Coinbase has acquired Spindl, an on-chain advertising and attribution platform, to enhance the discovery and growth of projects on its Ethereum layer-2 network, Base. Spindl, founded by a key contributor to Facebook’s original ad platform, aims to replicate the success of viral marketing but in an on-chain environment using smart contracts. The acquisition aligns with Coinbase’s broader strategy to improve advertising attribution, help builders reach their target audience, and potentially explore tokenized assets in the future.
