Base’s Jesse Pollak Advocates for On-Chain Creator Coin Index Amid Growing Institutional Interest

Jesse Pollak, a key figure at Base, has sparked a conversation about the financial infrastructure needed to support the burgeoning on-chain creator economy. His call to action, shared via social media platform X, challenges investment funds to take a pioneering position in an index of on-chain creator coins. Pollak suggests a $5 million commitment as a starting point, highlighting the potential for growth in this emerging sector.

The discussion reflects broader institutional and political interest in the on-chain economy. Pollak’s proposal mirrors traditional investment frameworks, such as on-chain US treasuries and the S&P 500’s integration with Avalanche via Centrifuge. However, the focus here shifts to individual content creators who tokenize their influence or output.

OctaneAI CEO Matt Schlicht quickly engaged with Pollak’s post, inquiring about the practical steps to launch such an initiative. Pollak responded with a strategy involving targeted allocation based on creator potential, audience engagement, and content quality, coupled with tooling to identify and invest in new creators early.
