Base is for everyone (BASE)

Q2 just started and the energy is different fr.

This week I'm locked in on:

→ Major update to @OxWorkBot
→ Pushing BuildPad further on Base
→ Going deeper into agent-to-agent commerce

The ones who use Q2 to actually execute will separate from the ones still "planning."

What's your focus this week?

Mission & Vision of Coinbase

Coinbase + Base is like a bridge connecting the traditional financial world with the new onchain world.
It makes it easier for ordinary people to gradually adopt decentralized finance.

Aerodrome serves as a "liquidity hub".
It allows trading everything—crypto, stocks, currencies—in a non-custodial way 😎.

Mission & Vision of Coinbase

Coinbase, together with the Base app, is all about connecting traditional finance with the onchain future. The goal is to make it easy for people to move from familiar financial systems into a more open, decentralized world.

At the center of this ecosystem, Aerodrome acts as a liquidity hub, making it simple to trade crypto and other assets like equities, commodities, and currencies in a non-custodial way.

Base is issuing a token?!

✅Is the Base chain a chain for social/meme coins?

The Base chain started in 2023 as an OP Stack L2 and grew rapidly with low-cost, high-speed transactions.
However, later the strategy focused on Social/Creator/Meme coins such as Friendtech, Zora, leading to controversy over favoritism and a significant loss of trust.

Even the head Jesse Pollak admitted in February, "The strategy did not proceed as planned (https://t.co/tzTrD7fZcM)".

✅Base Network Token Exploration

In fact, Base previously said "We have no plans to create a token," but as TVL and activity continued to decline, they may have sensed a crisis.

In September 2025, Base announced the network token exploration (https://t.co/JI34a0tgZd) officially.

CEO Brian Armstrong personally said it is "a good tool to accelerate decentralization and creator/developer growth (https://t.co/cdJIOqG1RR)" and strongly supported it, hinting at the possibility of a TGE.

✅2026 Mission, Vision & Strategy

Afterwards
- In January 2026, Coinbase stated “Let’s bring the world on-chain with the Base chain and Base App (https://t.co/dyP5egzmpC)”.

- In March 2026, the 2026 Mission, Vision & Strategy (https://t.co/ogI3g9NK2E) was announced.

The main directions of the strategy are
• Expanding on-chain markets
• Scaling payments based on stablecoins
• Strengthening the developer/builder ecosystem
At the same time, it is moving from OP Stack to its own infrastructure, evolving more independently.

✅Changes in the saga

In fact, there has been no definitive announcement about token creation or airdrop yet.
However, the friend-invite feature is actively running in the Base App.

Many see this as “the intention to first boost chain and dApp activity through the Base App and then use that as a basis for an airdrop.”
And Brian Armstrong’s direct leadership appears to signal that Base is entering a new phase for a rebound.

Going forward, we will examine the DeFi projects in the Base ecosystem and share news and farming strategies.
