Why The Web3 Creator Economy Needs Coinbase's Base Protocol ft. Jesse Pollak
Description
This bonus episode welcomes Jesse Pollak, contributor #001 at Base Protocol—a layer two Ethereum solution from Coinbase. They discuss their initial meeting at a music NFT event in Denver and trace Jesse's path in the crypto realm: from early startups, being the 70th employee at Coinbase, to crypto advocacy roles in D.C.
Jesse sheds light on Base's aspirations, aiming to position it as more than just another L2, but rather a key player in the evolving web3 creator economy, with an ambitious goal to bring in a billion users. They touch upon the ever-growing potential of NFTs, the idea of NFT-based dating, decentralized ridesharing, and the importance of accessible onchain applications.
Coinbase stands on the brink of ushering web3 mass adoption, and this conversation offers a timely insight into the trajectory of tokenized media and the broader crypto ecosystem.
I hope you enjoy our conversation.
