CHAINS
Base
Base is Coinbase's L2 and Tab's primary deployment target. Low fees, fast finality, and the deepest USDC liquidity in the ecosystem make it the default chain for new integrations.
Stablecoin
Tab settles in native USDC on Base (6 decimals). USDbC and other wrapped variants are not supported — only the canonical Circle USDC.
Block time and finality
Two-second blocks. Tab treats a payment as settled after the first confirmation, which is consistent with how Coinbase itself recognizes Base USDC transfers.
Gas sponsorship
Tab's relayers pay the gas. USDC on Base supports EIP-2612 permit, so the first interaction is fully gasless too — no separate approve transaction needed.
