# Base

## Overview

[Base](https://base.org/), a Layer 2 blockchain compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), offers developers a robust platform for building decentralized apps. It integrates seamlessly with Coinbase products and distribution, ensuring scalability and accessibility.

**As Base is EVM compatible**, you can follow the [Ethereum](/embedded-wallets/blockchains/ethereum/javascript) documentation to send your first transaction and utilize all other wallet features.

## Configure Base

Ensure you have installed the Magic SDK and have access to your API key, follow the [quickstart](/embedded-wallets/quickstart/overview) to get started. You can use Magic's network aliases to connect to either testnet or mainnet on Base.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js Testnet icon="square-js" theme={null}
  // Setting network to point to Base testnet
  const magic = new Magic('YOUR_PUBLISHABLE_API_KEY', {
    network: {
      rpcUrl: 'https://sepolia.base.org',
      chainId: 84532,
    }
  });
  ```

  ```js Mainnet icon="square-js" theme={null}
  // Setting network to point to Base mainnet
  const magic = new Magic('YOUR_PUBLISHABLE_API_KEY', {
    network: {
      rpcUrl: 'https://mainnet.base.org',
      chainId: 8453,
    }
  });
  ```
</CodeGroup>
