# Why Base

### We chose BASE because its Built for Speed and Affordability

At Pa'mimint , we're obsessed with delivering the smoothest possible user experience for our collectors. That's why we've chosen to launch on a blockchain specifically designed for blazing-fast transactions and ultra-low gas costs.

### **Here's what that means for you:**

* **Lightning-Fast Transactions:** Say goodbye to lag and hello to instant gratification. Base chain prioritizes speed, ensuring a seamless experience when buying, selling, and trading your Pa'mimint NFT cards.
* **Super Low Gas Fees:** Forget about hefty fees eating into your collecting budget. The low gas costs on our chosen blockchain mean more money to spend on the cards you love, most mints cost below $0.02 and marketplaces interactions are fractions of a cent
* **Chainlink Oracle Ensures Price Stability:** We leverage Chainlink oracle technology to guarantee pack prices remain consistent, even during periods of intense market fluctuations. This means you can collect with confidence, knowing exactly what you're paying for every time.
* **Effortless Integration with Existing Tools:** Base is EVM-compatible, meaning it seamlessly integrates with your favorite wallets and tools: Metamask, Rainbow, Rabby and many more
