Coinbase's announcement to not support the Celo blockchain migration has sparked dissatisfaction within the community

ChainCatcher news, Coinbase stated that the Celo L1 blockchain (Coinbase code: CGLD) will migrate to Celo L2 on January 16, 2025. Coinbase will not support the migration, and customers must withdraw CGLD from Coinbase by January 13, 2025, to prevent their funds from becoming inaccessible.

This move has sparked dissatisfaction within the community. cLabs CEO Marek Olszewski stated, "This feels like a hindrance to the Ethereum-centric Layer 2 scaling roadmap. Has the hard fork caused controversy? How should the Celo community respond? Celo Layer 1 validators can choose to retain the current Layer 1 chain and rename it to Celo Gold (CGLD) to make life easier for Coinbase and its users. Fortunately, Coinbase is already using this code, so CGLD could become a Memecoin."
