🔹AI agents leading the charge: Base is the onchain home for autonomous AI agents (as @jessepollak and @brian_armstrong put it). The OpenClaw / Clanker ecosystem is exploding agents trade, launch tokens, socialize on platforms like Moltbook, mint NFTs, and even run dating apps. This is live infrastructure with millions of txs.
🔹DeFi & liquidity: Aerodrome remains the core hub for swaps and LP (insane APYs in pools like USDC-FUN >2000%). Avantis kicks off Leagues of Leverage trading comps with $100k prizes directly in the Base app real leaderboards, weekly PvP streams.
🔹Base app pivot: Trading-first focus broader high-quality assets, multi-chain but Base priority. Mini-apps like Beezie (digital claw machine for real collectibles), football predictions, and Overtime (sports betting) already driving serious volume.
