_**[Maple](https://maple.finance/)**__, the largest onchain asset manager, has officially launched on_ _**[Base](https://www.base.org/)**_ _— the fast-growing Layer 2 incubated by Coinbase — opening its credit and yield products to millions of users and developers across one of Web3’s most active ecosystems._

The expansion marks a key step in Maple’s long-term strategy: using scalable, consumer-friendly blockchains to distribute institutional-grade asset management far beyond its early crypto-native base.

While institutional products have matured quietly over the past few years, distribution has remained the bottleneck. Base changes that equation.

> **By launching on Base, Maple gains direct access to an ecosystem increasingly used by fintechs, neobanks, and consumer-facing applications — allowing institutional yield to flow directly into onchain financial products used at scale.**

Maple brings a full-stack institutional framework with it: technical infrastructure, operational controls, and legal structuring refined over more than five years, alongside over **$17 billion in facilitated loans**.

## Live Across DeFi, Secured by Infrastructure

From day one, Maple’s yield products are available across the Base ecosystem, including integration with major DeFi venues. Cross-chain deployment between Ethereum mainnet and Base is powered by Chainlink, enabling secure and efficient access without fragmenting liquidity.

The strategy ensures that Maple’s products remain composable — accessible where users already deploy capital — rather than siloed within standalone applications.

> **Our expansion to Base was a natural next step. Base unlocks a powerful new distribution layer and positions Maple for long-term scale as institutional yield moves onchain.**

## Yield as a Core Primitive on Base

Base’s growth has been driven by its focus on usability, developer adoption, and real-world financial applications. Adding institutional credit and yield primitives strengthens that foundation.

Maple’s products are also designed to integrate seamlessly with existing liquidity venues, including **[Aave](https://aave.com/)**, ensuring Base users can access scalable yield strategies backed by deep liquidity.
