What’s Next for Base According to a Base Builder
Luke Youngblood weighs in on the future Base token, Mamo, Moonwell, and Coinbase’s expanding vision for bringing the world onchain

Base has established itself as not only a top Ethereum L2 but also one of the most vibrant builder ecosystems in crypto, backed by one of the largest crypto exchanges in the world, Coinbase.
Just yesterday, Coinbase rolled out a “DeFi mullet” style product for their exchange customers where you lend USDC and earn 10% APY onchain, thanks to a curated lending and borrowing market on Morpho by Steakhouse Financial, all running on Base. It’s proof of a grander vision Coinbase has been building towards for years, using its massive distribution to introduce millions of its customers to real DeFi opportunities but from the comfort of the Coinbase retail app.
Lend USDC. Earn up to 10%.
Now live in all launch markets.

There’s so much more we still want to know about Base, so we invited a Coinbase alum who’s been at the forefront of building on the popular L2 since launch, Luke Youngblood, Founder of Moonwell and Mamo.
In a new episode of The Edge Podcast, Luke breaks down Coinbase’s long-term vision for their flagship L2 Base, the implications of a future Base token, and how this will all benefit Base projects like Moonwell and Mamo pushing the boundaries of what’s possible onchain. Plus, we get a detailed look at the latest updates from Moonwell and how they’ve engineered Mamo to be the most advanced personal finance AI agent to help you track, grow, and understand your money, step by step, without any stress.
