Echo: Democratizing Early-Stage Crypto Investments On-Chain

Echo is an innovative on-chain fundraising platform that empowers everyday investors to participate in early-stage crypto projects with full transparency and compliance. Recently acquired by Coinbase in a $375 million deal, Echo integrates its community-driven model into a major global exchange, signaling a shift toward open, blockchain-based capital formation.

Founded by Jordan Fish (known as @Cobie), Echo uses smart contracts to handle allocations, vesting, and settlements automatically — all powered by USDC on Base. This setup levels the playing field, allowing verified investors to access opportunities previously reserved for venture capitalists.


Key Benefits for Investors

  • Transparency First: Every detail of deals — from allocations to vesting schedules — is visible and enforced on-chain.
  • Reusability: Build one verified investor profile usable across all Echo sales via the Sonar framework.
  • Compliance Built-In: KYC and regulatory checks ensure secure, legitimate participation without compromising accessibility.
  • Early Access: Join curated investor groups for priority in high-potential projects like Ethena Labs, home of the USDe synthetic dollar.
  • Seamless Funding: Deposit USDC directly on Base, with easy bridging options for other networks.
