Base MCP enables users to execute DeFi transactions and manage wallets through AI chat prompts on Coinbase’s Layer 2 network.
Coinbase’s Ethereum Layer 2 network Base has rolled out Base MCP, an AI integration allowing users to control crypto wallets and decentralized finance (DeFi) apps via chat interfaces like ChatGPT and Claude. The tool leverages the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to securely connect AI systems with external applications, enabling tasks such as fund transfers, token swaps, and portfolio tracking through plain-language commands.
The launch includes integrations with DeFi protocols Uniswap, Morpho, and Moonwell, positioning AI-driven conversational interfaces as a potential gateway for broader crypto adoption. Base MCP reflects growing efforts to merge AI with blockchain infrastructure, simplifying user interactions with onchain applications.
