[Base Team under Coinbase Launches Token and Governance Research Role, Officially Advancing Decentralization Plans] Reported by Golden Finance, Coinbase's Ethereum Layer 2 network Base is currently hiring a 'Token & Governance Research Specialist,' indicating that it is formally planning token issuance and a decentralization roadmap. This role is responsible for defining potential token objectives within the Base ecosystem and advancing governance decentralization in phases, including designing governance systems, drafting the 'Base Charter,' establishing on-chain voting mechanisms, and community engagement processes. Previously, Base lead Jesse Pollak and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong both stated that the team is 'exploring the issuance of a native token,' marking a shift from Coinbase's initial stance of having 'no token plans.'
