Coinbase invites developers to build on Base ahead of its August 9 public mainnet date

Base, Coinbase's Ethereum layer-2 network, opened a developer call for projects in tokenization, stablecoins, credit, prediction markets, institutional markets and agentic commerce. Crypto Briefing reports the public mainnet launch was set for August 9, 2026, and says the aim is to move Base from a general dApp hub toward market infrastructure. The article did not tie the call to any new revenue figure, so the effect on Coinbase's numbers is still unclear.

• Developer call covers tokenization, stablecoins, credit, prediction markets, institutional markets and agentic commerce
• Public mainnet launch date stated as August 9, 2026
• Supporting features named: B20 token standard and Flashblocks
