Twentysix Cloud integrates with Base

Blockchain technology has always promised scalability and decentralization. However, achieving these two in tandem, while maintaining security, has remained a substantial challenge. Base, a Layer 2 blockchain developed by Coinbase, offers a solution to Ethereum’s bottlenecks—high gas fees and limited throughput—while preserving its security properties. But solving scalability isn't enough; decentralized applications need more. This is where aleph.im and Twentysix Cloud come into play.


By integrating Twentysix Cloud’s decentralized storage and off-chain computing solutions with Base, we extend the conversation beyond mere scalability. This integration pushes the frontier toward decentralized infrastructure with enhanced confidentiality, cross-chain flexibility, and a new level of efficiency for developers building the next generation of decentralized applications.

What Base brings: A scalable foundation

Base, powered by Optimism’s OP Stack, addresses a critical pain point in Ethereum’s ecosystem: the prohibitive cost and speed of transactions. But Base doesn’t just speed things up and make them cheaper. It offers a developmental environment that is fundamentally aligned with the values of decentralization while providing real-world usability for developers. The blockchain is backed by Coinbase, which adds a layer of institutional credibility, yet Base remains rooted in Ethereum's core principles of security and decentralization.

Aleph.im’s role: beyond simple scaling

The integration of aleph.im’s technology with Base doesn’t just solve one problem; it offers multiple pathways for developers to build robust, decentralized applications. Here’s how:

1. Off-chain computation:

While Base improves transaction speeds and reduces costs, aleph.im takes this a step further by offloading heavy computation. Ethereum, at its core, wasn't designed to handle large-scale computations efficiently. By shifting resource-intensive tasks off-chain to aleph.im’s decentralized network, developers can significantly enhance the performance of their dApps while maintaining security and integrity.


2. Confidential virtual machines:

Privacy is often overlooked in blockchain discussions, yet it's critical. Twentysix Cloud’s confidential virtual machines provide a way to process sensitive data without sacrificing the transparency and trustlessness of blockchain. This is particularly relevant in industries like finance and healthcare, where sensitive user data requires both privacy and decentralized processing.


3. Data sovereignty: decentralized storage as a pillar:

Base provides an efficient layer for transactions, but data storage remains a crucial component of any dApp. Centralized data storage runs counter to the ethos of decentralization. Aleph.im addresses this by offering a decentralized, redundant network for data storage, ensuring that applications built on Base have access to censorship-resistant, highly available data without single points of failure.


4. Interoperability: cross-chain connectivity:

The future of blockchain isn't isolated ecosystems but interoperable networks. Aleph.im’s cross-chain capabilities ensure that dApps on Base aren’t siloed. Developers can create applications that not only operate on Base but interact with other chains, extending their reach and utility.

The developer’s new toolkit

Aleph.im’s integration with Base equips developers with a powerful suite of tools. Whether you're optimizing for scalability, data security, or cross-chain operability, this integration offers flexible solutions:

Off-Chain Computation: Efficiently handle computational tasks off-chain, reducing costs and improving dApp performance.


Confidential VMs: Leverage secure, private computation for sensitive data while maintaining decentralized integrity.


Decentralized Storage: Store data in a truly decentralized network, ensuring security and availability.


Interoperability Tools: Seamlessly interact with multiple blockchains, expanding your dApp’s capabilities beyond Base.
