was all about Basecamp. An annual gathering by the Base (from Coinbase) team that invites community members and companies. At the opening Keynote Coinbase executive Jesse Pollak announced the exploration of a Token for the Base ecosystem (Base chain, Base app and Base bridges).

1. Interestingly Base is not natively supporting Solana assets vai their bridge. We expect that to roll out for more ecosystems like Hyperliquid, Arbitrum and more. Yes that means native perps via Hyperliquid on Base. The goal we believe is creating shared liquidity. Think Polkadot that has usage.

   What did you see? tag @samuellhuber.eth on Farcaster to ping great insights for next week's episode.

Here's the current overview of Farcaster metrics.

• How much funds do users hold? aka what's the liquidity you can tap into? How much of these is held by quality users?

• Is the network growing? How many of these users are considered quality (using OpenRank global scores for filtering). How does activity look like?

• Which chains are used the most among influential accounts and how does Base vs Solana dominance look like?

• How many daily active users (DAU) does Farcaster have right now? How much activity exists aka how many new posts? how many of these new posts are from quality users?

Financial assets are underrated. Doing games and tokens is the low hanging fruit. Too many tokens without cash flows exist that by laws of economics have to go to zero. It's a hot potato game, you either eat it fast enough to get full or you'll be burnt.

What financial assets? all kinds of loan access could be made way more exessible with more liquidity and faster funding via AI x Crypto. AI and automations to approve loans based on available data and APIs of the companies/individuals bank providers and goverments with crypto like Morpho vaults to accomodate the matching of lenders to these approved borrowers.
