Coinbase-backed Base App has officially gone live in more than 140 countries, marking a major step in the company’s strategy to bring social-first cryptocurrency tools to a global mainstream audience.
The launch follows the app’s exit from a lengthy waitlist period and reflects growing momentum behind consumer-focused blockchain applications.
Base is built on Coinbase’s Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH) Layer 2 network and is designed as an all-in-one onchain platform combining social interaction, trading, payments and earning features.
The app became publicly available on December 17, opening access to users across multiple regions as Coinbase accelerates international expansion.
Coinbase chief executive Brian Armstrong highlighted the scale of the rollout in a post on X following the launch.
The Base app had about 1.5M people on the waitlist. Now it’s live in 140+ countries. Time to start baseposting, Brian Armstrong said.
The Base App aims to merge social engagement and financial activity by allowing users to discover creators, track trending tokens and follow real-time trading activity within a single interface.
