BBG News
  • Coinbase has just flung open the doors of the Base App, booting the old Wallet out on its digital butt! 💰🚪
  • Check this out: the Base App’s social feed lets you tokenize your posts and rake in weekly rewards! Ka-ching! 💸🤑
  • Base Pay is here for one-click USDC checkouts! That’s right, folks—cashback and Shopify integration are coming in hot! 🔥💳

So, gather ’round, folks! Coinbase has just taken another hilarious leap into the crypto circus. On July 16, they birthed the Base App, kicking the old Wallet to the curb like last week’s leftovers. This snazzy new app is claiming the throne as the all-in-one solution for socializing, crypto trading, payments, and who knows what else—maybe even your morning coffee! ☕️

Base App Beta Launch: It’s Like Social Trading Got a Makeover! 🎉

The launch was unveiled at the spectacularly named event, “A New Day One” (because who doesn’t love rebranding?). They revealed Base as a three-part system: the Base Chain (a Layer 2 network on Ethereum), Base Build (a developer toolkit), and of course, the shiny new Base App to connect all us plebeians to the blockchain bonanza.

Right now, the Base App is in beta, and it rolled out to those lucky folks who signed up before the waitlist closed. And guess what? Its social feed is the star of the show! Using the Farcaster protocol, creators can turn their posts into tokens—yup, every snack-sized thought can now make you some sweet moolah. Engagements? They’ll reward you weekly as if you were a crypto celebrity! 🌟

But wait! There’s more! You’ll get to eyeball what your friends are trading in real-time! You don’t even have to step outside the delightful feed to exchange tokens! It’s like holding an online party, but with the excitement of a crypto trading floor! 🥳

John Granata, the brains behind the Base App, is on a mission to sprinkle economic freedom and creativity like confetti. He believes this app is the dawn of a new era—a social network that could make Facebook look like a flip phone! 📱🤪

Base Network Goes After Shoppers and Creators with Lightning-Fast USDC Payments! ⚡️

Now, let’s talk about Base Pay. This gem offers a single-click checkout for USDC payments—because who has the time to click more than once? Coinbase cooked this up on Shopify, and they think they’ll have us tapping to pay in physical stores by the end of this year! Imagine that, folks—giving your cash to a merchant with one tiny tap! Talk about convenience! 💁‍♂️

According to Shopify’s own Alex Danco, tens of thousands of merchants are ready to accept USDC using Base Pay. By the end of the year, they’ll all be in the game! And here’s the kicker: if you pay with USDC, you get a sweet 1% cashback! Now, doesn’t that just tickle your wallet? 🤑🎉

So far, the Base network has been like a magnet for developers and crypto whizzes, but now Coinbase is keen on reeling in us ordinary folks. Oh, and let’s not forget JPMorgan—they’re looking to hop on board with a deposit token on the Base blockchain. It’s like a crypto stampede! 📈🐴

Coinbase is showering attention on creators, believing the app will open new ways to monetize their genius. With more control over their content, identity, and data, they’ll be cashing in like never before! Coinbase even promises to fund creator rewards so this idea can take off, and they’ll wave goodbye to those pesky gas fees for USDC transactions in the app’s chat. 💬💰
