📆 Week Recap: July 20th–27th
Hey frens,
It’s been another jam-packed week onchain.
In this Onchain Drop, we’re diving into Base’s new app, fresh drops, creative launches, and meaningful new connections.
Let’s run it back 👇
The Base App is Here. And It Slaps.
It’s been nearly two weeks since Base dropped TBA (The Base App), and if you’re wondering what it stands for… it might as well be The Best App yet.

I also recently dropped a short video where I sat down with the lead engineer behind the app, Chintan Turakhia, to hear his hopes for how we can onboard by making the onchain experience simpler.
It was honor to sit with the lead engineer behind the app, to talk about simplifying the onchain future.

🔴 BMX Livestream — Featuring Moonwell & Mamo
In our latest livestream, we sat down with the legendary Luke Youngblood from Moonwell DeFi and Mamo to explore how they're making onchain lending and borrowing more accessible.
From turning idle crypto into usable liquidity to offering flexible repayment without fees, we covered the tools that make DeFi more practical for everyday use, as well as how their AI agent (Mamo) is helping to simplify things for traders, including on the Base App

🎙 Unexpected Connections
I spontaneously joined a space hosted by the lovely Tea Onchain — and the Base fam showed up. What followed was a wave of new voices, genuine energy, and connections I didn’t expect.
Everyone was engaged, super welcoming and asking question, and it was refreshing to see the genuine curiosity of this community.
A reminder that sometimes, the best moments can sometimes come unplanned. Grateful for the warmth and curiosity of this community, and for Tea having me up as a speaker 💙
💜 GM Farcaster
Another highlight this week was getting to sit down with the incredible women behind GM Farcaster on the Onchain Media podcast!
We talked about what drew them into the onchain space, their love for Farcaster, mini apps, and of course, onchain media.
Powerful convo, genuine laughs, and a reminder of the magic that happens when we build together 💪
Full pod episode dropping soon! 🔥

📰 In Other News
Market near $4 trillion as BTC rallies — The total crypto market cap recently surged to around $4 trillion, driven by renewed institutional demand, regulatory progress (notably the passage of the GENIUS Act), and spot ETF inflows. Bitcoin climbed toward $123K, while Ethereum and Solana also posted strong gains.
Institutional confidence is on the rise — Companies continue building crypto treasuries, and ETF inflows and IPO filings suggest the financial sector is doubling down on digital assets.
Bitcoin treasury companies are becoming a dominant force in the crypto market, while more spot crypto ETFs and crypto-related IPOs are also right around the corner.
Ethereum: It's on the rise, Approaching $3,900 📈 ETH is now up 65% over the past month, and it is beginning to decouple from BTC.

📝 Founder's Note
This past week reminded me that onchain culture isn't just something we talk about — it's something we're actively living. From spontaneous spaces, to sharing our creations and building new connections, the energy is real and the momentum is building.
As more tools launch and more stories unfold, it’s clear: we’re still early — and we’re shaping what comes next, together.
Thanks for being here.
Until the next Drop 💧
