Cobie: Jesse Pollak deserves to be seen by Coinbase as the "onchain savior," and Base arguably kicked off the wave of enterprises building their own chains

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.
