Coinbase made an NFT marketplace last cycle that had them competing in the meta. (It’s now integrated into core product bc nfts were tulips).

Coinbase should make a memecoin trading platform to compete this cycle. A simplified version of Coinbase Wallet that’s just for degens and shows the power of Base. Include Solana, and tokens like $DEGEN that bridge both. This would probably be a product of this cycle and die but they’d be able to 

a) leverage their on-ramp to get people on Base
b) get retail-side data on degen behaviors 
c) make some of that sweet degen moola
d) compete with the meta / marketing splash

idk time to build an mvp of this with the right people is probably 2 weeks. seems like a no brainer.

This is a good idea. 

Vertically integrate onramp + smart wallet (with Solana support) + swap and send. 

Allow for much larger initial buys because of the anti-fraud moat

No other features.

Highly opinionated wallets would be very good. I used to think Rainbow was too simple but I was wrong since I use it the most now.

Everyone is till trying to make Solana happen. It’s yet another blip phase. Those that veer from the path of decentralization will be punished in the end. Eventually it will blow up and everyone who built on it will regret it. That might take 2-5 years but it will happen.

maybe although feel like coinbase already suffers from product bloat (even if not that many, starting to feel like a few products are competing for same attention)

Thanks for sharing @dwr.eth 

Side-note and mini-shill: @coinbase I know some folks who can build this in stealth if you’d like. 🤙

the holy trinity: security, ux, and speed. vertical integration is the only way to nail all three
