Base

The creator of Ethereum layer 2 blockchain Base, Jesse Pollak, has announced he is officially “stepping up” into Coinbase leadership while also taking the lead on Coinbase Wallet — a move that industry pundits say could “level up” the crypto user experience. 

Pollak — who will continue leading the Base team — said Base’s closer relationship with Coinbase Wallet will push the two entities toward achieving their common goal: To make it “dead simple for the world to come onchain.”
