Coinbase Explores Base Token—Community Weighs In

[etfs]

Jesse Pollak, head of Coinbase’s Ethereum Layer 2 Base, invited the crypto community to pitch ideas for a potential Base token.

The discussion spans token timing, design, and fair distribution, with proposals suggesting rewards for builders, early users, and long-term contributors. Pollak emphasized this is an exploratory, co-creation process, not an imminent launch.

This marks a shift from traditional stealth launches to transparent, community-driven token design.

The community’s reaction says it all — people want transparency about how the Base token fits into Coinbase’s broader ecosystem. Clarity will be key here.

Coinbase entering tokenomics again could be massive if done right. But the community must be part of the conversation from day one to ensure trust.
