News linked to both this project and an event.
Base co-founder Jesse Pollak posted on X, stating that at the inception of Base, he told the team and Coinbase that they must do everything possible to support developers, as developers will create products that bring the world on-chain. One key approach is the Base Ecosystem Fund, which helps teams succeed by providing funding and deep engagement. Most of the teams supported by the fund had no prior connection to Coinbase, come from all over the world, and are exploring multiple fields, including finance.
Uniswap founder Hayden Adams posted that he is deeply grateful for the long-standing funding and multifaceted support provided by the Ethereum Foundation (EF), but he specifically clarified that Uniswap was not incubated by the EF; rather, he participated as an external grant recipient with close personal ties to the EF. Previously, EF Chair Aya Miyaguchi and co-founder Vitalik Buterin publicly shared their views on the EF’s future direction. Miyaguchi noted that one reason for proposing the EF’s mission framework at the end of last year was the growing deviation in technical discussions.
