Base Adds a Security Monitoring Tool

Coinbase’s Base Layer 2 network has recently launched Pessimism, a monitoring system developed to enhance security oversight for networks within the Optimism ecosystem.

Pessimism aims to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities unique to networks built with the OP Stack and other EVM-compatible chains.

The Pessimism system is made up of three primary components: the ETL subsystem, Risk Engine, and Alerting.

These systems work together to analyze and identify possible security risks. Coinbase plans to further expand Pessimism’s capabilities, particularly in areas like withdrawal safety and detection of security issues.

Users and developers are encouraged to provide feedback and suggest features on the Pessimism GitHub page.
