The COIN Tokenization on Base

According to Jesse Pollak, integrating COIN on Base is something the layer-2 developers are currently looking into. Amid conversations with community members, Pollak confirmed that despite the new tilt, there are no concrete plans regarding this tokenization for now.

The Base developer said the team are in an exploratory phase for now. The goal here remains to understand what the team needs to unlock from a regulatory standpoint that will enable COIN tokenization on Base. Considering the fragile nature of regulations in the United States, Pollak said the goal remains to launch COIN on the protocol “in a safe, compliance and future looking way.”

Despite the reservations, he confirmed that users can already access COIN on other protocols like BackedFi. However, the accessbility to BackFi is limited to non-US citizen. It remains crucial to secure regulatory clearance in order to unlock the product for all users as an open source platform.

In all, Jesse Pollak reassured community members that it is still day one, implying there is room for more plan refinement. The COIN launch on Base might help solidify the protocol’s rank as the biggest L2 on Ethereum after recently outshining Arbitrum.
