Exploring Base: A Guide for Creators and Traders
What You Can Do in the Base EcosystemIf you’ve been hearing about Base but aren’t sure what it actually is, here’s the short version. Base is a Layer 2 blockchain built by Coinbase using the OP Stack, the same open-source framework that powers Optimism. This makes Base fast, affordable, and fully compatible with Ethereum. But Base isn’t just another network. Over time, it has become one of the most active and creative ecosystems in crypto, a place where builders, traders, and creators experim...

X402: The Forgotten Internet Code That’s About to Change Crypto Payments
Over the past week, a quiet revolution has been stirring in crypto circles. Developers, investors, and tech analysts are suddenly talking about something called x402. It’s not a token, not a DeFi protocol, and not another hype cycle. Instead, it’s a piece of technology that could redefine how the internet handles money. x402 takes its name from an old HTTP status code, 402 – Payment Required, which has existed since the 1990s but was never actually used. Coinbase’s developer team has now deci...

But when you dig deeper, the real story is even more interesting.Because UpOnlyTV wasn’t the main deal. The big move was Coinbase acquiring Echo for $375 million, making it a total of $400 million spent in one strategic sweep. This is one of the boldest and smartest plays we’ve seen from Coinbase in years.Echo: The Heart of t...

From AI Agents to Creators: The New Meta Is Already Here
Virtual was a major turning point for me. After years of a painful bear market, suddenly there was this very interesting new meta, an infrastructure for AI agents. At that time, AI agents weren’t widely known yet. I still remember hearing about them because of Goatse Maximus. It was the beginning of the “agent rally” on Solana. But I also remember this one mid-sized project called Virtual, which was being built on Base. In the early days, Virtual only had a few agents. I can only recall Luna,...

How to Choose the Right Creator Coin on Zora
I’ve written two articles about Zora before because I genuinely believe the next big meta is the creator onchain economy. This new wave isn’t just about art or speculation, it’s about how value moves directly between creators and their supporters. Platforms like Zora make that possible, allowing collectors to back creators in a transparent and meaningful way. One of the most exciting parts of this ecosystem is the rise of creator coins. If you’re exploring this space and want to invest in a c...

The Biggest Crypto Liquidation in History
Yesterday felt like a nightmare you couldn’t wake up from. The crypto market just got hit with the biggest liquidation in history. Billions gone. Traders frozen in disbelief, staring at screens that looked like they were bleeding. In just 24 hours, around $19,000,000,000 worth of positions were wiped out. Most of them were longs — people betting that the market would keep climbing. Instead, it collapsed. Over 1.6 million traders got liquidated. That’s one point six million people watching the...

The Fall of Poloniex and Bittrex
In the early days of cryptocurrency trading, Poloniex and Bittrex were giants. They stood as symbols of innovation and opportunity. Traders flocked to them for their wide selection of coins, fast listings, and promise of freedom from traditional banking systems. They were the places where people took risks, made fortunes, and felt part of something revolutionary. But over the years, that promise turned into disappointment. Both exchanges slowly fell apart under the weight of regulation, poor ...

Zora and the Rise of the On-chain Creator Economy
Something powerful is happening across the internet. The walls between creators and their audiences are coming down.

At the front of this movement is Zora, a platform that feels less like a tool and more like a new foundation for creativity. It’s simple, open, and creator-first. Zora gives artists, thinkers, and builders a way to mint t...

Socket Protocol: The Quiet Revolution in Chain Abstraction
If you’ve ever bridged assets across chains, you know the pain. Every move feels like walking a tightrope between networks, signing endless approvals, and praying your tokens don’t get stuck somewhere in the multichain void. Socket Protocol was created to end that chaos. It acts like the invisible bridge between worlds, letting developers build as if the entire crypto space was one connected chain. Behind the scenes, it quietly handles all the routing, execution, and verification that make mu...
