Preview
- Coinbase will soon launch a new smart wallet solution. With its own L2 - Base - growing in popularity, Coinbase aims to onboard a new wave of crypto users.
- Fungi is an on-chain art project introducing the new ERC-20i token standard, enabling unique and dynamic token inscriptions similar to Bitcoin Ordinals. The inscriptions resemble NFT art but have infinite fungibility.
- Fungi and ERC20i represent a significant merging of memecoins and NFT art to produce a unique product. The tech is in its infancy, and we expect the applications to grow as the cycle continues.
- Launching on Base, Fungi and ERC20i more broadly have major potential if Coinbase can continue to onboard more users to the crypto ecosystem.
