QuickSwap, the decentralized exchange that made its name on Polygon, has officially planted its flag on Base, Coinbase’s Layer 2 network. The move transforms what started as a single-chain swap platform into something considerably more ambitious: a multi-chain DeFi hub operating across more than eight EVM-compatible networks.
A governance proposal authorizing the Base deployment passed on May 13, 2025, with the mainnet launch following by mid-2025.
Why Base, and why now
The platform now offers its full suite of services on the network: token swaps, concentrated liquidity positions through its V3 implementation, yield farming, staking, and perpetual trading. That’s a complete deployment of the DragonFi ecosystem, which is the umbrella brand QuickSwap now operates under.
QuickSwap has also integrated Base Smart Wallet functionality, which lowers the barrier for Coinbase users who might be interacting with DeFi for the first time.
