The creator of the Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain base, Jesse Pollak, apologized following the backlash of posting digital artwork controversial played on the base tagline, “Base is for everyone.”
Many social media users have found artwork that is offensive and inappropriate.
“It’s a single phrase to many, but I feel it is a mistake and apologize,” Pollak Says In an April 18 X post refers to his decision to reinstate an image of the GIF featuring the phrase “base is for …” Following a spinning word -following words, along with the same controversial terms such as “pimping” and “squirting,” as well as neutrals such as “art,” “minting,” and “ideas.
Pollak says he appreciates “Provocative Art”
Pollak emphasized that the artwork was made by a creator, not to him, and to apologize to the image that features the phrase “base is for the pimp.”
Pollak said that while he wanted to support artists who were building the base and admitted that he appreciated “provocative art,” he recognized the need to remember his shared messages, especially when they appeared directly from him.
It came after criticism from many participants in the crypto industry that brought to social media to express their failure to endorse the poll.
Crypto commentator “Kristel” Says In an April 18 X post, “So are we casually platforming pimping now?” “I bring boundaries, but not,” he said.
“It’s not provocative and ‘Edgy,” he added. Founder of corner labs Says This is a “full nightmare in PR.”
Meanwhile, Crypto commentator David Z. Morris Says It’s “not only hurting the base, crypto hurts.” Morris added:
“The specific allusion to sex trafficking (not” sex work, “pimping is a relatively starting exploitation) is particularly bad for a sector who needs to advance the narrative that open finance is a net social positive.”
However, many praised the poll for apology and his ongoing efforts to push boundaries to the crypto industry. “Loyalty -liked. We all make mistakes, but it’s about how we grow from them,” Crypto commentator Zuri Says.

The base was at the center of controversy only days ago when the official X account shared a post that promotes A Memecoin with its marketing tagline“The base is for everyone.”

A Coinbase speaker has turned away Base From the token, which tells Cointelegraph on April 17, “The base has not launched a token.” “This is not an official base token, and the base does not sell this token. The base posted to Zora, which automatically tokenize the content,” the speaker said.
