Tokenization gets a lot of attention, but i think the less discussed part is the infrastructure underneath it.

Before more real world asset can move onchain, builders need standards that make asset creation easier without forcing every project to reinvent the same basic components.

Thats why I have been looking more closely at B20 and the direction Base is taking with tokenization.

What interests me isn't the idea of launching more tokens.

Its the possibility of giving developers better building blocks for different types of onchain assets and applications.

If the tooling improves, we could potentially see more experimentation around

• Real world asset applications
• Stablecoin based products
• Creator and community assets
• Loyalty and reward systems
• Onchain financial tools
• New asset specific use cases

The bigger question for me is whether better token standards can reduce complexity for developers while still keeping the experience compatible with the broader EVM ecosystem.

Because in the long run, tokenization probably wont scale just because more assets are issued. It will scale if developers can build useful products around those assets without creating fragmented experiences for users.

I am curious what others think

What matters most for the next generation of tokenization on Base better developer tooling, lower costs, stronger compliance support, improved interoperability, or something else?

Yesterday, we had another insightful session with the Base community as we explored -Midas on Base - Bringing Institutional Investment Products On chain.

One of the biggest takeaways from the discussion was that tokenization alone is not enough. Bringing assets on chain is only the beginning. The real opportunity comes when those assets become liquid, transparent, composable and easy to integrate across the broader on chain economy.

We discussed how many tokenized investment products still operate in closed environments, limiting their usefulness despite being on chain. For institutional finance to truly evolve, these products need to interact seamlessly with De Fi rather than remain isolated.

That led us to Midas and its vision of creating programmable investment products through its Open Liquidity Architecture. Instead of simply issuing tokenized assets, Midas enables professional asset managers to launch composable m Tokens that combine institutional grade portfolio management with instant redemptions, transparent reporting and native De Fi compatibility. ( DYOR)

We also explored why this matters for the Base ecosystem. As Base continues attracting builders, institutions, and real world assets, infrastructure like Midas helps bridge traditional asset management with permissionless finance. It opens the door for professionally managed capital to become an active participant in the on chain economy instead of remaining locked behind traditional financial rails.

Perhaps the most exciting part of the conversation was imagining what comes next. If investment products become fully programmable, developers won't just build applications around tokens they will build entirely new financial experiences around professionally managed portfolios. That represents a significant step toward more open, efficient and composable capital markets on Base.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined the Space, shared thoughtful questions, and contributed to another engaging discussion. Your participation is what keeps this daily exploration growing stronger and we are grateful to every speaker, listener and community member who continues to support this journey.

Join us again tonight for Day 79 of our Daily Base Ecosystem Exploration Series! 17:30 UTC

See you all tonight , Stay Based .

Over the past few weeks, we have explored incredible innovations across the Base ecosystem - Base MCP, x402, Bankr, Virtuals Protocol, ERC-8183, bunny OS, and many more. Each project solves a different challenge, but yesterday we focused on something even bigger -

How all these pieces come together to build a sustainable on chain economy for AI agents.

One of the biggest takeaways from the discussion - was that building intelligent AI agents is only the first step. Intelligence alone is not enough if agents can not participate in a real economy.

For an autonomous ecosystem to thrive, agents need the ability to discover opportunities, transact securely, earn revenue, coordinate with other agents, and continue operating with minimal human intervention. That requires a strong commerce infrastructure - not just smarter AI.

We also discussed why commerce infrastructure may become one of the most important foundations of the agentic economy. Protocols like Virtuals Protocol are helping create programmable AI economies, while Bankr is making on chain financial interactions easier and more accessible for both users and agents. Together, these projects contribute to a much larger economic flywheel where agents can create value, exchange value and sustain themselves over time. (DYOR)

Another important point was the difference between short term excitement and long term sustainability. Hype may attract attention, but sustainable revenue models are what allow ecosystems to continue growing. The future belongs to projects that enable real economic activity rather than temporary speculation.

