Base Protocol Leader: No token will be rushed out, and there is no timeline plan to announce in the short term

BlockBeats News, October 3rd, Base Protocol lead Jesse Pollak stated in an episode of the "Crypto Playbook" video podcast that the Base code is fully open source, aiming to become a Linux-style multi-developer ecosystem. This is precisely why Coinbase plans to launch a token on Base — to achieve token decentralization through alignment incentives. Last month, Coinbase began teasing the token idea, which, if successful, is bound to attract dual attention from developers and speculators.

Pollak emphasized that Coinbase will not rush the process and has no short-term timeline for the plan. He acknowledged the troubled history of token launches, often becoming a tool for project teams to profit at the expense of the ecosystem. In response, Coinbase is proceeding cautiously and collaborating with projects on Base that have issued tokens responsibly (such as Aerodrome, which achieved a "fully fair launch"). "Tokens are unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution," Pollak pointed out.
