Coinbase's Base Accelerator Seeks Next-Gen Crypto Builders
Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 network operated by Coinbase, has opened applications for its fourth cohort of startup accelerator programs. This initiative is specifically designed to support early-stage crypto builders focused on building projects that leverage Base as their primary development platform.
The application window is narrow, with submissions open from August 19 to September 9 at 11:59 p.m. PST. The selected teams will receive a $100K investment from the Base Ecosystem Fund and participate in an eight-week virtual program.
Base Batches targets founders who are building projects that anchor their primary development efforts on Coinbase's L2, rather than those treating Base as one of multiple chains they might deploy on. Ideal applicants are typically at a pre-seed or earlier stage, with a working prototype but no formal seed round closed yet.
The accelerator program is particularly interested in sectors related to trading, payments, and asset issuance, indicating Coinbase's vision for the L2's future growth areas.
