Coinbase Launches Base App, Upgrading Coinbase Wallet into an Integrated Social and Trading Platform

Coinbase has launched the Base App, replacing the original Coinbase Wallet, integrating social networks, mini-applications, instant $USDC payments, and trading functions, relying on the Ethereum Layer 2 network Base ecosystem. The application launched user testing for the waitlist on July 16, supporting Farcaster protocol social feeds, Zora content tagging and rewards, real-time transaction viewing, and on-chain token swaps. The Base App has multiple built-in mini-applications and encrypted messaging, and introduces the smart wallet Base Account and the new checkout service Base Pay. Coinbase plans to gradually promote it publicly in the future. [Odaily Planet Daily]
