TechFlow News, on July 16, Base founder Jesse Pollak conducted a deep review of strategic mistakes over the past year. He admitted that previously betting on the social sector (Farcaster, Zora, creator tokens, etc.) was the wrong direction, and the comprehensive collapse of the social market had a significant negative impact on Base, causing it to lag behind competitors in key sectors such as perpetual contracts and prediction markets.
Jesse stated that he has handed over Base apps to Coinbase, to be taken over by @cobie, while he himself refocuses on building the chain itself, and re-established the core direction—building Base into a global financial blockchain. He clarified three major strategic priorities for 2026:
- Trading: covering all asset classes including tokenized stocks, Meme coins, application tokens, etc.
- Payments: promoting the implementation of stablecoins for individuals and enterprises globally
- AI Agents: accelerating the above two, as cryptocurrencies are naturally suited for AI and computer-native currency needs
