nice to see @base cruising at 550 TPS

the chain can now burst up to 5K TPS, with a bunch more headroom coming in the months ahead now that we're on our own stack post-Azul

team has been doing an incredible job scaling

We've raised $65 billion in Series H funding at a $965 billion post-money valuation, led by @AltimeterCap, Dragoneer, @Greenoaks, and @sequoia.

This investment will help us advance our research and expand our capacity to meet growing demand for Claude.

@TheOneandOmsy simple historical performance would be a good place to start

What it takes to make everything tradable

Brian spoke with the founders of @opal_dex during Base Batches about the complexities of making it possible

[sfranks.base.eth @sfrankel9]

still have a lot of work to do, but exciting to see base's progress and current adoption in core onchain categories:

Trading: #1 in BTC & ETH spot volume
USD Payments: #1 in monthly USDC transfer volume
Non-USD Payments: #1 in non-USD stablecoin transfer volume
Agentic Payments: #1 in real x402 volume
Lending: #2 in lending TVL

onwards

[Daniel Bronheim @BronheimDaniel]

The early stage builder ecosystem on Base is thriving. Batches 003 clearly shows this.

Agentic commerce, prediction markets, x402, uncollateralized credit, onchain FX, neobanking. And that's just scratching the surface.

Founders are choosing Base because the critical mass of builders and primitives here creates real composability and network effects. Every new app makes the others more useful. Layer on top of that our unique distribution, institutional grade infrastructure, low cost, high speed and the case is pretty clear.

We are doubling down on this at Base Ecosystem Fund.

We're investing in the best founders in crypto building on Base with the goal of making it the home for global finance. If you're building here or thinking about it, we want to support you.

Base batches team @ForecastFDN adds a leverage layer to prediction markets. Traders can amplify small probability moves into real trades. LPs can earn yield from that leverage demand. I can see this really taking off.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

One of the toughest parts of being a founder is putting your ideas into the world, seeing if anyone cares (usually they don't - or worse, are rooting against you), and then seeing if you can actually pull it off (usually way more setbacks along the way than you thought!).

You have to:
(1) develop thick skin and find a way to ignore the haters
(2) still take advice from people who have your best interests at heart
(3) have the wisdom to know the difference

Then move from one setback to the next with no loss of enthusiasm for longer than you thought. Be borderline delusional, get after it every day for a decade, and turn out to be right. Finally, when your tenth or hundredth approach to a problem doesn't work, just keep coming up with more ideas.

Had a great day at Base Batches yesterday, meeting founders building on @base and hearing about the latest onchain innovations. Shout out to all the founders!

Uncollateralized lending is coming to Base in a major way. Excited to see @credifi scale this up!

[Xen @XenBH]

Personal loans take weeks at a bank. @credifi is doing it onchain in minutes using usdc and @base. Very impressive team from base batches.

[eric.base.eth @0xEricBrown]

great thread of all of the awesome base batches projects

[Jeremy Grinberg @jeremygrinberg]

Game time.

[Daniel Bronheim @BronheimDaniel]

Base Batches 003 absolutely crushed it 💪

[Abhi Raheja @abhihereandnow]

maybe the real treasure was the friends we made along the way!

Grateful for new connections and friendships from Base Batches 003.

[Daniel Bronheim @BronheimDaniel]

Nothing gets me more bulled up than spending time with early stage founders in a bear market 🫡
