Coinbase's Base layer-2 network has introduced Base MCP, a new tool that connects AI agents directly to users' Base Accounts — enabling those agents to execute swaps, manage trades, and handle portfolio operations autonomously onchain.
The launch marks a meaningful step in the emerging agentic economy: rather than a human manually signing every transaction, an AI agent can now act as a delegated operator within a self-custodied wallet environment. Base is also opening the system to plugins from leading apps already deployed on the network, giving developers a composable surface to build agent-native products.
For the broader crypto ecosystem, Base MCP signals that Layer-2 infrastructure is evolving beyond cheap transaction throughput — the new competitive frontier is becoming the default execution layer for autonomous AI-driven finance.
