[Head of Base Protocol: No Immediate Announcement of Base Token Launch Date] BlockBeats News, October 2 – Jesse Pollak, head of the Base protocol, stated in an interview with Fortune magazine that Base's code is open source and the chain is committed to becoming an ecosystem similar to Linux, designed for use by a wide range of cryptocurrency developers. This is also a key reason why Coinbase plans to issue tokens on Base—to align incentive mechanisms and decentralize the token. Jesse mentioned that token issuance often enriches supporters at the expense of the broader community associated with the blockchain. Therefore, Coinbase is proceeding cautiously and is determined not to rush the deployment of the token, with no plans to announce a launch date anytime soon.
