# Overview

> Build on Base by outcome — issue stablecoins, facilitate payments, and run private transactions, with primitives built into the chain.

Base gives you financial primitives built into the chain: stablecoin issuance, payments, and private settlement ship as native standards — no custom contracts to write or audit — settling in under a second with direct access to Coinbase's users and USDC liquidity. Pick an outcome to get started.
