Coinbase lanserar Base Blockchain för användare
- Coinbase tror att dess tvist med SEC inte kommer att påverka dess planer för Base.
- Över 100 ansökningar påstås gå live på Base.
- Basteamet har inga planer på att introducera en inbyggd token.
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 lanseras 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.
Intressant nog har flera Web3-team meddelat planer på att släppa appar för Base. Kryptovärlden har visat enorm entusiasm sedan Coinbase tillkännagav planer på att lansera den nya tjänsten förra veckan. Omkring 100 applikationer ska enligt uppgift distribueras på den nya blockchain-tjänsten.
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 förklarade att den nya tjänsten är en del av dess strategi att locka miljontals människor till Web3 genom att visa andra aspekter av blockchain än kryptovalutor. Pollak tillade vidare att Base inte skulle ha några inbyggda tokens, vilket han hävdar hindrar fokus från att ligga på utvecklare och deras arbete.
Pollak sa i ett uttalande,
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 lanserade sin nya tjänst mitt i en pågående tvist med US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Emellertid anser Pollak att tvist kommer inte att avbryta planer med 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.
Jag har täckt några spännande historier under min karriär som journalist och tycker att blockchain-relaterade historier är väldigt spännande. Jag tror att Web3 kommer att förändra världen och vill att alla ska vara en del av den.