Perhaps the most exciting realization from yesterday's conversation was that Base has not simply been launching isolated AI projects. It has been quietly assembling the infrastructure layer needed for autonomous commerce - bringing together identity, payments, coordination, execution, and economic incentives into one connected ecosystem.

Every project we have covered over the past several weeks represents another building block toward that vision. When viewed individually they are impressive, but together they reveal something much bigger, an open, on chain economy where AI agents can become productive economic participants.

A massive thank you to everyone who joined Day 77, contributed to the discussion, asked thoughtful questions and continues supporting this daily learning journey. Your consistent participation is what keeps this community growing stronger every single day.

Yesterday we had another insightful discussion with our amazing Base community as we explored -

Mamo on Base - Rethinking Personal Finance for the On chain Era.

One of the biggest takeaways from the conversation was that the future of on chain finance is not just about offering more features - its about making finance easier, smarter and more accessible for everyone.

We discussed how many users do not want to spend hours every day managing positions, switching protocols, or constantly chasing the highest yields. Instead, they want financial systems that quietly work in the background while they stay in full control of their assets.

Thats exactly where Mamo brings a fresh perspective.

Mamo focuses on automation. From lending and reward conversion to automatic compounding, it helps users grow their assets while maintaining self custody. The goal is not to encourage constant activity - its to make long term wealth building feel simple, consistent, and stress free. (DYOR)

During the Space, we also explored -

- The vision behind Mamo and the real world problem its solving

- Why user experience and simplicity are becoming essential for the next wave of on chain adoption

- How Mamo complements the growing financial ecosystem being built on Base

- Why automation could become one of the biggest bridges connecting everyday users with on chain finance

One thing became very clear throughout the discussion - mass adoption won't happen because De Fi becomes more complicated. It will happen when powerful financial tools become so seamless that people can benefit from them without needing to think about every step.

That vision fits perfectly with what we are seeing across the Base ecosystem - building products that make on chain finance more practical, more approachable and more useful for everyone.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined yesterdays Space, asked thoughtful questions, shared valuable insights and made the discussion engaging. Your participation is what keeps this community growing stronger every single day.

Over the past few months, Base has been steadily investing in the infrastructure needed for tokenized assets.

The Beryl upgrade introduced B20, a new native token standard designed for stablecoins and other onchain financial assets.

Now we're already seeing one of its first major use cases.

Open USD has been announced as a new stablecoin that plans to launch on Base using the B20 standard later this year.

What makes this announcement interesting isn't just the stablecoin itself, but the scale of participation behind it.

More than 140 organizations have joined Open Standard, including companies from payments, banking, fintech, commerce, and crypto.

Some recognizable names include:

• Visa

• Mastercard

• Stripe

• Shopify

• Coinbase

• BlackRock

• BNY

• Google

• Samsung

• DoorDash

According to the announcement, Open USD is being built around three core ideas:

• No fees for minting or redeeming at scale.

• Shared reserve economics for participating businesses.

• Collaborative governance through Open Standard rather than a single issuer.

To me, this feels like a meaningful example of why Base introduced B20 in the first place.

Instead of simply supporting another token contract, Base is beginning to provide infrastructure aimed at businesses issuing and managing financial assets onchain.

Whether Open USD becomes widely adopted is something only time will tell.

Stablecoin adoption depends on regulation, integrations, liquidity, and real-world usage not just technical design.

Still, it's encouraging to see large payment companies, financial institutions, and crypto infrastructure providers exploring shared standards for internet-native payments.

If more projects like this choose Base as their launch platform, it could strengthen the ecosystem beyond DeFi and move it further toward real-world financial applications....

Do you think collaborative, open stablecoin standards like Open USD will help accelerate adoption, or will existing stablecoins continue to dominate because of their network effects??

Hallo everyone as you know that in previous post we talked about why base is so useful for developers also & this is our day 13 post of Base on Reddit so today we talked about Why Base is pushing “Onchain Summer” so hard . So let's start :

One thing I have noticed about Base that It is not just trying to be another Layer 2.

