chainlink Network, maintaining the verifiability standards of blockchains, but with up to a ~90% reduction in gas costs.

“We’re pleased to bring Chainlink Automation’s high-performance compute to the Base network,” stated Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs.

“Combining Chainlink’s offchain computation capabilities with Base’s highly scalable layer-2 network enables developers to create next-generation Web3 experiences that support the adoption of the verifiable web.”

Developers can also increase the amount of computation that they include in their smart contracts, opening up more advanced use cases. Automation offers a broad set of triggers, unlocking new ways to connect multiple dApps. For example, Automation enables smart contracts to react to log events emitted onchain, acting as a powerful messaging bus that’s similar to the pub/sub messaging bus used to connect microservices in Web2.

“We’re excited to see the next-gen apps that developers can build on Base using the advanced offchain compute capabilities enabled by Chainlink Automation,” said Jesse Pollak, Creator of Base. “Being able to offload compute-heavy tasks to the Chainlink Network expands the use cases that Base developers can realize.”

With a suite of Chainlink services now available on Base, including CCIP, Data Feeds, and Automation, builders have highly advanced tools to develop a new wave of hyper-scalable applications.

If you’d like to get started building right away, explore the official Chainlink Automation documentation.

  • JuCoin CEO: UX design in the encryption industry needs to pay attention to user emotional details to enhance user experience

    Cointime News: JuCoin CEO Sammi Li delivered a keynote speech at the TOKEN2049 conference, analyzing the current challenges in user experience (UX) design in the cryptocurrency industry. Sammi Li believes that the existing encryption product experience fails to effectively empathize with users, often leading to usage anxiety, which hinders the large-scale adoption of Web3. Combining her rich experience in the luxury goods industry, she emphasizes that building trust relies on paying attention to user emotions and critical moments of interaction, and constructing it through details rather than simply technical presentations. JuCoin is applying these user centered design principles to its Web3 ecosystem construction, aiming to lower user barriers and enhance user experience by optimizing JuChain and related product designs. It calls on the encryption industry to think together and place user experience at a more core position.

  • 1confirmation founder: There is a negative correlation between the popularity of the seed round and the success of the project product

    On April 29th, Nick Tomaino, the founder of 1confirmation, wrote on X that there is a negative correlation between the popularity of seed round projects and their success. Participating in a hot round is indeed exciting: high funding amounts, intense competition, big-name investors, and extensive media coverage. However, rarely does participating in such hot projects before the product-market fit is clear bring truly outstanding results. At 1confirmation, some of the most "popular" projects we have invested in have actually performed the worst.
