#### Shopify turns on crypto payments

Millions of stores. Now powered by stablecoins.

[**Shopify**](https://x.com/Shopify) just rolled out USDC payments on Base for stores using Shopify Payments and Shop Pay. Spend crypto, get 1% back. Live now, with wider rollout coming soon. Powered by a new smart contract protocol developed with Base, the onchain internet just got its checkout button.

Shopify will enable USDC (Stablecoins on @Base) in Checkout via Shopify Payments and Shop Pay. Early access starts today, roll out throughout the year.  
  
We think that stablecoins are a natural way to transact on the Internet and worked with coinbase to develop the commerce

#### Coin to conceal. Buy to reveal.

[**Revealcam**](https://revealcam.fun/) is a new project created by [Ace](https://twitter.com/startupoppa) and [Peter Kim](https://twitter.com/pkayfire) that lets anyone post an image and pixelate it behind a token wall. Once someone buys **10M** of the token, the image is revealed.

[Stalomir](https://x.com/Stalomir) is unveiling alien lore. [SHL0MS](https://x.com/SHL0MS) is expanding “   ”. What will you reveal?

Part media. Part game. Fully onchain.

#### Brand in the Open, through the eyes of Graphix Artiste

What does building a brand in the open look like? We invited 10 artists to remix the Base identity from the ground up. One of them was [GraphixArtiste](https://twitter.com/GraphixArtiste), a multidisciplinary artist who “creates art for the internet.”

Graphix Artiste's process for Brand in the Open was deliberately anti-formulaic. “I let the vibes guide me. Music, aesthetics, feelings. The vision comes first. Even if it doesn’t make sense yet.” His work "incorporated every technique I know so your eye would wonder around and get lost in the details."

His advice to artists? “I want creatives on Base to feel like they’re in a sandbox again. You can break rules. Make new ones.” Let’s build the future, together.

#### **DEX trading is coming to Coinbase**

Soon, Base tokens won’t _just_ live in your wallet. They’ll be in your Coinbase app.

That means you’ll be able to trade tokens on Base directly from Coinbase the moment they go live. Today, Coinbase supports hundreds of assets. Tomorrow? Thousands.

A new chapter in onchain access is coming.

Our asset universe is about to get a whole lot bigger.  
  
DEX trading is coming.  
  
Today, Coinbase users can trade hundreds of assets.  
  
But soon, you’ll be able to trade thousands of [@base](https://twitter.com/base) assets within moments of them going live — all within the Coinbase app.

_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._
