Odaily News: In response to the discussion about "why Coinbase would consider Jesse Pollak its onchain savior," Cobie said that although he does not agree with all of Jesse Pollak's views, he believes this assessment is well deserved.Cobie pointed out that Jesse Pollak drove Base's launch from scratch, and argued that Base arguably pioneered the trend of enterprises building their own chains that later followed from companies such as Stripe and Robinhood. Base's development predated the 2023 Solana meme coin wave, and Jesse Pollak kept pushing the project forward through the bear market after the FTX collapse until it launched.Cobie also said that Jesse Pollak has indeed made some mistakes over the past year, but what deserves respect is that even after facing long-term criticism from Crypto Twitter, he still keeps showing up and putting in the work every day.

Odaily reports: The Hunter Biden Meme token LAPTOP Foundation has announced that the LAPTOP initial liquidity pool launched at a price of $0.05. Due to high market demand, participation by sniper bots, and insufficient initial liquidity from market makers, the price rapidly surged and then fell back in a short period. To improve liquidity, the team will inject 4 million LAPTOP tokens (0.4% of total supply) starting September 10 at 00:00 UTC to incentivize the Aerodrome liquidity pool. In addition, two prediction events in the Predictions allocation have been confirmed to settle as YES, corresponding to 10 million LAPTOP tokens that will be burned, accounting for 1% of total supply.The team also stated that the 30% of LAPTOP held by the founding team will be locked for 6 months and gradually unlocked over two years, custodied by Coinbase Custody; the 30% of tokens in the Predictions allocation will be locked for 12 months. Another 80 million LAPTOP will be claimable by subscribers who joined Hunter Substack before September 6, and any unclaimed portion after the 30-day claim period ends will be burned.

Odaily News: Coinbase announced that it has partnered with Stanford University cryptography professor Dan Boneh and Localhost Research to host a closed-door "Post-Quantum Bitcoin Workshop" at Stanford University, bringing together Bitcoin developers, cryptography experts, researchers, institutional custodians, and hardware wallet specialists to discuss technical and migration solutions for Bitcoin to address future quantum computing threats.The workshop focused on assessing the progress of quantum computing development, post-quantum cryptography, and different post-quantum signature schemes applicable to Bitcoin, as well as discussing Ethereum's quantum resistance roadmap, practical requirements for institutional custody operations, and how to introduce post-quantum security mechanisms to Bitcoin through new output types and other means. Participants agreed that rather than predicting when quantum computing will pose an actual threat to existing cryptographic systems, it is more important to establish thoroughly tested contingency plans in advance. Quantum computing does not currently pose an imminent crisis, but the earlier research and coordination begins, the better equipped the ecosystem will be to avoid rushed network upgrades and asset migrations under pressure in the future.However, no single post-quantum solution has yet reached consensus. Different approaches involve trade-offs in security, transaction data size, hardware performance, key management, and the difficulty of user migration. Participants noted that Bitcoin's quantum resistance cannot rely solely on protocol-level upgrades—it also requires simultaneous consideration of how individual users, institutional custodians, wallets, and hardware devices generate, store, back up, and migrate keys and assets.
