⛓ Onchain Summer: Coinbase is Launching ‘Base’ Layer 2 Blockchain

Join me in welcoming a new layer 2 blockchain to the ecosystem: Base 👏🏼

Coinbase, the publicly-traded crypto company, built Base on Ethereum with Optimism’s OP stack - the goal being to

Base is aimed at making it easy for dApps to connect with the rest of the Coinbase products, be decentralized and open-source, and give those building on Base access to their 110+ million verified users (according to their website). They released it for developers last month and have the public launch scheduled for this Wednesday (August 9th).

So what’s “Onchain Summer”?

This is Coinbase’s way of onboarding to their chain. For the next few weeks creators and developers will be hosting events to create art, gaming, advocacy, or build apps on Base. Some big names include:

• Coca Cola

• Atari (gaming company)

• OpenSea

• Showtime

Creators are encouraged to build on Base and as an added incentive, Coinbase and PropHouse be giving out 100+ ETH in grants!

• Onchain Summer – August 9 - 18: Make art, a website, or whatever you’re inspired to for Onchain Summer on Base.

• Build on Base – August 12 - 23: Deploy a protocol, build infrastructure, or a new application on Base.

• Stand with Crypto – August 14 - 24: Make a one minute video sharing a story about an onchain use case, or advocating for sensible legislation.

• Based Accounts – August 16 - September 13: Build something that unlocks new or improved user experiences on Base using account abstraction.

Even though the official launch isn’t until tomorrow you can already start bridging ETH over, claim your NAME.cb.id name (like ENS), and mint a commemorative NFT. I did it yesterday and it was very user-friendly!

🔐 Security for Security Tokens: AnChain AI Integrates with Provenance

If anyone can have access to a blockchain, what prevents them from using it for financial crime?

AnChain AI has the answer! They use artificial intelligence for risk assessment and early detection of suspicious activity on-chain. They do this so well that governments, financial institutions, and web3 companies use their services.

Now Provenance Blockchain will be integrating with AnChaini.Ai to build a more secure environment for digital assets.This is such a proactive way to stay ahead of the curve as tokenization starts to ramp up and, consequently, so will financial crime.

Just taking a look around AnChain’s website, here are some key features that caught my eye about their software across their Blockchain Ecosystem Intelligence (BEI) and Compliance, Investigation, Security Operations (CISO) tools:

• Instant wallet screening for suspicious activity before transacting with them

• Auto-Trace: tracking a path of custody from origin to end point even if people use mixers, cross-chain bridges, DeFi platforms, and more

• Wash-trade detection

• Address detection for those on a sanction list

And by the way this is available across 20+ blockchains… and now add Provenance to the list.

For those unaware, Provenance is an open-source blockchain with

• Over $8 billion in real-world asset locked value on-chain

• Has supported over $12 billion in transactions, and

• is used by more than 60 leading financial institutions across banking and payments, private equity, capital markets, lending, and asset management

So yes this is definitely a development I’d imagine their existing issuers would appreciate including Hamilton Lane’s 3 blockchain-native share classes, Hamsa’s $3 billion worth of commercial loans, and more.

Future issuers may be inclined to tokenize on Provenance with these newly added capabilities, so bravo on the strategic partnership!
