According to ChainCatcher, Base co-founder Jesse Pollak announced yesterday that the Base app will undergo a strategic adjustment, shifting its focus from social features to a “transaction-first” approach, aiming to become the best trading application for the on-chain economy. Pollak pointed out that since its launch in July, user feedback has highlighted three main issues: the app is overly focused on social features, lacks support for high-quality assets, and the information feed is not comprehensive. In response, the Base app will implement three major improvements: prioritizing the development of trading features to attract capital and demand; introducing more high-quality on-chain assets; and adopting a finance-first user experience design, with social features serving as a supplementary layer to financial functions. Pollak emphasized that this will bring more capital and users to the Base ecosystem, build a globally accessible self-custody wallet, and deliver a fast and simple user experience.

According to Odaily, Jesse Pollak, co-founder of Base, stated that Base is repositioning the Base App as "trading-first" in order to drive the demand and distribution of on-chain assets and to cover a wider range of asset types. He pointed out that the goal of the Base App is to become the preferred application for users to participate in the on-chain economy, enabling them to trade, use assets, or engage in other on-chain activities all within the app.

PANews, January 15—According to an announcement shared by Base co-founder Jesse Pollak, the Base APP will undergo a strategic refocus, positioning itself with a “trade-first” core to drive demand and distribution for various assets. The official summary highlighted three points of user feedback: the app previously focused excessively on social features, had a style similar to traditional Web2, and failed to fully support users’ needs for diversified asset trading; there is a strong and widespread market demand for trading high-quality assets; and the information feed should comprehensively showcase on-chain activities, including applications, stocks, prediction markets, and social tokens. Therefore, the Base app will implement specific adjustments: it will prioritize building trading features to drive capital flow into all rapidly growing asset classes; introduce more high-quality assets on-chain; and adopt a “finance-first” user experience design, layering social features (such as copy trading, information feed trading, and leaderboards) on top of financial functions.
