Coinbase Onchain Pivot with Base
With Jesse Pollak (Base)

It hosts all of Coinbase’s on-chain products, but anyone can also build decentralized applications on Base. Jesse Pollak is in charge of the ambitious Base project at Coinbase. He will explain to us why Coinbase is stepping out of its comfort zone and banking on protocols.

Synapse’s problems hurt and failed a number of other startups and affected millions of consumers nationwide. Many believe that clearer regulation is needed in the future.
