Plisio Expands with Base Layer 2 Integration: Ethereum and USDC Join the Network
Plisio has officially integrated Base Layer 2, unlocking faster, cheaper, and more scalable crypto transactions. This upgrade brings two major assets into play: Ethereum (ETH on Base) and USD Coin (USDC on Base).
Why This Matters
Base Layer 2 is built on top of Ethereum, designed to reduce transaction costs while increasing speed. By moving operations to this scaling solution, Plisio gives users the benefit of Ethereum’s security with the efficiency of Layer 2 technology. For businesses and individuals, this means lower fees and smoother payment processing.
As of 2025, Ethereum’s daily transactions exceed 1.6 million, with average gas fees down to about $3.78 per transaction, compared to over $18 just a few years ago. Base Layer 2 itself has become one of the most active rollups, handling over 100 million transactions in a 30‑day period, far outpacing Ethereum’s Layer 1 which processed around 33 million.
Ethereum on Base
Ethereum remains one of the most widely used cryptocurrencies. With its integration on Base, users can send and receive ETH with fewer costs and faster confirmation times. This makes everyday transactions—whether buying goods, paying invoices, or moving funds—far more practical.
Base is already proving its strength, generating around $185,000 in average daily revenue from transaction priority fees, compared with Arbitrum’s ~$55,000. This shows strong network adoption and activity.
USDC on Base
Stablecoins are essential for anyone who wants the reliability of fiat currency combined with the flexibility of blockchain. With USDC on Base, Plisio users can now make payments, settlements, and transfers in a stable digital dollar without worrying about volatility. Lower fees make it even more attractive for businesses working with high transaction volumes.
In 2025, USDC continues to expand rapidly, surpassing $1 trillion in monthly transaction volume and having facilitated more than $18 trillion overall. Its adoption among businesses and institutions now rivals—and in many sectors exceeds—that of USDT.
New Opportunities for Users
With this update, Plisio users gain much more than just network access. Businesses can now accept ETH and USDC on Base as payment, store these assets safely in their Plisio wallet, exchange them for other supported currencies, and even make payouts directly in these currencies. This flexibility makes it easier to integrate crypto into daily operations without unnecessary conversion steps or high costs.
The Bigger Picture
This step strengthens Plisio’s role as a leading crypto payment gateway. By embracing Layer 2 solutions, Plisio is ensuring that businesses and individuals can adopt crypto payments without being held back by high costs or slow speeds. Ethereum and USDC on Base are just the beginning, as more assets and networks are expected to follow.
With this integration, Plisio continues to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the decentralized future—making crypto payments accessible, affordable, and ready for mainstream use.
