This enhancement offers merchants volatility-free payments, low transaction fees, and instant settlement across hundreds of currencies, available on Base and other EVM networks.
At Coinbase we believe that onchain is the new online. Just like the internet broke down barriers, democratized access to information and made knowledge universally available, we believe crypto is doing the same with broader access to financial services and commerce. A big next step in our vision is to make payments faster, cheaper, and global. Today we are announcing a large update to our Coinbase Commerce product, now built on top of our new open source Onchain Payment Protocol, which offers instant settlement, low fees, and broad asset support to improve the payment experience for merchants and their customers.
