Making economic freedom attainable for everyone is Coinbase’s vision — and by making creator economy more accessible, it’s doing just that. The platform is set to be a Web3 peer-to-peer social platform emphasizing “collecting, creating, and connecting” NFT communities. The platform's beta version is Ethereum-based and available to US residents starting April 20th, 2022, with first access granted to those on the waitlist. Once testing completes, the platform will become accessible to users worldwide. Users will be able to create their profile featuring their created or collected NFTs, follow other profiles, and comment on NFTs from other users on the platform. The platform features a wide range of brands like Doodles, [Azuki](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nifty-island), and TIME Pieces.
