Cinema, onchain
CC0 Studios has just released episode one of 'the normal mfer'. Michael Francis AKA "mfer" is cooped up in his childhood home post-college when his dad announces he's selling the house. Watch on YouTube and mint on Zora.
In the same vein, Cold Wallet is a new film being released fully onchain by Decentralized Pictures. Presented by Steven Soderbergh and starring Josh Brener (Silicon Valley), Tony Cavalero (Righteous Gemstones), Melonie Diaz (Gringo), Raul Castillo (Smile 2), and others, this feature film is experimenting with new onchain models for distribution — ones that don’t depend on gatekeepers and can actually benefit the cast and crew. Keep an eye out for an onchain release, soon.
This is how cinema survives the next decade.
Restaurants fight back against middlemen
When you run a restaurant, every transaction bleeds. Card fees, delivery app markups, loyalty programs that work against you — traditional payment rails weren’t built for local businesses. Flynet is Blackbird’s answer: A transaction network where restaurants set the rules, keep their margins, and tap into new loyalty models.
Onchain agents bring the receipts
Shopping can be frustrating when there's fake claims and zero transparency. Eco claims are easy to fake, and it's hard to know what's actually happening behind the scenes when you shop. Ecolink AI from Ecosapiens brings transparency to shopping: Scan, verify, and get rewarded for choosing products that are truly sustainable.
Finance without the friction
Moonwell’s Virtual Accounts are rewriting what it means to be banked. If you’re working remotely from certain countries and need to get paid, payments can be slow and the fees can add up. With a Virtual Account, your paycheck instantly converts to USDC and is yours to send, spend, or save. No delays, no surprises. Money should just work.
Privacy can be important, and Veil makes it possible on Base by letting verified users send and receive crypto privately.

ETHDenver
The Base team was at ETHDenver this year and our time was extremely based. Our team was on the showfloor to connect with based builders and be a part of the Onchain Future Showcase, featuring Moshicam, Slice, Farcade, and Freysa.
For builders, we made some big announcements about how we're making Base faster, simpler, and more powerful:
Flashblocks make Base 10x faster
Appchains allow apps to scale
Smart Wallet Sub Accounts make coming onchain way simpler for everyone

We're featuring our favorite memes from based communities on X. Have something you'd want to see shared in the future? Keep meme-ing and tag us.
As always, this is just a slice of what’s happening onchain. Around the world, people are building, creating, and reshaping what the internet can be — and it's happening on Base.
