爆炸新闻📰👇 Jesse将把 Base App 交回给 Coinbase 母公司，由 @cobie 接手去做好整个 onchain 最好的 App（可能不只限 Base）。 承认在大公司里搞去中心化网络很难（比如 CEO Brian 不会发 meme），但他们还在努力去中心化。 2026 年三大重点： 交易：所有资产（股票代币化、meme、app coin 等）。 支付：全球好用的稳定币（个人+企业）。Agents：AI 智能体，因为加密是计算机/AI 的原生货币，会创造海量新经济参与者。

吴说获悉，Base 创始人 Jesse Pollak 发文表示，2026 年第一季度对 Base 是一次重大挑战，过去对社交产品和内容币方向的押注存在错误判断，导致 Base 在永续合约、预测市场、代币化和支付等关键领域落后于竞争对手。Pollak 称，其已将重心重新转向区块链基础设施建设，认为加密行业无需依赖社交实现大规模增长，稳定币、预测市场、永续合约和代币化等金融应用足以推动用户上链。Base App 已交还 Coinbase 管理，由 Cobie 负责后续发展，Pollak 将专注于把 Base 打造成全球金融基础设施，并在 2026 年重点推进交易、支付和 AI Agent 三大方向
