Base

This Week on Base: Brand reimagining, QR auctions, onchain newsletters, and microtransactions

e're reshaping the Base brand. Not from the top down, but from the ground up. With artists. With builders. With you. Now, we’re sharing the first step. We started with building blocks. Blank canvases. Pixels to push. We took the shape that holds all of those things—a square—and asked 10 artists to reimagine Base from their point of view. In the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing the progress, inspiration, and ideas behind what’s next. The first case study: Discovery, is now live...

Crypto GTM Isn’t Rocket Science. It’s DMs, Vision, and 10 People Who Care

I wanted to write this short GTM guide for founders for a long time. Over past three years I've collected bits and pieces on pretty much every aspect of it and it turned out that there are several major themes that hold early teams back in GTM. One being, they just overthink ...

Still Day 1? Not for All of Us.

Setting the StageThere’s a phrase we all love to repeat in crypto: “It’s still Day 1.” And sure, when it comes to the grand arc of this industry — the tech, the innovation, the vision — that statement is true. But for some of us? It’s not Day 1 anymore. It’s the 7th inning, and time is running out.What Went DownLately I’ve been thinking a lot about the difference between the funded and the freelancers in Web3.Yes, we’re still early. Yes, the future of crypto looks bright. But some of us are t...

Just in Time: Product-Market Squint

Product-Market Fit is a term used to describe when the offering a business has meets a market of customers. Most founders will never truly achieve it, instead, they get close and call it good enough - this is the “Product-Market Squint”. Let’s examine the original thoughts and how to adapt them to today.“Product Market Fit. That mythical unicorn all startups spend tireless nights and weekends toiling over greasy keyboards and greasier food.”I first wrote that on March 30, 2017. Has much chang...

Ecosystem-wide collaboration on public goods value capture

We’re starting an ecosystem-wide initiative to realize value capture for public goods. Why value capture? Public goods funding without value capture is like funding car production with cookie sales; if you want more cars produced you need to sell more cookies — this doesn’t scale. PGF with value capture however is like funding car production with car sales; the more cars you sell the more you can produce — it scales! Yet today every public goods funding platform in web3 relies on external sou...

On Network Cartography

A recurring frustration in modern discourse: the inability to see the system. Not the parts, not the actors, not the symptoms, the system itself. When tech journalists obsess over Elon Musk’s latest stunt, when pundits trade blame over who radicalized whom, when legacy institutions collapse in public view and all we do is tweet emojis about it—we’re reacting to surface ripples. We’re not tracing the currents underneath. To act intelligently, you need an influence map - a network map. A way of...

Year of the ZAO - DAY 150

Today’s reminder comes from The Four Agreements: “Be impeccable with your word.” That doesn’t just mean keeping promises to others — it also means cutting the self-talk that drips with blame and judgment. Being impeccable includes how you speak to yourself when you mess up.

The Unwritten Rules of Warpcast: Avoiding Spam Labels (V3)

It's time to stop being polite and start being real. Farcaster is a super cool open protocol, but Warpcast, the main client 95% of us use to engage with it, is a closed sandbox with a lot of unwritten rules and culture that you have to figure out to do well. 91% of you failed to figure it out and got a spam label and now you are invisible. No one see your tags. Only your followers see your casts. Few people see your replies. You feel ignored and don't know how to get out of this purgatory. Yo...

attention is all you need (?)

wip thoughts on attention markets, memecoins, and hyperreality (originally published February 2025) In the early 1920s, the A.C. Nielsen Company was founded to measure sales performance in the consumer market. In the 1930s, Nielsen began tracking radio audiences, and then TV audiences in the 1950s. Nielsen ratings became the de facto standard for live TV viewership metrics. These ratings didn’t just measure audiences, they shaped the burgeoning media landscape. Ad prices, programming decision.

Market Sizing: TAM/SAM/SOM

TAM, SAM, SOM: these funny acronyms are critical to any founder, but especially to a Vibe Founder. While most businesses aren't "venture scale", every one of them has to make decisions that support their survival and longevity. Before we worry about WHAT, we must think about WHO we're serving, the problems they have, and the value they attribute to solutions. Vibe Founders have many different goals:Making enough to support yourself and your passionsBuilding a small team and business to suppor...

Guiding Principles: Arrowheads are people pursuing ambitious creative projects—projects that begin as ideas, and grow through community support and shared belief. We're building crowdfunding mechanisms tailored for creative builders. At the core: anti-rug protections that support both backers and new creators. You might think anti-rug mechanics are just for protecting backers. But they're also creator-friendly—especially for new builders. They make it possible to get funded not by clout or repu.

#10 — BRND

While traditional brands have established their worth beyond physical assets, many emerging brands in Web3 still rely heavily on token prices and community engagement. At FLOC*, we've developed BRND, a comprehensive platform that consolidates brand data and facilitates user-driven assessments through organized repositories, a decentralized scoring system, and gamified engagement.
