Below is a refined and structured introduction to help you quickly understand what Golem Base is, what it offers, and how to start using it.

What is Golem Base?

• About Golem Base

  ---

  Golem Base is a L2 network built on Ethereum, designed to facilitate decentralized data storage and management. It serves as a gateway to various Layer 3 DataBase Chains (DB-Chains), enabling cost-efficient data operations within Web3 while maintaining familiar Web2 database interaction standards.
  
  Testnets

  Golem Base provides public testnets for both Layer 2 and Layer 3. These networks are designed for testing, prototyping, and development with no real financial risk. Configuration here
