Base teases token + Solana bridge 🌉
White Rabbit takes Web3 to the Emmys 🎬
Plasma Mainnet Beta goes live Sept 25 🔗
$1M USDC lost to a MEV bot 💀
Pixelverse expands to Base & Farcaster
Solmate puts $300M into Solana 🚀
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 “ETH alternative.” Institutions are loading up.
Alright, that’s a wrap for this week's edition of The Web3 Watch! 🚀
See you all next week!
