Idea: Consider adding BASE as an additional L2 to demonstrate Atomic-Swaps on BASE

Coinbase engineers excited to see their L2 being used for decentralized swaps.

Why not add BASE to DCRDEX to generate interest from them?

It would be nice to integrate BASE because it seems to be the "winning Layer 2 on Ethereum" (or one of the winning ones),

but I think just adding it is not the only "obstacle" for onboarding BASE users - namely we'd need to do something about DEX bonds:

• either lift DEX bond requirements entirely (until it becomes necessary to have it, meaning Servers experience a lot of traffic and they actually need the DoS protections bonding mechanism is designed to provide)
• or maybe have some sort of "trial version" where you can place up to 10-20 trades without having any bond (and only after exhausting that limit will you be asked to create a bond in order to continue using your current DEX account for trading)
• or at least keep the bonding requirements as they are but have an option to bond with some BASE-native assets (I assume that'd be USDC on BASE)

because as it currently stands, the current bonding requirements are an immense barrier even for those who do practice self-custody and Defi - you either need to have some DCR / LTC already in order to start using Bison DEX or you need to "talk to Decred community and ask for referral bond" (and know where/how to do it, wait for human response, etc.)

These are all good points. I think it's best to just get the integration done and see if we can get some eyes/interest Coinbase first before trying to solve other aspects of "will BASE users use this". Very good suggestions.
