Coinbase's Ethereum Layer 2 project, Base, is hiring a token and governance research specialist to develop its token strategy and governance roadmap. The position aims to formalize plans for decentralization and community engagement as part of Base's growth strategy.

Base, the layer-2 blockchain developed by Coinbase, is exploring the possibility of issuing a native token, as announced by creator Jesse Pollak at the BaseCamp event. The plans are in early stages, with the token intended to be built on Ethereum and compliant with regulatory standards. Since its launch in 2023, Base has achieved significant user activity and a total value locked of $5 billion, positioning it as a leading layer-2 network.
