This page provides an overview of the blockchain networks we currently support.
A network is the blockchain infrastructure supporting transactions, dapps, and smart contracts, with its own rules, consensus mechanism, and native tokens. For example, wallets, addresses, and assets are created on a specific network.

Payments APIs Network Support

By product

Payment API features vary depending on whether you’re using Coinbase Business or Coinbase Prime.

Only send supported assets to your deposit destinations. While other tokens and crypto deposits may be accepted at these addresses, we cannot guarantee their support.Sending unsupported assets may result in loss of funds. If you accidentally send unsupported crypto, you may be able to recover it using Coinbase’s asset recovery service.

Use cases

  • Mainnet: Live, fully operational blockchain with real transactions and actual assets
  • Testnets: Sandbox environments for testing smart contracts, dapps, and other blockchain functionality without risking real funds. You can obtain test currencies from faucets
For example:

Base-SepoliaBase-Mainnet
Ethereum-Sepolia, Ethereum-HoodiEthereum-Mainnet
Solana-DevnetSolana-Mainnet

Mainnets

Use mainnets for production-grade transactions and interactions using CDP APIs:
  • Sending real crypto funds (e.g., withdrawals, payments)
  • Interacting with live DeFi protocols (such as staking)
  • Reading onchain data for dashboards, analytics, etc.
CDP APIs can help simplify production workflows by letting you query balances, transactions, or fetch events without running a node.

Testnets

Use testnets for development, testing, or QA with no real funds involved:
  • Testing smart contract deployments before mainnet launch
  • Simulating workflows (like login, staking, etc.) with testnet funds
  • Continuous Integration tests that run contract calls
  • Demo purposes for sandbox environments

Layer 2s

Use Layer 2s, such as the Base network, for lower fees and faster transactions:
  • Powering gas-efficient wallets or dapps
  • Game or social app activity (frequent, low-cost interactions)
  • Bridging assets between networks