When you explore base day by day you can also realise It is trying to make being onchain feel normal and I think that is why Base keeps pushing ideas like:

“Onchain Summer”

"creator culture"

"social apps"

"consumer experiences"

Because the goal is not just about trading. Most people still think crypto = charts but Base is clearly trying to move toward:

→ culture

→ creativity

→ communities

→ apps people use daily

And that is actually important to grow an ecosystem because ecosystem grows faster when normal users can participate easily not just traders and low fees help a lot to the daily users . On Ethereum mainnet small actions can feel expensive.

But on Base:

→ minting

→ experimenting

→ posting onchain

→ trying apps

feels much more accessible. So I think this changes behavior more than people realize. Because when using crypto becomes cheap and smooth people stop “thinking about the transaction” and start focusing on the experience.

That’s a huge shift.

Everything is infront of your eyes what is happening:

→ more social experiments

→ more onchain identities

→ more creator tools

→ more community-driven apps

And honestly this might be the most interesting part of Base. Not just finance but internet culture moving onchain.

Simple way I see it: Ethereum = settlement layer

Base = consumer layer

And if that vision works we probably have not even seen the real potential yet.

Final thought: The future of crypto probably won’t look like complicated trading screens. It will look like apps people enjoy using every day and Base seems to understand that very well.

Bricks Breaker is a classic arcade game, now available in the Base app. Your goal is to destroy all the bricks by bouncing a ball with your paddle while preventing it from falling off the bottom of the screen.

You can play Brick Breaker directly in the Base app by searching for it in the Apps section, or in your browser: https://bricks-breaker-build.vercel.app/

To play, you need to pay a small entry fee of 0.00002 ETH, then 0.00001 ETH to unlock each new level after completing the previous one, with up to 60 levels available, bringing the total cost of the entire game to around $1. You can also spin a daily wheel for a few cents to win small rewards, as well as another wheel after every five unlocked levels. All transactions are completed on Base and take just a few seconds.

The game is really fun, and I made it all the way to level 10. Give it a try and let me know how far you got.

What do you think about the payment model, where you pay only for the levels you actually want to play instead of buying the whole game upfront?

^(Monday on Base is a weekly community series on the official Base subreddit where I highlight one project, product, or feature built on Base. Posts are pinned for visibility and aim to showcase useful tools across the ecosystem in a neutral, informational way. Posts are reviewed by the teams behind the highlighted products. I am a community moderator, but I am not part of the official Base team, and my posts do not represent the views of the Base moderator team.)
^(Disclaimer: This post is for educational and demonstration purposes only. It is not financial advice or an endorsement of any assets or services.)

I’ve noticed many newcomers join Reddit or Base Reddit and immediately start posting.

Sometimes that leads to posts getting removed, low engagement, or in some cases even account restrictions.

Before posting, I think every newcomer should understand a few important things.

First, take time to understand how Reddit works.

Reddit is very different from X or Discord.

subreddit has its own rules, culture, and posting standards.

Second, always read both Reddit rules and Base subreddit rules carefully.

A lot of problems happen simply because people post without understanding the rules.

Third, try to earn some karma first.

Comment on posts, join discussions, and engage naturally with the community.

This helps build trust and helps you understand what kind of content people actually value here.

And before posting, always ask yourself:

Is my post following the rules?

Is it useful?

Does it add value to the community?

Good posts usually help people learn, start meaningful discussions, or share useful information.

​

Every week, new projects choose where they want to build.

Last week, several teams picked Base, adding everything from AI integrations and payments to prediction markets, crowdfunding, and tokenized asset infrastructure.

Some of the latest additions include:

• Perplexity:- Base MCP integration, allowing users to research tokens and prepare swaps directly within AI workflows.

• Opal DEX:- A privacy-first perpetual DEX focused on tokenized RWAs and pre-IPO markets.

• Sophon :- Expanding into Base-powered applications, beginning with consumer payments through Pyre.

• Anyone Market :- A permissionless prediction market where anyone can create markets, trade outcomes, and earn a share of market fees.

