Coinbase Wallet's epic launch of Base chain and its successful OnChain Summer Event were two major milestones for the Coinbase ecosystem in 2023.
Base is a Layer 2 scaling solution built on Ethereum that aims to make Ethereum more accessible and affordable for users. It does this by reducing transaction fees and increasing transaction speeds. Coinbase Wallet was one of the first wallets to support Base, and it has played a key role in helping Base gain adoption.
The OnChain Summer Event was a series of educational and promotional activities that Coinbase hosted to encourage users to learn more about and participate in on-chain activities. The event was a success, with over 1 million users participating and over $1 billion in transactions being processed on Base.
In addition to these two events, Coinbase also released a number of roadmap updates for its ecosystem of products in 2023. These updates included:
The launch of Coinbase Pay, a new payment platform that allows users to pay for goods and services with their Coinbase Wallet.
The expansion of Coinbase's NFT marketplace to support more blockchains and marketplaces.
The launch of Coinbase Prime, a new subscription service that offers exclusive benefits to high-volume traders and investors.
The development of a new custody solution for institutional investors.
These updates demonstrate Coinbase's commitment to building a comprehensive and user-friendly ecosystem of products and services for the cryptocurrency industry.
Here is a more detailed look at each of the milestones you mentioned:
Coinbase Wallet's launch of Base chain
Base chain was launched in May 2023 as a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum. It was developed by Coinbase and Optimism, a leading Layer 2 protocol. Base is designed to make Ethereum more accessible and affordable for users by reducing transaction fees and increasing transaction speeds.
Coinbase Wallet was one of the first wallets to support Base, and it has played a key role in helping Base gain adoption. Coinbase Wallet is a popular self-custody wallet that allows users to store, send, and receive cryptocurrencies and NFTs. It is also integrated with the Coinbase exchange, making it easy for users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies.
The launch of Base on Coinbase Wallet was a significant event for the cryptocurrency industry. It represented the first time that a major exchange had integrated a Layer 2 scaling solution. The launch also helped to raise awareness of Layer 2 scaling solutions and their potential to make Ethereum more accessible and affordable for users.
Coinbase's OnChain Summer Event
The OnChain Summer Event was a series of educational and promotional activities that Coinbase hosted in June and July 2023. The event was designed to encourage users to learn more about and participate in on-chain activities.
On-chain activities are those that take place directly on the blockchain, rather than through a centralized exchange or other custodian. Examples of on-chain activities include making transactions, staking tokens, and participating in decentralized applications (dApps).
The OnChain Summer Event included a variety of activities, such as:
Educational articles and videos about on-chain activities
Contests and giveaways that rewarded users for participating in on-chain activities
Partnerships with other cryptocurrency companies to offer exclusive discounts and promotions to Coinbase users
The OnChain Summer Event was a success, with over 1 million users participating and over $1 billion in transactions being processed on Base. The event helped to raise awareness of on-chain activities and their importance to the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
Roadmap updates for the Coinbase ecosystem of products

The expansion of Coinbase's NFT marketplace to support more blockchains and marketplaces. Coinbase's NFT marketplace currently supports Ethereum and Polygon, but it is expected to expand to support more blockchains in the future. Coinbase is also working to partner with other NFT marketplaces to make it easier for users to buy, sell, and trade NFTs.
