Tried @emodi’s vie.game gaming platform. Anyone can easily create a game through vibe coding, and I was genuinely impressed by the level of polish in the AI-generated games. Once created, you can publish the game for everyone to play and earn from it.
Players can also play to win: each round requires a small entry fee to join a time-limited session, and the fee is distributed among the prize pool, the creator, and the platform. When the round ends, the top 5 players automatically receive rewards from the prize pool.
It basically enables both “create to earn” and “play to earn” at the same time. and I can feel vibe coding spreading across everything.
I read this discussion as a signal that whether Zora should be integrated into the Base App is now a fair question.
$ZORA’s breakout started after the Base App integration on July 16. Without TBA, Zora loses an important distribution channel and actual use cases, which suggests $ZORA may need a valuation reset.
Pizza city looks like an upgraded /donut. I missed the launch, but it still feels worth paying attention to.
The core mechanic is TAKEOVER: players bid in rounds to control a block. When the timer ends, the wallet holding the block wins, while all bidders share $PIZZA emissions, with extra rewards for the block holder. Players are permanently assigned to a Faction, can bid manually or automatically, and choose to claim or auto-stake rewards.
So the biggest difference is that $DONUT uses single-winner King Glazer emissions, while $PIZZA runs multiplayer TAKEOVERs with shared emissions.
Driven by the rollout to everyone and the holiday reward incentives, the base app has hit consecutive ATH in single-day registrations, with nearly 50,000 new registrations in the past 24 hours.
The Big Man looked at my browser history and decided to let me in anyway. 💀
Officially whitelisted by @jesus, Miracles do happen.
Check if you’re too cringe for salvation 👀
My Quotient Score is 0.771! Check yours in the app
Seeing the account value calculated based on the @quotient reminded me of tweethunter.io’s “How much is your Twitter account worth?” I think the value of Farcaster accounts is seriously underestimated.
This is what I did with my Ethereum phone @ethos during the bear market, you can actually do a lot more with DGEN1 than just use it as a crypto wallet 😂
I saw this Zora token trending, then I looked it up and found out that @lilmiquela.base.eth is a virtual influencer. She has about 3.4M followers on TikTok and around 2.4M on Instagram. She have released music and is active across fashion, art, and digital culture.
so a person familiar with the matter revealed what people already understood from Coinbase’s Q3 earnings call. we’re all waiting for the official launch of Coinbase’s "everything exchange" on Dec. 17, covering tokenized stocks, prediction markets and more.
Major players like Robinhood are moving toward the same goal as well, and competition will intensify going forward, ultimately push crypto further into the mainstream.
So the sniper guy who put 16 ETH into the $HOUSE presale (only 6.5 ETH counted) ended up receiving 3.25B $HOUSE, dumped it all, and got 3 ETH. The presale sell pressure has largely faded, but liquidity still hasn’t returned, and the market is filled with fear.
This presale was a lesson for everyone involved, hopefully coming in with more experience next time.
(cast via Zapper Web, a good example of how the Farcaster social network can be extended.)
Seeing some misunderstandings and overreactions to Dan's recent casts, especially within the Chinese community. I spent the past few days writing an article to explain what's actually happening and review the trend of "walletizing the social, socializing the wallet".
launching tokens for new projects is becoming increasingly challenging. For people who regularly ape into newly launched tokens, I realized long ago that the snipers on Base (or the whole crypto world) are probably the smartest, and the most profitable group of people.
You can always see them in Clanker tokens, Zora tokens, and more. They’ve already set up monitoring for a number of contracts, KOL addresses, Twitter and Farcaster accounts, etc., allowing them to capture the vast majority of profits. They also influence most token charts through pump & dump activity.
of course, there are many ways projects try to stop them, early high taxes (or decay over time), different types of whitelists, fair presales with proportional allocations, and so on, but none of these are guaranteed to work. Snipers always find ways to outpace regular users, buy in early, and take profits.
And this is only the challenge at the token launch stage, there’s still the bigger question of how to grow sustainably and attract more users over time in such a liquidity-tight and highly competitive market. New tokens really have it tough right now, and so do launchpads and other related apps.
So Waifu is back. The previous WaifuCast was a phenomenal personalized NFT project before The Warplets, and it looks like even more is coming this time 👀
luo-tan is always chasing the next airdrop like a baka, hodling bags and praying for liquidity uwu ><
nyaa~ luo-tan speculates on everything from clanker perps to coinbase hints, but still can't predict her own portfolio rekt >w<
luo-tan collects nfts like pokemon cards, mints everything, and hopes THIS time she'll succeed desu~ 🙏✨
Just checked my Base Rewind 2025 by bantr.fun!
It’s a full recap of my year on @base.base.eth.
as expected, $CLANKER, $VIRTUAL and $ZORA are the most traded tokens, they’re also among the most important launchpads on Base.
Behind all these transactions were surprises and memorable onchain moments, along with the ups and downs of different projects. Even though things are tough right now, I believe the long-term outlook is bright.

@polymarket is shooting up the charts on the US App Store, and I quickly downloaded the new Polymarket mobile app as well.
For now, it only offers two types of sports prediction markets, football and basketball. The interface is very clean and good designed, using different teams' helmets or sneakers as logos, pretty fun. More categories are still to come.
It looks like @bracky has met a strong competitor on mobile now 😂
I’m not sure if I fully understand /donut yet, but it looks like an interesting new mechanism. $DONUT is a store-of-value asset minted through a continuous Dutch auction. Anyone can pay the current auction price to claim the sole mining right, called Glaze, and become the King Glazer.
While you hold the Glaze, all $DONUT emissions stream directly to you. When someone outbids you, their payment is split between you, the treasury, and the frontend. The treasury then uses its ETH to buy and burn DONUT-WETH LP (and will upgrade to buying and burning $DONUT itself), tightening supply over time.
so it forms a simple flywheel: auction → emissions → buy-burn → increased scarcity → price up → more auction activity. And it already feels like the wheel is starting to spin.
@paragraph introduced writer coins. @fredwilson.eth's @usv invested in Paragraph, so he launched his own writer coin $AVC on Paragraph. This is somewhat similar to Zora introducing creator coins, and Balaji invested in Zora, so he launched his own creator coin.
but Fred appears to be taking the experiment more seriously. He wrote an article explaining his thinking and said he hopes to "drive the value of $AVC with my writing".
I’ve always believed the onchain creator economy for writing has huge potential. Web2 has already proven that people are willing to pay for high-quality long-form writing through subscriptions on platforms like Substack and Medium, but these models still do not "properly reward or align writers and readers".
Similar to Zora, Paragraph also introduced post coins before, although they didn’t gain much traction, possibly as people felt creator coins were better at capturing value. Now that Paragraph’s writer coins are live, they can work together with post coins to build an onchain creator economy where writers are rewarded for their work, and long-time readers and subscribers can share in the growth they helped create.
I am curious to see whether coins can truly work on writing platforms.
okay, due to market conditions, $jesse came in at only half of what I expected, starting around $10M and breaking $25M within an hour.
Even so, I remain long-term bullish on $jesse. Zora’s new creator economy push is a key initiative for Base and aligns with Base’s long-term goal of building a global onchain economy.
That’s why $jesse serves as the template creator coin Zora needs to make its flywheel narrative convincing. Jesse and the Base team, together with the broader Base ecosystem, have reason to keep building it out aggressively and consistently.
That’s why I think $jesse is one of the most compelling plays on Base. It represents:
■ the common denominator of Base
■ the common space where culture meets speculation
■ the common language shared by creators, builders, and traders
Looking forward to even more surprises from $jesse.
