🧵 $SXS is doing something no other token has done. Enforced trading hours at the contract level. Pools open and close like traditional markets. Try to trade when it's closed and the contract says no. 🧵

As a builder on Base, I’m very motivated to prove Coinbase wrong here.
Coinbase seems intent on making a series of bets on building crypto products internal to CB proper (prediction markets, social, what’s next… NFTs?) that all would seem to naturally live on their existing super app + chain…
Base!!!
All of us betting on Base assumed that a key advantage would be that Coinbase would powerfully usher their users into a powerful super app where users could actually do things with their crypto (eg, “Check out Base, our Crypto App Store!”)
Instead, Coinbase seems to be building the equivalent of Apple Maps and Apple Calendar and Apple Weather internal to their core product, cannibalizing Base before it even launches.
In my honest opinion, Coinbase should stick to what they’re incredible at: being a clean trusted exchange and bank.
The iPhone 1 App Store is the right comp here: decentralized builders working on the same products will outcompete internal versions… even when it’s Steve Jobs.
I’m excited to help prove this thesis… Coinbase will come around :)
Be so good they can’t ignore you.
Always has been.
GLORP.
