Coinbase lance la blockchain de base pour les utilisateurs
- Coinbase pense que son différend avec la SEC n'affectera pas ses plans pour Base.
- Plus de 100 applications devraient être mises en ligne sur Base.
- L'équipe de base n'a pas l'intention d'introduire un jeton natif.
US-based crypto exchange Coinbase has launched the mainnet for Base, marking a new era where public companies operate their own distributed chains. Base is Coinbase’s Ethereum layer-2 network, which the exchange claims will help the development of millions of decentralized applications.
Coinbase announced on Wednesday, August 9, that the Base network was ready to onboard users after spending weeks in an “open for builders only” phase. Coinbase originally lancé Base in a beta version in February. Last month, Base launched its mainnet for builders. However, Coinbase noted that the new service was not ready for the broader crypto community at the time. However, today’s launch means that Base is now available to the public.
Fait intéressant, plusieurs équipes Web3 ont annoncé leur intention de publier des applications pour Base. Le monde de la cryptographie a fait preuve d'un enthousiasme massif depuis que Coinbase a annoncé son intention de lancer le nouveau service la semaine dernière. Environ 100 applications devraient être déployées sur le nouveau service blockchain.
Jesse Pollak, Coinbase’s senior director of engineering, expressed delight at the response to the new service. He remarked that “it’s incredibly exciting that there’s been so much energy and appetite for folks to come and use Base, even before we publicly launched.”
Pollak a expliqué que le nouveau service fait partie de sa stratégie visant à attirer des millions de personnes sur Web3 en affichant d'autres aspects de la blockchain autres que les crypto-monnaies. Pollak a en outre ajouté que Base n'aurait aucun jeton natif, ce qui, selon lui, empêche de se concentrer sur les développeurs et leur travail.
Pollak a déclaré dans un communiqué,
Historically, the aperture of what people can do with crypto has been relatively limited, mostly speculation. In order for Coinbase and crypto and this work that we’re doing to have the impact that we all want, we need to move from the place where this is speculation to a place where this is integrated into every part of someone’s day-to-day existence.
According to Pollak, Coinbase wants its users to see Base “an opportunity for growth and expansion.” However, Pollak explained that crypto exchange believes “it’s really important that we incubate and curate a Base native community where folks who are really building base first, and creating for this new kind of world.”
Some executives believe that Coinbase’s new business initiative might eventually enable it to generate fees from operating its own blockchain. In addition, the crypto exchange could also enjoy a lucrative source of income from applications created on top of it.
Coinbase believes the SEC case won’t affect Base
Coinbase a lancé son nouveau service au milieu d'un différend en cours avec la Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) des États-Unis. Cependant, Pollak estime que le différend n'interrompra pas les plans avec Base.
Pollak noted that the SEC’s action targets aspects of Coinbase’s business that are unrelated to Base, which eliminates any concern of interference.
