Uptick Interchain NFT Infrastructure Expands to Base
Uptick Network is on the move again, pushing the envelope in the NFT space and expanding the horizons for our community and developers alike. Today, we are excited to announce our next big leap: the integration of Base into the Uptick Cross-chain Bridge (UCB) Protocol.
With UCB 1.8 already enabling a wide array of NFT transactions across multiple ecosystems, our new venture into Base marks an important stride in our journey to create a truly interconnected NFT universe on Uptick.
At its core, UCB 1.8 is designed to bridge the gap between various NFT asset standards and blockchain ecosystems. Supporting standards like ERC-721, ERC-1155, and the innovative ERC-4907, UCB 1.8 is built for versatility, enabling a broad spectrum of NFT use cases from gaming to digital art and beyond.
The purpose of UCB is to introduce a diverse range of ecosystems, which establishes a solid basis for profound compatibility and extensive adaptability across numerous blockchains. This expansion significantly widens the potential market for the Uptick Ecosystem.
UCB has already made its mark in ecosystems such as Polygon, Binance Smart Chain, Arbitrum, and recently, Solana. Now, by welcoming Base into this family, we’re continuing to enhance the utility and accessibility of NFTs across the blockchain space.

As we continue to pioneer in the realm of NFT interoperability, Base becomes the next ecosystem successfully deployed on UCB. This strategic expansion brings with it an array of future opportunities, further broadening the possibilities for our community and developers.
Why Base?
Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 solution developed by Coinbase, was chosen for its strong infrastructure that combines faster transactions, lower fees, and simplified user experiences with the security, stability, and scalability essential for on-chain applications. Its integration into Uptick’s Ecosystem is an important one, as Base allows developers to deploy any EVM codebase and enables user and asset transitions from Ethereum Layer 1, Coinbase, and other interoperable chains.
These features significantly cut the costs associated with operating in the Ethereum environment, introducing advanced capabilities like Account Abstraction (ERC-4337), gasless transactions through simple APIs, and smart contract wallets, all at a fraction of the usual fees.
Scaled by Coinbase, Base enhances decentralized applications with easy access to Coinbase’s products and extensive distribution network. This includes seamless integrations, straightforward fiat onramps, and access to the $130 billion in assets on the Coinbase platform, providing substantial resources and connectivity for developers.
We believe this foray into Base continues to showcase our vision of creating truly interconnected NFT infrastructure by integrating ecosystems that share our ethos. By embracing Base, we are tapping into an ecosystem renowned for its ability to support a growing community, aligning perfectly with our mission to democratize the creation, trade, and ownership of NFTs.
To summarize, the decision to integrate Base into the UCB Protocol was driven by several key factors ⤵
Scalability and Performance
Base’s infrastructure is designed to handle the high demands of modern NFT transactions, ensuring that scalability never comes at the expense of performance.
User Experience
With a focus on creating a seamless interaction for users, Base enhances the overall experience of buying, selling, and trading NFTs.
