Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said that Base App is testing many features simultaneously, and advised users not to focus on a specific feature because the app may change as testing progresses.
He said that early promotion might lead many people to misunderstand that Base App is solely about content/creator Token , when in fact it's just one part of the social feed. The development team will continue to experiment with new ideas and welcome user feedback.
- Base App is currently running several tests: trading tags, app ecosystem, messaging, social feed, and payments.
- Content/creator Token are only a part of the social feed, not the sole focus.
- Coinbase is open to adjustments; user feedback is encouraged to ensure the full functionality is implemented.
What is Base App currently testing?
Base App is currently testing trading tags, the app ecosystem, messaging, social feed, and payment functionality simultaneously; therefore, users should not judge the app based on a single feature.
Brian Armstrong wrote on X that the tests are taking place in parallel, and the development team is prepared to adapt as needed. He emphasized that the experimental mindset is intentional, aimed at finding the most effective path for the product.
According to him, Base App will continue to experiment with new ideas in the future instead of finalizing a fixed set of features early on, in order to accurately reflect the richness of the product.
Why is there a misunderstanding about content/creator Token ?
Armstrong stated that initial promotion might give the impression that Base App is solely about content/creator Token , but in reality, this is only a part of the social feed.
He wrote that content/creator Token are not the entirety of the app, and users shouldn't consider them the defining element of a Base App. The main message is that Base Apps have multiple layers of functionality, from social to payments.
Armstrong said he always encouraged the testing team to be bold in their pursuit of success, and also called on users to submit suggestions to help the app better showcase its overall functionality.
