Coinbase Is Adding DeFi Apps UniSwap and Aave to Its Base Blockchain

Coinbase is busy bringing decentralized finance (DeFi) applications UniSwap and Aave to Base, the U.S.-listed exchange’s layer 2 (L2) network that was launched last month.

Coinbase’s Base L2 is built using the Ethereum scaling protocol Optimism, and uses Ethereum’s native cryptocurrency ETH for fees on the network.

UniSwap will probably appear on Base within a couple of months, the person added.

Decentralized apps have held up well amid the turmoil that is currently afflicting the crypto industry. While Coinbase is among the largest and most influential of the centralized crypto trading platforms, the firm clearly understands the value attached to ecosystems, hence the drive to incubate a decentralized blockchain network.

UniSwap is also going to be connected to the BNB Chain platform, launched by crypto exchange Binance, according to a recent governance vote.

    According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, with last night's decline, the ETH/BTC exchange rate fell to a minimum of 0.047. Six hours ago, a whale who has been longing for the ETH/BTC exchange rate since March 2023 experienced liquidation again as the health rate of the loan in Aave fell below 1, and liquidated 2701 ETH (worth about 8.74 million US dollars) to repay the 123.7 WBTC loan.

  • Backup your life with the blockchain

    Growing up my family was always moving homes. I've never had somewhere I could really call my own. Like many other people whose families have rented home to home their entire lives, you soon realise how much of a hassle it is to have a lot of belongings. It's why I prefer to throw away a lot of my keepsakes or momentos and while it's nice to be able to look back at something that reminds you of a former time in your life. It soon starts getting impractical. There's no possible way you can hold on to every keepsake you accumulate in your life. You might have visions of sharing some of your favourite memories with your grandkids but most of the time those old drawings, trophies, shirts or whatever other item you find valuable soon get eaten away by the cruel nature of time.

    Big Tech killed the internet — blockchains can help revive it

    The early internet was a magical place because it was driven by people and their creativity. Builders knew that whatever they made, they owned — a simple promise that established the right incentives for the technology to flourish. But now, the internet is stagnating and it’s harder than ever for new apps to break through.
