Common Protocol: Building Programmable Communities
At its core, Common aims to provide the infrastructure for building programmable on-chain communities. The Common Protocol facilitates “loops,” essentially automated markets for actions. This allows creators and communities to design incentives for activities such as workstreams, governance, token launches, and general engagement. By integrating with platforms like Uniswap and Farcaster, Common lowers the barriers to token creation, coordination, and liquidity.
The veCOMMON governance model aims to align incentives, empowering communities to sustainably grow and self-organise. This is crucial in a space often plagued by short-term thinking and misaligned objectives.
Bitget’s UEX Vision
Bitget’s Universal Exchange (UEX) strategy centres around providing a single platform for users to access a vast array of digital assets. By combining traditional exchange infrastructure with on-chain access, Bitget hopes to offer a more seamless experience for trading and discovering new tokens. Bitget’s Launchpool seeks to highlight projects with sound fundamentals, clear utility, and strong community support, filtering the noise from the burgeoning on-chain landscape. This curation, according to Bitget, ensures users have access to both breadth and quality: broad market access alongside curated opportunities.
The addition of Common (COMMON) to Bitget’s roster strengthens the exchange’s commitment to supporting on-chain community infrastructure and programmable governance. This could empower DAOs, creators, and other projects to design sustainable and incentive-aligned ecosystems within the UEX framework.
Bitget: A Universal Exchange?
Founded in 2018, Bitget claims to serve over 120 million users, offering access to millions of crypto tokens, tokenized stocks, ETFs, and other real-world assets. The platform emphasizes AI-powered trading tools and interoperability between tokens across various blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain.
On the decentralised side, Bitget Wallet supports over 130 blockchains and millions of tokens, offering multi-chain trading, staking, payments, and direct access to DApps. Strategic partnerships, such as being the Official Crypto Partner of LALIGA in EASTERN, SEA and LATAM markets, further solidify Bitget’s presence.
Bitget is also partnering with UNICEF to support blockchain education for 1.1 million people by 2027. Furthermore, the exchange is the exclusive cryptocurrency exchange partner of MotoGP™, reflecting its commitment to brand visibility.
Looking Ahead
The listing of Common (COMMON) on Bitget is not just another exchange listing. It represents a deliberate move to integrate on-chain community-building tools into a centralised exchange environment. Whether this hybrid approach will be successful remains to be seen, but it undoubtedly signals a potential direction for the evolution of crypto exchanges. As we move further into 2025, expect to see more platforms experimenting with similar integrations, blurring the lines between centralised and decentralised finance.
