Base应用在140多个国家上线，Coinbase推动社交交易走向主流

As encryption technologies become more accessible to a wider audience, Coinbase’s Base app has recently launched globally. This app offers an integrated blockchain experience with social networking as its core feature. By combining transactions, payments, and income management into one app, it makes it easier for new users to get started, and the app is available in over 140 countries. With the cost of Layer2 technology decreasing and user numbers increasing again, Base aims to transform blockchain from a tool into a practical social and financial infrastructure.

Coinbase is helping to accelerate the adoption of consumer cryptocurrencies. The Base app no longer requires waiting on a waitlist; it is now available worldwide.

As new apps reach a broader audience, the expansion of consumer cryptocurrency platforms continues. Base is an Ethereum Layer 2 extension network and blockchain ecosystem, developed by Coinbase Global Inc. (Nasdaq stock symbol: COIN). The app was made available on December 17th, and it is now available in over 140 countries, focusing on social networking, trading, payment, and income management.

Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, shared his thoughts on the launch on the social media platform X on December 17th. He wrote:

There are approximately 1.5 million people waiting on the waitlist for the Base app. Now, it’s available in over 140 countries. It’s time to start posting on Base!

His comments align with the company’s broader efforts to integrate social interactions with financial activities into a single chain-based product targeting mainstream users. The app is built using open protocols like Zora and Farcaster, allowing users to discover creators, track popular tokens, and monitor the trading activities of other participants in real time. Transactions can be executed directly through simplified operations within social feeds, thereby reducing complexity. The announcement states: “The Base App is an application that combines social networking, trading, payment processing, app discovery, and revenue generation.”

Base further describes its economic design, emphasizing tokenization as a fundamental principle. The announcement reads:

This is based on a very simple reality: in this app, everything is tokenized and tradable—protocols, applications, creators, posts, etc.—and all of these assets are valued directly in a free and open market.

“By bringing value directly to your hands, we are creating a market where everyone can benefit from growth, and traders can support the next generation of builders and creators,” the announcement adds.

In addition to transactions, the Base app supports revenue generation through content sharing, encrypted messages with friends and AI agents, as well as access to games and decentralized financial tools without having to leave the app. The Creator Coin establishes a direct economic relationship between creators and their communities, with revenues flowing directly into wallets, rather than through delayed advertising models. Base also features integrations that allow creators to import content from other platforms. It also offers a limited-time USDC reward program for new and active users, further supporting its goal of fostering open and global participation in the blockchain economy.