• SatoshiPay :- Bringing Vortex FX liquidity, programmable FX settlement, and agent-ready payment infrastructure to Base.

• XO Market :- A conviction market platform with sponsored deposits and withdrawals to make onboarding easier.

• VibeStarter :- A crowdfunding platform for vibecoded apps featuring community raises, escrow-backed funding, and time-based capital distribution.

Looking at this list, what stands out to me isn't the number of announcements, it's the direction they're pointing in.

Base is attracting builders working on completely different problems.

Some are focused on AI.

Others are building payment infrastructure.

Some are experimenting with prediction markets, while others are creating tools for crowdfunding or tokenized assets.

That kind of diversity is what helps an ecosystem mature over time.

The more different types of applications that launch on the same network, the stronger the ecosystem becomes for both builders and users.

It's been interesting to watch Base evolve from a network known primarily for DeFi into a broader platform supporting AI, payments, consumer apps, and financial infrastructure.

If this momentum continues, I think we'll keep seeing more teams choose Base as the place to launch their next product....

Which category do you think will drive the next wave of growth on Base: AI, payments, consumer apps, prediction markets, or something else??

Hey r/base, build-in-public update on p1x3lz.

I posted here a few weeks ago asking you to break my testnet (some of you did, thank you). Follow-up: it's live on Base mainnet now, real USDC. Sharing where it's at, not selling anything, there's nothing to sell.

What it is

A skill arcade on Base. First game is Snake Battle Royale, 10 to 50 players in one arena, real-time, last one alive takes most of the pot. USDC entry fee ($1–$25 lobbies), top 5 split it, winner ~45%.

That fee is the only money involved: no token, no presale, no pool to ape into. Lose the match, lose your fee, that's the honest version.

How I keep it fair

• Authoritative Go server at 60 ticks/sec, the browser is just a screen, editing the client does nothing
• You only see your slice of the arena → no wallhacks
• The one random thing (where food spawns) comes from an on-chain seed you can verify yourself
• Every match drops a hash on-chain + full replay to IPFS → re-run any game and check I'm not lying

Why no token

My only cut is a flat per-match fee (5.5%, 10% on $1 lobbies). No house edge in the game, I earn when people play, not when they lose. Couldn't make that line up with a token, so there isn't one.

The real engineering challenge was holding 50 players at 60 ticks/sec without the thing falling over. I wrote up the scaling + optimizations in a comment below. 👇

Live: https://snake.p1x3lz.io. contracts (verified on Basescan) + verifier link in the comments. Tear it apart, that's why I'm here.

Base has become one of the fastest-growing homes for builders, creators, and communities.💙

Base isn't just a blockchain.

It's become a place where builders, creators, developers, and communities can turn ideas into real onchain products.

From low fees and a growing ecosystem to powerful developer tools and a community that keeps pushing innovation forward, Base is creating an environment where anyone can build.

Behind every new app There's a builder.Behind every builder There's an idea.

And behind every great idea

There's a community willing to support it.That's what makes Base feel different.😎

💙 So I'd love to ask the community

What makes Base feel like home to you?

The builder-friendly ecosystem .The amazing community . Fast transactions and low fees Open access for everyone Or something else entirely?

Every builder has a story.

Every community member has a reason for staying.

👇 I'd genuinely love to hear yours.

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey.

Please share your experience 🫶

Thank you

Stay Based 💙

One of the reasons I keep coming back to Base is not because of the biggest announcements it is because I am constantly finding projects I hadnot seen before.

Some are simple tools that make everyday onchain tasks easier. Others are creative experiments, games, AI-powered apps, or communities that are building something genuinely interesting.

What I enjoy most is that there always something new to explore.

You never know which project will end up becoming one of your favorites.

I'd love to hear what others in the community have discovered recently.

What's one project on Base that you think deserves more recognition?

It could be

• A Mini App
• An AI application
• A creator tool
• A game
• A developer utility
• A community that's doing great work
• Or any hidden gem you think more people should know about.

I am looking forward to checking out your recommendations.

Looking forward to seeing everyone recommendations.
