The goal is to bring the world into a global onchain economy that increases innovation, creativity, and freedom — and that's only possible on a decentralized platform that’s super easy to use. In this talk, Jesse Pollak, Creator of Base, can share his insights on why building for simplicity is so important for the Ethereum ecosystem, and what he’s learned from building the fastest-growing L2.
Jesse Pollak serves as VP, Engineering at Coinbase, where he works on Ethereum L1, L2, and new onchain efforts. He is the Creator of Base, a decentralized Ethereum L2 incubated by Coinbase offering a secure, low-cost, builder-friendly way for anyone, anywhere, to build onchain apps. Prior to building Base, Jesse led all of Coinbase’s consumer-facing engineering from early 2017 to middle 2021, including building Coinbase, Coinbase Pro, and Coinbase Wallet.
