Base is heating up. From a cryptic new “Day One” teaser to groundbreaking launches across DeFi, gaming, and creator tools — this week made one thing clear: the next chapter of Base is coming fast. Coinbase hit fresh highs, new dapps dropped left and right, and builders across the world are shipping at full speed.
Whether you're stacking $BTCB for the upcoming airdrop or vibecoding your first mini app, there’s never been a better time to be based.
A significant but cryptic announcement from @base. On June 23, 2025, Base teased the next chapter of its journey, inviting the community to save the date for July 16, 2025, and tune into the livestream coming from LA 3PM. This marks a new "day one" for Base, as stated in their post, suggesting major developments or updates are on the horizon.
Coinbase is having a monumental week, marked by significant achievements that solidify its position as a leader in the crypto industry. On June 27, 2025, Coinbase’s stock hit a new all-time high of $378.45, surpassing its previous peak and reflecting robust investor confidence. This milestone comes on the heels of Coinbase being named one of Time’s 100 Most Influential Companies of 2025, announced on June 26, 2025. This recognition by Time Magazine highlights Coinbase’s transformative impact on the global economy, especially after becoming the first cryptocurrency company in the S&P 500 and its influential role in crypto policy.
As we look ahead, July 2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal month for the Base ecosystem and beyond. On July 15, 2025, $BTCB will airdrop $cbBTC to wallets holding at least 2,400 $BTCB, in partnership with @HashpowerX. This airdrop, announced on June 28, 2025, by @BTC_On_Base, requires users to hold the specified amount in a single wallet before the snapshot is taken, marking a significant reward for early adopters and miners.
On June 25, 2025, @YieldClubHQ announced its live launch on iOS and Android, introducing a simple onchain savings account that anyone can use to earn stablecoin yields. Built on @base, with account abstraction by @privy_io, and powered by @morpholabs, YieldClub aims to redefine the onchain consumer experience. Mahesh Vellanki, in a series of posts, emphasized that unlike most onchain apps that feel like developer tools, YieldClub is designed for everyday users, offering a beautiful, intuitive interface to earn up to 12% yield in a few taps, without seed phrases, clunky UX, or crypto jargon.
YieldClub abstracts away the complexity through:
@privy_io for seamless login and embedded wallets.
@base for fast on-ramping and low-cost transactions.
@morpholabs for native DeFi yield.
Vellanki highlighted the choice of Base as the most consumer-ready Layer 2 today, crediting @jessepollak and the Base team for their focus on affordability and UX. Building on @morpho was described as a "no-brainer," underscoring the platform’s suitability for YieldClub’s mission.
On June 25, 2025, @flaunchgg announced the launch of their first Farcaster Mini App, a tool designed to revolutionize how users launch and manage coins. This app allows users to:
Launch a coin with friends.
Split revenue with any wallet or Farcaster profiles.
Set entire /channels as fee receivers.
This development, as detailed in their post, aims to simplify the process of coin creation and revenue sharing within the Farcaster ecosystem. Users can now try it at mini.flaunch.gg.
On June 23, 2025, @Nibel_eth introduced @Base Voices, an initiative aimed at rewarding based creators within the Base ecosystem. The first campaign focuses on highlighting favorite #IncuBase projects from Demo Day, as part of a pilot program powered by @saygmtribe. This initiative, as detailed in the announcement, encourages community engagement by rewarding creators for their efforts in promoting and supporting IncuBase projects.
Users are invited to watch the video and sign up at app.gmtribe.xyz/base to learn more and participate. This program aligns with Base’s broader strategy to foster a vibrant creator economy, especially following the success of Base Batches, where over 900 projects competed.
On June 26, 2025, @CoinbaseAssets announced that cbADA and cbLTC are now live on @base, marking a significant expansion of the platform’s asset offerings. These ERC-20 tokens are backed 1:1 by ADA and LTC held in custody by Coinbase, ensuring full reserves and transparency through proof of reserves. This development, as detailed in their post, allows users to leverage Cardano (ADA) and Litecoin (LTC) within the Base ecosystem, enhancing DeFi and other onchain applications.
Coinbase’s commitment to 1:1 backing is crucial, with proof of reserves available to maintain trust. This launch follows the pattern of other Coinbase Wrapped tokens like cbBTC, cbXRP, cbDOGE, and cbLTC, each backed by their respective assets held in custody. The addition of cbADA and cbLTC could attract more users and developers to Base, broadening the platform’s appeal and utility.
On June 24, 2025, @buildonbase announced an initiative to empower developers to build mini apps using the ultimate end-to-end vibecoding stack. This stack includes:
@v0 for code generation.
@vercel for deployment.
@base's MiniKit for building onchain apps.
@farcaster_xyz or the new @CoinbaseWallet for distribution.
This development, as detailed in their post, aims to streamline the process of creating and deploying mini apps, making it accessible for developers to leverage Base’s infrastructure. Tutorials are available to guide users through setting up images in v0, using the v0 template, and deploying on Vercel. Developers can fork the v0 template to get started immediately. https://v0.dev/community/mini-app-setup-p9CvHuOal3A
On June 24, 2025, @base announced that Decentralized Pictures (@DCP_Foundation) has launched on its own Base Appchain, marking a significant milestone for onchain creativity.

