Base still has a chance to come back. The answer is Appcoins (ICM 2.0). but only if it fixes one thing: how capital shows up after launch. If not, nothing else matters. Let me start with the problem: No one is bidding projects after they launch (lack of day-2+ net inflow). Different ecosystems, same outcome. In the last 3 months, only one @clanker launch is >$1M, and only 3 crossed ATH >$1M. @district-xyz launches are only down - this fits the ICO thesis more than ICM. @virtualsprotocol.eth rarely produce launches worth attention (maybe 1–2 per month). @zora is no longer the place to launch apps due to sentiment. And most apps that launched before are down badly. last year, BNB was far behind Base in trench volume. now, most graduated shitters do more volume than a legit founder launching via Clanker and getting ~$200k in 10h. If Base wants to attract builders, speculative capital has to be here. Think about the Base app as a tool to launch and distribute crypto startups. All metrics are public. Tagging @rish since Farcaster is doubling down on appcoins. The playbook is clear: 1. Have strong fundamentals for the product/narrative (gather feedback privately from degens) 2. Study and solve ICM 1.0 problems 3. Find unique, strong projects/founders and send a few projects in the first 2 weeks to $10M+ (yes, I said send — exactly what CZ/FourMeme + Sol/Pump did sometimes) 4. Make retail meaningfully win from small size via the Base app, then promote it 5. For every $10M+ runner, Sol/BSC degens will come back to bid - partner with the right traders from other chains Include tooling for builders to report, stream, govern, and distribute rewards - anything that could improve community engagement. There aren’t many asset types left for traders to bid on. Memes and attention are already taken by other chains. Startups/appcoins might be the last real chance for Base. I’ve been on Base for 2 years. It’s frustrating to see it lose momentum after we’ve invested 7 months building on a chain that may not help us find PMF. I am not giving up and want Base to thrive, and I’ll bring all my creativity to help traders benefit with our product.

If you have a competitor hyping metrics that don’t match reality. Inflated on-chain numbers. Boosted tweets. Reveal it or stay silent?

if u ever looking to make a research on X Grok is great for it

gonna play this a lil bit next week. may luck come with it I will help you get an airdrop @lotry on Base Get 200 points by joining with my link: https://www.lotry.fun/r/5EEEAN3FJV

It’s simple in theory, hard in execution. To drive real demand and distribution, three things need to happen: - bring the best builders and actually support them - create trenches with real liquidity - attract users who want to use and earn, not just explore There’s a lot of room to improve on all three.

I don’t want to speak up in the trench group because it can be viewed as FUD. I still sometimes do it, and when I look back at it — in most cases, I’m right. It’s easy to shill a thesis, but confronting it is viewed negatively. I think a lot of people choose not to speak up because of that. And when FUD does appear, it’s usually public and extreme.

asked chat gpt about natal stuff works really well

An idea for Base airdrop Don’t drop 100% on day one. Example: 10% total allocation, streamed monthly based on onchain usage: usage milestones + leaderboard for bonuses. Want to claim early? Take 30%. The remaining 70% goes back to the pool.

Just joined Base app and crypto? Lock in I am self-employed for the last 3.5 years because of Web3 AI is coming for digital jobs You either in AI or crypto. Safe heavens Crypto is risky, but if you doing the right thing - there are chances Happy to onboard those who are in need

If Zora and Base wants to really succeed, they need to address the sniping problem. On Clanker, there was a sniper who made millions - every launch was sniped. Eventually, people stopped trading, and the money never returned to the trenches. Most tokens with volume have snipers as top traders, with a huge gap compared to others.

Why skipping nick:)

inflate the metrics, raise money, inflate the metrics, tge - profit when I see projects buying likes and engagement, most likely they also have the fake volume for me it feels like a scam, fake it till you make it has the line

Dear Mr.President Can you look at the chart? Zora is not alone, the concept does not work

Reflecting on 2025 as a Base builder: My year was about failing, learning, grinding again - and it felt the same for Base team The original vision is why I started and why I'm still here shipping, even with low patience and dead sentiment rn We've heard promises and slogans, but we're not there yet (I think the team knows it) Not that many options for builders right now... But I know, Base and CB are not going anywhere So what can happen next? Just one good runner and we are back. CB never "crimed" a trench token. BSC and Sol did. That's why degens believe. Hoping 2026 rewards us believers with a few PVE runners and a real killer app – 100k+ DAU actually using it, talking, winning The infra is ready, just need a proper idea and top-notch execution from all parties (degens as well!) Happy to chat with other builders and support on the way to make us winning together.

feels like some projects can get lucky in crypto by doing the right things at the right time but the execution after - matters, and failing here is easy they act like they made it, but no in crypto you need to remember who is your audience, and CT will remind you about it!

Base and Zora team needs to be locked into the room > study > act on the feedbacks they are receiving pick 3-5 random trenchers and top voices on X and have a conversation about it due to CB they have infinite chances, but it will be harder to comeback with every failure

what would you do seeing competitors lying when posting on socials?

coin of a person > their content traders will bet on a person token vs their content unless a content has memetic value

slowly royals gonna make it

i need @realgarrytan.base.eth to temporarily stop posting on Farcaster, so the token price goes down and I buy the dip 😏
