A coin may be backed by a basket of assets or use an algorithmic approach.<\/p>\n<p>\\n\\n\\n<\/p>\n<p>As examples, Armstrong cited Ampleforth and Truflation.<\/p>\n<p>\\n\\n\\n<\/p>\n<p>According to him, something similar is needed because people are reluctant to spend Bitcoin, and fiat-backed stablecoins \\&#8221;suffer inflation and confiscation \u2014 just like national currencies.\\&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\\n\\n\\n<\/p>\n<p>Another noteworthy concept is on-chain reputation. The term refers to a system that assigns scores to addresses or <a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/what-is-the-ethereum-name-service-ens\">ENS<\/a> based on on-chain activity.<\/p>\n<p>\\n\\n\\n<\/p>\n<p>In terms of applications, Armstrong cited lending, rating, and fraud prevention. He compared on-chain reputation to <a href=\\\"https:\/\/ru.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/PageRank\\\">PageRank \u043e\u0442 Google<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\\n\\n\\n<\/p>\n<p>Armstrong also pointed to the potential of <a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/what-is-web3\">Web3<\/a> advertising, which would be paid based on on-network activity. This would distinguish it from the Web 2.0 version, based on views or clicks. On-chain advertising could operate on smart contracts that set payments and wallets. The latter would be able to choose which videos to show, he explained.<\/p>\n<p>\\n\\n\\n<\/p>\n<p>On-chain fundraising also featured in Armstrong\u2019s list of ideas. This concept democratises fundraising, helping the next generation of ICO projects and startups raise money on the blockchain in a manner compliant with regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n<p>\\n\\n\\n<\/p>\n<p>Armstrong also expressed hope for the emergence of crypto job marketplaces and on-chain tasks. A platform could help people find work worldwide with payments in digital assets, without cross-border settlement issues.<\/p>\n<p>\\n\\n\\n<\/p>\n<p>Among other proposals:<\/p>\n<p>\\n\\n\\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\\\"wp-block-list\\\">\\n<\/p>\n<li>privacy-enhancing solutions for <a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/what-is-a-layer%e2%80%912-solution-in-blockchain\">L2<\/a>-networks such as Aztec, Polygon, and zkSync;<\/li>\n<p>\\n\\n\\n<\/p>\n<li>a fully decentralised P2P platform for exchanging cryptocurrencies for fiat and back;<\/li>\n<p>\\n\\n\\n<\/p>\n<li>on-chain games;<\/li>\n<p>\\n\\n\\n<\/p>\n<li>real-world asset tokenisation solutions such as Goldfinch and Centrifuge.<\/li>\n<p>\\n<\/ul>\n<p>\\n\\n\\n<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, Armstrong invited developers to the Coinbase Ventures summit. The executive suggested that some teams could secure funding from the venture arm.<\/p>\n<p>\\n\\n\\n<\/p>\n<p>In March, Coinbase <a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/coinbase-flags-priority-areas-for-base-ecosystem-development\">named<\/a> priority directions for developing the Base ecosystem, among which flatcoins were mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>\\n\\n\\n<\/p>\n<p>In December 2022, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin<a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/vitalik-buterin-identifies-five-exciting-vectors-for-ethereums-development\"> highlighted<\/a> five exciting vectors for the development of the ecosystem of the second-largest cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<p>\\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong outlined ten concepts with the potential to shape the future of the cryptocurrency industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":83825,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"select":"1","news_style_id":"1","cryptorium_level":"","_short_excerpt_text":"","creation_source":"","_metatest_mainpost_news_update":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[757,138,1269,1138,807,1110],"class_list":["post-83824","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-and-analysis","tag-brian-armstrong","tag-coinbase","tag-cryptocurrencies","tag-opinions","tag-stablecoins","tag-web-3-0"],"aioseo_notices":[],"amp_enabled":true,"views":"12","promo_type":"1","layout_type":"1","short_excerpt":"","is_update":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83824","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83824"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83824\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":83826,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83824\/revisions\/83826"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83825"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83824"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83824"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83824"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
