Coinbase's Base: Pollak Debunks Centralization Myths
posted 14 Aug 2023
Jesse Pollak, Coinbase protocols lead, has clarified the "permissionless" nature of Coinbase’s Layer 2 blockchain, Base, on X (formerly Twitter).
Responding to Gnosis founder Martin Köppelmann's concerns about Base’s centralization, Pollak emphasized that Coinbase doesn't have unilateral control over contracts or the ability to freeze funds on the network.
Despite being the sole operator of Base's sequencer, Pollak insists that the platform aims to be open, permissionless, and decentralized.
