Base App Is Live: Create, Earn, and Trade — All in Chat, Secured by XMTP

The Base App is officially live to the world.

Base App isn’t just another crypto app. It’s an onchain social and economic hub where you can create, earn, trade, and discover—all inside DMs and group chats.

Chat is not just a feature but a foundation for users interact, talk with agents, and share mini apps to play in groups.

This is what messaging looks like when it’s built for mini apps, agents, and real economic activity.


Chat is the New App Store

In Base App, chat isn’t something you use alongside mini apps.

Chat is where mini apps live.

Inside conversations:

  • Mini apps are discovered organically

  • Trading happens in real time

  • Money moves instantly

  • Groups coordinate, play, and build together

For users, this feels natural—everything happens where conversations already are.

For builders, it unlocks an entirely new programmable surface area: the group chat.

Instead of fighting for attention in an app store, apps spread through the group social graph, shared directly in conversations.


Agents Live Natively in Chat

Base App brings agents directly into the chat.

Add @Bankr to a group chat and you can:

  • Send money instantly to everyone in the group

  • Launch a token with friends

  • Discover and interact with prediction markets

Agents aren’t external tools anymore, they’re first-class participants in the chat—able to read context, take action, and move value seamlessly.

Bankr was part of 20,000+ DMs and Group chats in the Base App during beta.


Discover Mini Apps

Mini apps in Base App run inside conversations.

They can be:

  • Opened directly from chat

  • Shared with a group in one tap

  • Used collaboratively, in real time

Users never leave the conversation and discovery is social by default.

Instead of links getting lost or apps fighting for installs, mini apps meet users exactly where they already are—inside their trusted groups.


XMTP is Chat You Can Build On

All of this is powered by XMTP, the decentralized messaging protocol securing Base Chat.

That means:

  • End-to-end, quantum-resistant encrypted group chats

  • Open, decentralized messaging infrastructure

  • Identity-agnostic access via passkeys

  • Built from day one for agents and apps

Privacy isn’t a feature you opt into.

It’s the default.

Messaging shouldn’t depend on trusting a single company. XMTP makes privacy a protocol guarantee—not a promise.
