Last week was campfires and red carpets, this one was all about voices being heard and stories being told.
From the long-awaited voice dox of BMX co-founder Meowphasaurus, to dropping a never-before-seen Waka Flocka interview, to 5+ live sessions across Base projects—the content machine was churning nonstop. And all of it kept circling back to what matters: amplifying the builders, culture, and magic of this ecosystem.
Let’s dive in ⤵️

This week reminded me of how powerful it is when voices are heard.
From Waka Flocka sharing his journey from music to crypto, to Meowphasaurus speaking publicly for the first time after years of building, the theme was clear: stories matter. They inspire, they connect, and they bring the onchain world to life. And make it more human.
On top of that, the content didn’t stop: 5+ live shows in one week, countless conversations, and constant signals that this ecosystem is only gaining momentum. Even on the macro side, we saw the SEC fast-track ETFs, the London Stock Exchange go live with its blockchain platform, and major institutions like DBS and Franklin Templeton doubling down on tokenization.
The takeaway for me is simple: the onchain movement isn’t slowing, it’s very much accelerating. And the best part is we’re not just witnessing it, we’re shaping it together.
Thanks for showing up, for reading, and for being part of this journey. Let's keep building! 🛠
See you onchain,