This initiative, as detailed in their post, aims to amplify creative works and make creativity accessible to everyone, now powered by Base.
The Creator’s Award encourages creators to coin their work on Zora, where it will be promoted by the DCP team. This aligns with Base’s mission to foster a vibrant ecosystem for decentralized applications, especially following the success of Base Batches and the anticipation for the July 16 livestream.

On June 30, 2025, @tevaera introduced the Teva Protocol on @base, a unified, permissionless protocol designed for onchain Guilds and Games. This launch, as detailed in their series of posts, addresses the fragmentation in onchain gaming by creating a self-sovereign, composable economy that integrates guild tokenization and gameplay.
Solving Fragmentation
Onchain gaming often suffers from broken economies, unsustainable loops, and isolated systems. Tevaera aims to resolve these issues by unifying guild tokenization and gameplay, fostering a cohesive ecosystem.
Launching Onchain Guilds
Guilds, central to gaming communities, are typically managed through spreadsheets or Discord roles. Teva Protocol enables anyone to launch a fully tokenized, onchain guild in just four clicks, including:
Utility Token creation.
Onchain Governance.
Locked mechanisms for security and stability.
Self-Sovereign Guild Economy
The protocol introduces a new framework where each guild operates as a standalone economic hub, featuring:
Onchain treasury and Guild Score–based rewards.
Governance and staking mechanisms.
Native game integration and progression.
Tools to manage and enhance guild activities.
Native Games Built for Guilds
Tevaera supports both in-house and externally developed games, all designed with native guild integration. Notable examples include:
Teva Run: Live on Web, App Store, and Play Store, with over 10 million matches played.
@DegenRivals: A fast-paced game enhancing the guild experience.
Vision for the Future
The announcement emphasizes the potential for infinite guilds and games within one protocol. Tevaera is now live, inviting users to start their onchain guild at tevaera.com, with the tagline “Be early. Be onchain. Be Based.”
On June 30, 2025, @base announced their presence in Cannes for @EthCC, aiming to meet based builders throughout the week. Here’s the schedule for Day 1, as detailed in their post:

On June 29, 2025, @LosFomos announced a remarkable achievement: raising $10,000 USDC in just four days through a fee-less campaign on @farcaster_xyz and Base. This rapid fundraising effort, aimed at co-producing an IRL show, underscores the potential of Farcaster and Base for efficient, community-driven financial initiatives.
The campaign, as detailed in their post, was conducted without traditional fees, highlighting the platform’s capability to facilitate quick raises. Los Fomos (LF), a project or community on Farcaster, leveraged this opportunity to engage their supporters, demonstrating how onchain social platforms can empower creators and podcasters. The post expressed gratitude to their community, referred to as LFers, for their support during the last few hours of the campaign. This success story could inspire other creators to explore Farcaster and Base for similar initiatives, potentially driving further adoption of onchain fundraising.
On June 27, 2025, @MoonwellDeFi announced the Auto Load feature for the Moonwell Card, a game-changer for users balancing onchain and everyday spending. This feature automatically funds the Moonwell Card with USDC from your USDC Vault, ensuring you can earn yields while remaining ready to spend in real-world scenarios. The announcement, as detailed in their post, emphasizes the seamless integration of onchain finance with IRL utility, encapsulated by “Onchain 🤝 IRL.”
This development addresses a key challenge in crypto adoption: the friction between earning onchain and spending offchain. By automating the funding process, Moonwell enables users to maintain their yield-earning positions while accessing their funds for everyday purchases. This aligns with Moonwell’s broader mission to enhance the usability of decentralized finance, especially within the Base ecosystem.
On June 23, 2025, @term_labs announced that Term Finance is now live on @base, introducing predictable, onchain borrow/lend capabilities to the ecosystem. This launch, as detailed in their post, allows users (not available to US persons) to borrow and lend with fixed-rate certainty, addressing the challenge of unpredictable rates in DeFi.
Fixed-Rate Borrowing: Users can lock in fixed rates through Term’s weekly auctions, borrowing against $cbBTC with guaranteed borrow rates. This ensures stability and predictability, a significant advantage over variable rate models.
Matched-Maturity Loans: Term Finance integrates with @pendle_fi PT (Principal Token) tokens, allowing users to lock in their spread with matched-maturity loans, further enhancing rate certainty.
User Accessibility: For those unsure where to start, Term Finance provides an Earn section at app.term.finance/earn, guiding users through the process.
The platform’s launch on Base, as noted in their post, aims to bring fixed-rate certainty to the ecosystem, potentially attracting more users seeking stability in their financial operations. The exclusion of US persons is a regulatory consideration, ensuring compliance with jurisdictional restrictions.
