Coinbase距离病毒纪念因子的基本区块链促进了自身距离

该代币在推出后不久就达到了1700万美元的市场价值，在Zora上创建了一个平台，该平台可以将社交媒体帖子变成可交易的代币。

Coinbase has distanced itself from a viral memecoin that was promoted by its affiliated Base blockchain on Wednesday after harsh criticism.

Coinbase与一个病毒式纪念物相距甚远，后者在严厉的批评后于周三由其附属的基本区块链提倡。

The token, which soared to a $17 million market value shortly after it launched, was created on Zora, a platform where users can turn social media posts into tradable tokens.

该代币在推出后不久就达到了1700万美元的市场价值，在Zora上创建了一个平台，该平台可以将社交媒体帖子变成可交易的代币。

At 8:12pm UK time, the Base X account posted a picture with the words, “Base is for everyone.”

英国时间晚上8:12，基本X帐户发布了一张图片，上面写着“基础适合所有人”。

The post was quickly followed by another. “Coined it,” the account said, accompanied by a link to Zora where users could purchase a token based on the post.

帖子很快被另一个帖子。帐户说：“创造了它，”伴随着指向Zora的链接，用户可以根据帖子购买令牌。

“Base did not launch a token, this is not an official Base token, and Base did not sell this token,” a spokesperson for Coinbase told DL News. “Base posted on Zora, which automatically tokenises content.”

Coinbase发言人告诉DL News：“基本没有启动令牌，这不是官方的基础令牌，也没有出售该令牌。” “基地发布在Zora上，该Zora会自动象征内容。”

Creator fees

创建者费用

Base is a blockchain launched by Coinbase in 2023. It offers faster and cheaper transactions than Ethereum, and has generated some $120 million in revenue for the company.

Base是Coinbase于2023年推出的区块链。它提供的交易速度比以太坊更快，更便宜，并为该公司带来了约1.2亿美元的收入。

So far, Base has earned $75,000 in creator fees from the token. Creators on Zora earn rewards from trading activity on tokens they create. Rewards are a percentage of the Ether spent from trading.

到目前为止，Base已从代币中获得了75,000美元的创造者费用。 Zora的创作者从创建的代币中获得的交易活动获得了奖励。奖励是交易中花费的百分比。

Users have long speculated that the Base could launch a token, as so many other similar blockchains have done. So when they saw the post from the official Base X account, they piled in.

长期以来，用户一直猜测基地可以推出令牌，就像许多其他类似的区块链所做的那样。因此，当他们从官方X官方X帐户中看到帖子时，他们就堆积在进行中。

Onchain records show a small number of users bought up large swathes of the token early on and later offloaded them at a substantial profit, crashing the token’s value 90% in minutes.

OnChain记录显示，少数用户早些时候就购买了大量令牌，然后以可观的利润将其卸载，在几分钟内将令牌的价值崩溃了90％。

“This is deeply disappointing,” Suhail Kakar, a blockchain developer, said on X. “You knew the hype. You knew what would happen. And you knew people would get hurt.”

区块链开发人员Suhail Kakar在X上说：“这令人非常失望。您知道炒作。您知道会发生什么。您知道人们会受伤。”

The token has since recovered and trades around the same value it did before the crash.

此后，令牌已经恢复并进行了与坠机前相同价值的交易。

Many have branded the move as Base taking advantage of the hype surrounding memecoins — tokens based on viral social media posts or celebrities that trade mostly on their popularity.

许多人将这一举动称为基础，以利用围绕Memecoins的炒作的优势 - 基于病毒式社交媒体帖子或主要以其受欢迎程度进行交易的名人的代币。

Memecoins have faced heavy criticism in recent months because of their high volatility, similarity to gambling, and predatory practices of many who launch them.

近几个月中，Memecoin因其高波动性，与赌博的相似性以及许多人的掠夺性做法而面临严重的批评。

Not a memecoin

不是成人

Jesse Pollak, head of the Base blockchain and Coinbase’s crypto wallet, has defended Base’s move.

基本区块链和Coinbase的加密钱包负责人杰西·波拉克（Jesse Pollak）为基地的举动辩护。

Pollak characterised the token not as a memecoin, but as a so-called content coin, because it represents a single piece of content and was created through Zora.

Pollak将代币的特征性特征在于，而不是作为模因，而是所谓的内容硬币，因为它代表了一块内容，并且是通过Zora创建的。

“Content coins are explicitly created in a context where it’s a repeat behavior. This is incredibly powerful and freeing, but it also should lead to a different valuation model,” he said.

他说：“内容硬币是在重复行为的上下文中明确创建的。这是非常强大且自由的，但也应该导致不同的估值模型。”

“If you try to trade a content coin like a memecoin, you’re going to have a bad time.”

“如果您尝试像Memecoin这样的内容硬币交易，那么您将度过糟糕的时光。”

To be sure, there are those who don’t mind Base’s content coin experiment.

可以肯定的是，有些人不介意Base的内容硬币实验。

“Base launching tokens is fine,” Gabriel Shapiro, a crypto lawyer, said on X. “I actually think normalising just launching tokens for lulz is a service and crypto X is extremely inconsistent on the ‘ethics' of this stuff.”

加密律师加布里埃尔·夏皮罗（Gabriel Shapiro）在X上说：“基本发射代币很好。”“我认为仅仅为lulz推出代币的标记是一种服务，而加密X X的范围非常不一致，这对这些东西的“伦理”非常不一致。”

Yet many also say the firm should have known better. They argue that traders are treating the token as a vehicle for speculation — like a memecoin — and that framing it as a content coin is little more than a semantic difference.

然而，许多人还说该公司应该更了解。他们认为，贸易商将令牌视为猜测的工具，例如成人，而将其作为内容硬币构架仅仅是语义差异。

“Normalise your literal mom and pops throwing money at every picture they see so maybe they can catch a viral one and make some money? Nah this ain’t it chief,” said Kirlulu, a pseudonymous blockchain developer.

假名的区块链开发人员Kirlulu说：“将您的字面意思和流行音乐扔在他们看到的每张照片上，也许他们可以抓住病毒式的钱并赚钱？不，这不是首领。”

“You’re not normalising onchain culture,” Kakar said. “You’re cheapening it.”

卡卡尔说：“您不会使OnChain文化正常化。” “您正在廉价。”
