Things I'm interested in today: (08.18.2025) (Base edition) Going to switch it up a little bit today...we're just highlighting projects on Base that have piqued my curiosity. Generally speaking I think Base is going to be a MASSIVE player for the next few years w/ the full institutional support from CB and the social blitz capability of Jesse's team....which means imo there will be great money spots. I enjoy writing broader market thoughts, but I also want some of these to be much more actionable and that requires specifics - so we're talking very specific projects/small ecos today....here we go! ____________________________________________ - @zed_champions - It's a rebirth of ZedRun which many oldhead NFT ppl are familiar with. They relaunched a new gameloop and token model on Base a while back. I have some horses, I have some Zed. What really makes me interested here though is they are running an awareness campaign with Fantasy this week - I hope to see some really good UGC around best practices/most efficient ways to play bc I just don't have the bandwidth to dive into a complex economy. Keeping eyes open for really great content/guides. - @flaunchgg - Basically the main platform utilizing Uni v4 hooks atm. A number of ppl have launched ideas/tools/experiments using Flaunch now, and the buyback+rev share+creator earnings model they have built into token launches is really good. Liquidity is a bit low for most of these because there just aren't many people using v4 yet, but I think this is a place to be both aware of and curious about. I bought some Flaunch coins this weekend. Send them with haste. - Bankr - One of the most interesting DeFAI projects that emerged over the last year. Mfer community fully supports. Devs are cracked. They keep shipping new stuff weekly. Listed on CB a few weeks back...feels like when Base alts really start to get a bid, $66m will feel pretty cheap. - Virtuals new launch model - it *just* released, so I'm looking into the details, but it seems they're going with a tiered approach that scales based on demand (and seeds more liquidity at higher tiers)...favorite part about that team is they have so much runway that they can experiment with stuff and just try to figure out what works well...and they keep doing it.
