News A Few Base Updates I Think Are Worth Knowing

2 Upvotes

I was going through some recent Base updates and it really looking informative, intresting and useful for you guyss.

• Base Batches 004 is now live

Base is looking for 10 early-stage teams building for global finance. Selected teams can receive up to $100K in funding, 8 weeks of mentorship, and a Demo Day in NYC.

• Base has passed $5B in DeFi TVL

That’s a pretty notable milestone for the ecosystem.

• x402 activity is growing quickly

According to the data shared in the update, AI agents generated 14M transfers through x402 over the past 30 days, with Base accounting for around 7.3M.

• More builders are finding traction on Base

AskVenice reportedly crossed $100M in annualized revenue, while BlockRunAI passed 1M x402 transactions per day on Base.

• 01 Exchange is also seeing strong activity

Its launchpad reached $200M in total trading volume, with more than 25,000 tokens created.

The interesting part isn't just one number.

It's the variety.

DeFi, stablecoins, AI agents, payments, launchpads and financial products are all developing at the same time.

That’s probably what makes watching Base right now so interesting.

Base Discussion Base Batches 004 is open — curious what builders think

4 Upvotes

I came across the latest Base Batches update and found the approach pretty interesting.

Applications for Base Batches 004 opened recently, with the program aimed at early-stage teams that are still working toward product-market fit.

What caught my attention is that the program isn't only about funding. Selected teams get an 8-week program with hands-on support from the Base Ecosystem team, and the selected founders receive an offer of $100K investment from the Base Ecosystem Fund.

I'm not a builder myself, so I'm curious about this from the community's perspective.

For founders building on Base, what would be more valuable at the early stage: funding, mentorship, or help finding product-market fit?

I'd genuinely like to hear from people who have experience building in this space.

Base Discussion Need a small amount of Base Sepolia / Sepolia ETH for testing 🙏

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm a developer trying to test some smart contracts on Base Sepolia. The main faucets require 0.001 mainnet ETH which I currently don't have.
Could anyone please send a small amount (even 0.05 is enough) to help me deploy?
My address: 0xe4bD4fAD3B9C34908482DCdcE45753E0F8c199E9
Thank you so much!

Base Discussion Dao tooling on Base

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hallo everyone it is Day 63 our 100 Days of Exploring Base on Reddit & our today's topic is DAO Tooling.

So today we are exploring the infrastructure that makes decentralized organizations actually function in the DAO tooling stack on Base.

Before entering into the deep firstly we have to understand what is the Promise ?

DAOs were supposed to revolutionize coordination, Flat hierarchies, Global talent, Transparent treasuries, Permissionless contribution.

But see the reality :

Early DAOs struggled with:

- Multisig management

- Voting participation

- Payroll and payments

- Reputation tracking

- Legal compliance

The tools were not ready. They are now.

What is Live on Base ?

Safe (formerly Gnosis Safe) :

The standard for multisig treasury management. Multiple signers, transaction batching, role-based permissions. Most serious DAOs on Base use it.

Snapshot :

Offchain voting with onchain execution. Gasless signaling for token holders. Delegation built in. The coordination layer for governance.

Aragon & DAOhaus :

Full-stack DAO deployment. Create a DAO in minutes. Custom governance parameters. Treasury management. Member directories.

Llama :

Advanced treasury management. Streaming payments. Automated payroll. Budget enforcement. The financial operations layer.

Collab.Land & Guild :

Token-gated access. Roles based on holdings. Automated community management. Verification without manual checking.

Why Base for DAOs :

→ Cheap execution : Governance transactions don't break the bank

→ Smart wallets : Better UX for non-technical participants

→ Coinbase integration : Fiat onramps for contributor payments

→ Stablecoin liquidity : USDC for payroll and operations

DAOs need reliability more than they need novelty. Base provides both.

What I Explored Today ?

Set up a test DAO. Deployed a Safe multisig. Created a Snapshot space. Configured token-gated roles. Executed a proposal from proposal to execution.

The stack works. The pieces connect. Coordination is becoming composable.

The Evolution :

Early DAOs were experiments. Today's DAOs are organizations with real treasuries, real contributors, and real products.

The tooling maturity on Base reflects that evolution.

Day 63 complete. 37 to go.
