Base @base Base is beginning to explore a network token We’re in the early phases of exploration, and don’t have any specifics to share around timing, design, or governance. We’re committed to bringing the community along with us, and building in the open. 7,721 8:21 PM • Sep 15, 2025 Big vibes from BaseCamp 2025! Base is hinting at a native token (still early, no launch yet ) as part of their decentralization push. They also dropped an open-source Solana bridge, making ERC20 SPL swaps way smoother. Builders got love too—Base Batches 002 is rolling out with funding, mentorship, and even a Devconnect Demo Day in Argentina. Oh, and the Base App? Already has a 1M+ waitlist, paid $500K+ to creators, and shipped new tools under Base Build. Not bad for a chain that just turned one. Web3 on the Red Carpet: White Rabbit Wins an Emmy pplpleasr @pplpleasr1 White Rabbit just became the first crypto project to win an Emmy imagine telling 2021 CT that in a few years our producers and ETH would get a shoutout on stage at the Emmys u wouldn't believe us "ą«®ā‚ ˶•⤙•˶ ā‚Žįƒ 1,823 8:49 PM • Sep 17, 2025 This one’s historic—White Rabbit, a crypto project co-created by pplpleasr, just became the first-ever Web3 project to win an Emmy . Built on Ethereum, it mixes NFTs, storytelling, and VFX into an on-chain interactive series where users shape the plot. From DeFi to Hollywood, Web3 is proving it’s not just finance—it’s culture, creativity, and community ownership. Mainstream finally noticed. Plasma Mainnet Beta Launch: Backed by Tether & Founders Fund Mark your calendars—Sept 25. That’s when Plasma Mainnet Beta drops with its native token XPL. Backed by Tether and Founders Fund, Plasma is bringing $2B in stablecoins on day one. Expect zero-fee USDT transfers, PlasmaBFT consensus, and DeFi collabs with Aave, Euler, Ethena. Binance even listed pre-market XPL contracts (~$0.55). Plus, 25M XPL rewards for early adopters. Could be the next stablecoin liquidity hub to watch. $1M USDC Lost to a MEV Bot yannickcrypto.eth @YannickCrypto its a "exploit", he sent his own address (7702 delegated to contract code), then the contract approved him infinity and he just withdrew it. 7 11:19 PM • Sep 16, 2025 Another week, another oops. An Ethereum user accidentally sent $1M USDC straight into a bridge contract without the right steps. A MEV bot instantly swooped in and pocketed the funds—its biggest haul ever. Unless the operator decides to return it (spoiler: unlikely), that bag is gone. Lesson: always triple-check addresses & bridging steps. MEV bots don’t forgive mistakes. Pixelverse Levels Up: From Telegram to Base & Farcaster Pixelverse @pixelverse_xyz Not far from Farcaster 60 7:56 PM • Sep 17, 2025 Pixelverse is done being Web2-lite. The viral tap-to-earn Telegram game is launching Pixelverse Arcade on Base + Farcaster. First up is Storychain (Sept 23)—an AI-agent storytelling game where replies build a chain that mints into an NFT. With PIXFI rewards and full wallet integration, Pixelverse is shifting from mass Telegram users to a crypto-native Web3 community. Let’s see if this move keeps the hype alive. Solana Scores a $300M Treasury With ā€˜Solmate’Brera Holdings (yes, the sports club guys) just went full degen—raising $300M to buy Solana and rebranding to Solmate. Backers include Ark Invest, Solana Foundation, RockawayX, and Pulsar Group. The stock? Pumped 500% in a day. Solmate’s big goal: turn the UAE into a Solana hub. With SOL trading near $249 and up 39% this month, this move cements Solana as more than just an ā€œETH alternative.ā€ Institutions are loading up.
