Delegate Statement

ENS name: coinbase.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate:

This is an application representing Coinbase, Inc. as an organization.

Coinbase’s mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. We aspire to offer a trusted and easy-to-use platform for accessing the crypto ecosystem, and to help people around the world discover and begin their crypto journeys.

To increase economic freedom, the crypto ecosystem must flourish. While crypto is rapidly evolving towards this future, it’s also fragmented. Accessibility and trust is a challenge, and this is exacerbated by the lack of a consistent identity standard. The ecosystem needs a robust and decentralized identity standard, and we believe that Ethereum and ENS can address this need.

Coinbase is the single largest employer of crypto talent in the world. We’ve helped launch and scale numerous protocols, including USDC, and we’ll bring our deep collective expertise to the table with the goal of helping ENS and the crypto ecosystem flourish.

My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution 644:

Name ownership is an absolute right: Agree
Registration fees exist as an incentive mechanism: Agree
Income funds ENS and other public goods: Agree
ENS Integrates with the global namespace: Agree

My web3 qualifications / skills:

Coinbase has some of the strongest crypto talent in the world across engineering, design, cryptography, product, and more. Our world-class identity team is focused on defining and building leading identity standards for the benefit of the broader crypto ecosystem.
