arr00 looking forward to gaining interest on USDC natively on Base! The big issue with USDC on ETH is definetly the fees. Unless you are in the teens-of-thousands of dollars, you’ll have to have your USDC on Compound for a long time just to be break even to gas fees on L1. There are other L2’s as well, but I feel like the one with the best UX for your everyday crypto user is Base.
