On March 18, 2025, Coinbase has
launched Verified Pools in select regions to make on-chain liquidity more
transparent and secure.
What Are Verified Pools?
Verified Pools are special liquidity
pools that only verified users can access. These pools allow people to trade
digital assets safely without intermediaries.
Users in the U.S., Singapore,
Netherlands, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, and Channel Islands can
use them.
How Verified Pools Work?
- Verified Users Only: Users
must be verified through Coinbase to access these pools.
- Supported Wallets: You can connect using
Prime Onchain Wallet, Coinbase Wallet, or any other wallet with a Coinbase
Verification credential.
- Increased Transparency: Unlike
traditional liquidity pools, where it's unclear who is providing funds,
Verified Pools ensure that all participants are known and verified.
Built on Advanced Technology
- Base Layer 2: Verified Pools run on Coinbase’s
Base network for faster and cheaper transactions.
- Uniswap v4 Protocol: This
technology enables customized smart contracts.
- Risk Management by Gauntlet: Ensures
optimized liquidity and reduced risk.

everyone.
