great example of the onchain flywheel: create great content on @zora, use that content to reward others with @noicedotso.

base is for everyone.

4:45 PM • May 26, 2025

David Tso (dave.base.eth)

Why microtransations at scale on @base are a huge unlock:

For builders / creators – this is a brand new way to reach active wallets and get discovery

For users / everyday people – this a brand new way to make their first $100 on the internet and get onchain

jesse.base.eth

it's now possible to do microtransactions at scale on @base (e.g. send a cent every time you engage)

who is building products that takes advantage of this new paradigm?

Crypto can eliminate the geographic lottery and level the playing field for everyone, everywhere
