Base is an Ethereum L2 built by Coinbase. Staking opportunities on Base are exposed through the standard Yield.xyz integration model.

​
What this covers

  • Native staking and yield opportunities on Base
  • Validator selection (where applicable)
  • Lifecycle timing (warmup/unbonding/withdraw windows)

​
Available yields

Query the catalog for current Base staking opportunities: 
curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://api.yield.xyz/v1/yields?network=base' \
  --header 'accept: application/json' \
  --header 'x-api-key: <API_KEY>'
Schemas and required arguments come from yield metadata. Current availability comes from the Providers catalog.
