In this episode, we’re joined by Jesse Pollak, the Creator of Base. Our conversation dives into the details behind moving Coinbase onchain, building Base as a ‘company within a company’, and combining the strengths of Coinbase and Optimism to create a global onchain economy. 

We speak about Base’s lean and engineering-driven team structure, the purpose of economic alliances between chains, pioneering governance strategies, standardising metrics in the industry, and the paradigm shift that building onchain enables for decision-making, product development, and more efficient business operations. 

Tune in for a great discussion about the fundamentals of Base and building onchain.
