“Coinbas does not have ‘full control’ over Base and cannot unilaterally upgrade contracts or land invalid output proposals,” Pollak stated. Moreover, Pollak referred to that permissionless nature as a vital aspect of the entire project and crucial to its release.
“That [inability to unilaterally upgrade contracts] was non-negotiable for our public launch and reflects our commitment to ensuring Base remains open, permissionless, and decentralized,” Pollak remarked. However, he notes that “current system upgradeability and challenging authorizations are still persmissioned,” likening it to other rollup blockchains.
