On July 15, Coinbase Wallet officially previewed a "major update" to be released the next day. Previously, Jesse Pollak, co-founder of the Base chain, also spoke on the X platform, stating that there would be an important announcement on July 16, which may mark a significant upgrade for the Coinbase Wallet product.
Recently, Coinbase has been undergoing a deep strategic restructuring around the Base chain, no longer satisfied with being merely a "cryptocurrency asset management tool," but actively transforming into an "on-chain super portal" that integrates social relationships, transaction execution, content distribution, and offline consumption. The embedded MiniApp system and application recommendation mechanism within the wallet are gradually evolving into a project cold starter and traffic hub for the Base ecosystem, making the wallet the first stop for users to discover new projects, while also creating a closed-loop ecosystem of "payment, social, trading, and consumption" for Coinbase.
In addition, Coinbase's acquisition of several traditional tech companies earlier this year is paving the way for this ecological landscape. This Wallet update is likely to be a concentrated release of traffic and functionality, and it is expected to bring a new round of user growth and capital injection to the Base chain. Against this backdrop, this article will review potential targets worth laying out in the Base ecosystem.

Aero: The Revolution of MetaDEX
Aerodrome combines the best features of previous DEXs: it employs a token economic model inspired by Curve and Convex to optimize governance and token distribution, as well as a Uni v3-style concentrated automated market maker for efficient capital exchange. These features provide solutions for aligning the incentive mechanisms of various stakeholders, making Aerodrome the preferred trading venue for users.
Coinbase Ventures is an active participant in Aerodrome governance, voting to direct AERO token distribution to the cbBTC liquidity pool, further solidifying Aerodrome's market dominance. This also reaffirms the close connection between Aerodrome, Base, and Coinbase, positioning the protocol as a cornerstone financial infrastructure for Base L2.
Thanks to the user growth dividend from the Base chain, Aerodrome's usage has continued to rise. Data shows that the platform's TVL has rebounded from $300 million in April to the current $530 million, with protocol revenue also leading steadily, reaching $580,000 in 24-hour revenue, consistently ranking at the top of the Base chain. The update has increased the activity level of the Base ecosystem, bringing new growth for Aero.
Clanker: A Launchpad for Everyone to Issue Tokens
Clanker is a self-service platform based on the Base blockchain, with its core function being to help users deploy ERC-20 standard tokens. Users simply need to tag @clanker on the social platform Farcaster and provide relevant token information (such as name, code, and image), and Clanker will complete the token creation, liquidity pool setup, and liquidity locking. The entire process requires no complex technical knowledge from users, truly achieving "anyone can issue tokens."
Recently, Clanker upgraded to version V4, fully integrating Uniswap v4 and exclusive extended features, becoming the most flexible meme launch infrastructure currently available. The new version offers a more customizable deployment experience—including dynamic/static fees, configurable fee collection token mechanisms, and creator-priority "sniping auction" MEV modules—enhancing the freedom of token deployment while significantly optimizing user experience and creator revenue pathways.
Currently, Clanker protocol's monthly revenue has exceeded $350,000, with cumulative profits surpassing $30 million, far exceeding most similar platforms, yet its market valuation remains relatively low. With the implementation of the V4 protocol and the gradual rollout of revenue sharing, staking, governance, and other mechanisms, Clanker is expected to become the "king of launchpads" for meme issuance on the Base chain.
Mamo: The "On-Chain Pocket Money" of Coinbase Wallet
In the past two weeks, $MAMO has surged fourfold, with an FDV exceeding $100 million, becoming one of the most notable new stars on the Base chain. Mamo is hailed as the "pocket money" of Coinbase Wallet, focusing on "automated compound mining." Users only need to deposit assets into the wallet, and the system will intelligently allocate them to high-quality strategy pools for mining in the background, with an annual yield of up to 7%. No manual operation is required, and earnings are compounded daily, achieving true on-chain "passive income."
The producer behind it, Moonwell, is a "regular army" backed by Coinbase, so the surge of $MAMO can be seen as a well-planned move.
Byte: An AI Wallet for Self-Service Ordering
Byte is reshaping the boundary between crypto payments and real-world consumption. Users only need to say a sentence, and the AI will automatically select a restaurant, place an order, and complete the payment, all without any clicks. It not only connects cryptocurrency with real merchants' payment paths but is also the world's first POS system integration solution capable of achieving "AI automatic checkout."
Jesse Pollak, co-founder of Base, even personally tweeted to order takeout in support, endorsing Byte's practical implementation. As more dining brands come on board and AI agent trading becomes widespread, Byte is expected to become the foundational payment layer of the AI business era, expanding into e-commerce, subscriptions, and offline services, and taking the lead in laying out the "AI wallet" entry for the next decade.
Conclusion
Today, Coinbase Wallet is rapidly evolving into an on-chain super application: it not only connects social (Farcaster), payment (Byte ordering), and short video content consumption scenarios but also integrates features like automated wealth management (Mamo), serving as a one-stop solution for users' on-chain daily activities. This leap from a "trading tool" to a "lifestyle entry point" signifies that Coinbase is undergoing a full-stack ecological reconstruction around the Base chain, betting on the next growth paradigm of Web3.
As the major update on July 16 approaches, this product-level upgrade is expected to break the traditional boundaries of exchanges, bringing stronger user guidance and liquidity increments to Base, further solidifying its leading position in the on-chain application ecosystem.
