**2025 is the year we build together**

In case you missed it, we shared our [mission, vision, and strategy for 2025](https://base.mirror.xyz/gFOLgyrs8jtX4Eqt4Kh6ikWhB3tqrhQoKfddeqZIECs). This year we're:  
🛠 Delivering world-class tools for builders  
👥 Growing an ecosystem of apps  
👤 Making onchain identity easy  
💳 Fostering global capital markets  
🌍 Decentralizing, scaling, and accelerating

At the end of the day, we can only succeed if all Base builders step up to make it happen. Ready to build alongside us? [Read the full mission](https://base.mirror.xyz/gFOLgyrs8jtX4Eqt4Kh6ikWhB3tqrhQoKfddeqZIECs), share it with others, and check out [this thread](https://x.com/base/status/1881807589849072000) where it’s translated in 22 different languages:

**Moonwell Card**

Speaking of [Moonwell](https://x.com/MoonwellDeFi), the new [Moonwell Card](https://card.moonwell.fi/) lets you shop, dine, and travel at over 44 million merchants worldwide. Someone on [TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@base_onchain/video/7461042970406440238) asked us if crypto debit cards even exist, so we shared about what's possible with cards like this one.
