Coinbase verifications issues public onchain attestations about you that may persist even after revocation
Coinbase verifications uses the Ethereum Attestation Service to issue Coinbase-verified onchain attestations about individual customers, which eligible customers can use to help establish identity and reputation with certain decentralized applications. An attestation issued to you is stored onchain, so it is public and viewable by anyone. If you do not want to share that personal information publicly, do not use the service. After issuance, a record of the attestation may persist in the Ethereum Attestation Service even if you revoke it through your Coinbase account.
Supporting quotations
“Coinbase verifications” is a service that leverages the Ethereum Attestation Service to enable the issuance of Coinbase-verified, onchain attestations against predefined schemas relating to individual Coinbase customers (each, a “Coinbase Attestation”).
These onchain attestations may be used by eligible Coinbase customers to help establish identity and reputation when interacting with certain decentralized applications onchain.
A Coinbase Attestation issued to you will be stored onchain, and therefore will be public and viewable by anyone.

Once a Coinbase Attestation has been issued to you, a record of the attestation may persist in the Ethereum Attestation Service even if you revoke the Coinbase Attestation
