Coinbase added RSC today to its listings roadmap. Since I’m a co-founder of @ResearchHub, I want to share a few details about the precautions put in place years ago to remove any conflicts of interest: - All assets that get listed on Coinbase go through our Digital Asset Support Group (DASG). The DASG reviews every asset that gets listed on Coinbase from a legal, compliance, and cybersecurity perspective. - Most important point: I am not a member of the DASG, and so have no voting authority on which assets get approved for listing. - My affiliation with ResearchHub was disclosed to the Coinbase board, as is standard practice. - For context, RSC was created by the ResearchHub Foundation. ResearchHub then adopted the use of ResearchCoin on ResearchHub to help reward members of the community and to facilitate moderation. - The mission of ResearchHub is to accelerate scientific research. My hope is that ResearchHub and ResearchCoin will be good for the world in terms of helping accelerate scientific research, and that I can help set it up for long term success. In March 2022 I wrote a blog post about this topic, and made a public commitment to not sell RSC for at least four years - this hasn’t changed.
