Grow, an early-stage investment application, has integrated real yield capabilities for multiple currencies on Base, the Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain built by Coinbase, allowing users to earn returns without first funneling everything into a single US dollar-pegged stablecoin.
What Grow is actually building
The core pitch is straightforward: earn yield on various fiat and stablecoin currencies directly, without the mandatory pit stop at USDC. For someone holding Argentine pesos, Brazilian reais, or Japanese yen, this is a meaningful distinction. The traditional DeFi path forces a double conversion, local currency to stablecoin and back again, eating into returns and adding friction at both ends.
Grow positions itself as a “better way to invest” and is building on Base. The project is still in its early stages, describing itself as “coming soon” and carrying a modest social media footprint. Base founder Jesse Pollak publicly endorsed the project on X, tagging both the Grow account (@get_grow_app) and Michael Horenstein (@michorenstein), who appears to be the project’s founder or lead.
