Coinbase said in a blog post:
Coinbase Wallet is now the Base app, evolving from a wallet into an everything app that brings together social, apps, chat, payments, and trading.
John Granata, who leads the product team, stated on X that the goal was to create more freedom and new ways for people to be creative and innovative.
Currently in beta with a waitlist, the app focuses on four main features. It offers an open social feed powered by Farcaster, where creators keep ownership of their posts and can earn money without needing big followings or sponsorships.
A discovery section lets users explore and use mini-apps, including games, yield tools, and prediction markets, directly in the app. It also includes private, encrypted chat with optional AI helpers that assist with trades and other tasks.
Finally, it features a built-in wallet that allows users to trade and make payments within the social feed. Payments use Circle’s USDC
