BlockBeats News, April 20th, Base Protocol lead Jesse Pollak apologized for a previous tweet containing inappropriate phrases such as "Base is for pimping." He stated, "The phrase was created by a creator I wanted to support (not myself or Base Marketing). It is just one of many phrases, but I acknowledge it was a mistake and apologize for it. I wholeheartedly support artists fearlessly creating on Base and also support provocative art. However, the information I share is also important, especially when it appears and feels like information coming directly from me. I will continue to try, but sometimes I will make mistakes. I will admit mistakes, learn from them, and find ways to do better next time."
