Clear differentiation between apps is important Explaining Coinbase vs Coinbase Wallet can already be pretty confusing as it is

Base Wallet for sure Putting app in the name feels boomer

Base App will lead to more confusion (e.g. oh I can use it for Bitcoin & SOL too?) and creates an impression of a Base/ETH only product

i think it’s more about the confusion around the main cb app and the wallet app i’ve had to explain to so many friends who are doing onchain stuff for the first time

kind of agree it makes it easier but coinbase wallet nowadays allows to operate on multiple chains if it becomes base app maybe it should include only base?

When I'm onboarding friends, they assume Coinbase = Coinbase wallet. So they get 2x more confused. I think Base App or Base Wallet would be a great name since it is gonna be the universal interface for the onchain economy 😉

+1 to a Base oriented rebrand (after fixing more of its flaws and making it more performant) but not sure "Base App" is the way to go.

Keep Coinbase Wallet for now, roll out new features this year / FC client, then figure out the rebrand based on how that roll out goes

Seems to imply an app limited to a specific eth layer 2. If coinbase wallet will still let me transact on other chains it will be confusing

To me it makes sense from all angles: 1. Returning CBW users - The app is changing so significantly (social, apps, robust messaging) that a name change will actually help them reconceptualize. And learn what "Base" is. 2. Net-new users - They are likely coming bc of non-wallet functionality, or else they'd already be using. So call it what it is :) 3. App builders - When I am explaining to people about the future trajectory of /bracket and Bracky and I'm like "soon we are going to be featured on Coinbase Wallet!" it really feels like a dud. Like... so what?But if I could say "soon we are going to be featured on the Base app" that sounds hype af.

the distinction between coinbase & coinbase wallet has always been extremely confusing for people. I think calling it Base Wallet / app makes a ton of sense. Only confusion might be that people would think it *only* works on base

makes way more sense to have a “Base Wallet” or “Base App” if i’m onchain using Base it’s kinda the same thing we ran into with warpcast vs farcaster. if you have to explain the name, it’s already friction. “Base App” is just clear

Coinbase Wallet is confusing to me at the jump as someone with a Coinbase account. Base Wallet makes more sense IMO. Feels more like a hot wallet.

i like it coinbase to base: 1. less confusion as to why there are two “coinbase” apps 2. base can be seen for what it is, a new economy, that’s not a knock on coinbase app, it’s just that what u do on each of them will continue to look more fundamentally different wallet to app: 1. hell yeah, i think we’re finally moving away from just “defi” use cases (wallet made sense), to a broader economy, new internet era, where u can do so much more than what a “wallet” can do - much easier to explain downloading an “app” that has social and financial features, versus downloading a “wallet” that has social and financial features

big fan bc (1) eliminates the word wallet and (2) with FC-integration incl. mini apps it becomes the Base App (of web3, the next instantiation of the internet)
