Introduction

Coinbase Verified Pools are onchain liquidity pools designed to serve both institutional and retail participants in DeFi. These liquidity pools are gated by compliance features such as sanctions screening and KYC requirements, allowing regulated entities and individual traders to operate onchain with greater confidence and regulatory clarity.

At their core, Verified Pools are permissioned liquidity pools on Base where all users are Coinbase verified (KYC) and trade eligible. These liquidity pools are enabled by Uniswap v4, are fully non-custodial, and operate using a concentrated liquidity automated market maker (AMM). For permissioning, Verified Pools utilizes Coinbase Verifications, a set of onchain attestations registered in the Ethereum Attestation Service (EAS), as the primary credential required for access.
