I have yet to make a post about the Okay Bears community mining a bitcoin:native block, so here it is:
I have been talking about bringing Base together through proof-of-work for a while now. How it can bring liquidity that wasn't on Base before, how it can generate massive amounts of free marketing to communities outside of Base, and how it scales as more people join the pool.
Well... now we have some proof of what this does for a community like Okay Bears (a Solana community that I had never heard of until this past weekend).
On Engagement/Marketing:
Their account's bitcoin block post got 134k views, 680 likes, 220 reposts, and 160 comments. Many of those people have probably never heard of Okay Bears prior to 11/7/26.
Just looking at their other recent posts before that block they averaged around 6k views, 90 likes, 15 reposts, and 10 comments.
You can do the math but that is a massive influx of views from hitting one block and you could be seeing that influx of engagement if you are on Base, participate in the Base Mining Pool, and then we hit a block!
On Liquidity:
Okay Bears NFT holders each got paid $145/NFT that had been staked.
While the mechanics will look a little different for the Based Mining Pool and Base as a whole, can you imagine what $145 to each of your community members would do for your project? My guess is that some of that $145 would flow right back into your project - enhancing your volume, liquidity, and users' activity immediately.
How it scales:
I can't speak to the Okay Bears model, so will focus on the Based Mining Pool here.
If the Base pool were to hit a block, new miners would flood the hybrid pool immediately. That influx would take our hash rate into the consistent PH range where we would start to improve our odds of a block from an expectation of years/block (outside of the block parties), to months/block. That means liquidity injections and free marketing would happen at a quicker rate every time we hit a block - creating an external flywheel for Base and your project that would only increase as the pool grows.
If you are on Base - I am happy to talk to you about this in the comments/DMs/Spaces, answer questions you might have, and help you get set up to benefit like Okay Bears if you have any interest in my posts on Bitcoin.
I believe bitcoin mining is the missing piece on Base and want to help all open-minded communities get their share of the payout and marketing when we hit that first block!
Stay Based
If you are on base and ever wondered about mining a bitcoin block. Reach out.
My DMs are open.
@DegenCapitalVC DMs are open and he can probably explain better than myself.
We will hit a block from @base soon. Ride andget paid. Dont cope.
