# About RACE™ Chain

RACE™ is a secure, low-cost, builder-friendly Ethereum L2 built to bring the next billion users onchain.

RACE™ plans to progressively decentralize in the years ahead. We believe that decentralization is critical to creating an open, global crypto- economy that is accessible to everyone.
