Base App vs Orderly

Base App is an onchain wallet and trading app developed by Base, the Ethereum Layer 2 ecosystem built by Coinbase. Formerly known as Coinbase Wallet, it combines crypto asset management, token trading, payments, social features and decentralized app discovery in a single interface. Users can buy, sell and swap millions of assets, send and receive USDC, explore mini apps and DeFi protocols, earn rewards on eligible assets, and interact with friends or AI agents through encrypted chats. Base App also features an onchain social feed where users can discover trending assets, creators and communities and trade directly from content. It is available on web and mobile and is designed as an integrated gateway to the broader Base ecosystem.

The Orderly Bridge tracks the assets deposited into Orderly, the omnichain order book infrastructure behind many perpetual DEXs. Users deposit from Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain and other networks, and their funds are settled on Orderly's own chain, where a shared central limit order book serves every front end built on Orderly. The bridged balance is the collateral used for trading across those venues.
