In 2024, we have a new mission: To build a global onchain economy that increases innovation, creativity, and freedom

This is the bedrock of our actions and aspirations as we work to bring the world onchain

We’re building a new internet, and a new economyImage
We now think about Base as an economy composed of three parts

① A developer platform (Base as the underlying infrastructure)

② An app ecosystem (all the apps that are built on Base)

③ A capital market (users and liquidity flowing through the apps—e.g. ETH, USDC) Image
With this new mission in hand, here's the strategy for the year ahead: Image

Onchain Summer may be over, but the momentum on Base is just getting started

The Base Ecosystem Fund, led by @cbventures, was launched to invest in the next generation of onchain projects

Today, we’re sharing our first six investments

We shared our Base Request for Builders earlier this year, and we’re grateful for the passion and effort we saw across the 800+ applications submitted

We're delighted to work with these teams on our shared mission to bring the world onchain

@avantisfinance is an oracle-based AMM where users can go long and short with leverage and earn yield by providing USDC liquidity

We're fans of their simple design (USDC only) and thoughtfulness around risk management (tranches and flexible locking)

2/ Since our testnet launch, we've been overwhelmed by the response and the incredible projects that are being built on Base.

We can’t wait to see more builders join teams like @blackbird_xyz @thirdweb @ParallelTCG & @oakcurrency who are showing what’s possible onchain. Image
3/ The Base testnet has been live since 2/23 and we’ve been diligently working towards mainnet.

This includes auditing our codebase and infrastructure, load testing for scalability, supporting @optimismFND’s upgrade to Bedrock, and ensuring a top-notch developer experience.
