A lesson you only learn after shipping a lot of consumer products.
We built @ripsapp as a mini-app on @baseapp and @farcaster_xyz first, because we wanted to reach a crypto native audience in the most efficient way possible.
Last 30 days on BASE App:
• ~26K transacting users
• ~340k+ onchain transactions
• Clear first-time → returning user lift
This has resulted in nearly $2M USDC in pack sales over the past 4 months (app was live on Farcaster first).
Now that $RIPS has a real core community, the next step is obvious:
a standalone web app to expand top-of-funnel and to bring users and $RIPS holders with us.
Mini-apps aren’t small ideas.
They’re how consumer crypto apps should be born, tested, and iterated on to find PMF.
The path is always hard, whatever chain you’re on.
What matters is whether users show up… and come back.

Shoutout to Brian, Jesse, Dan and Varun - let’s keep building…. 🛠️🛠️
As crypto continues to mature, the next wave of adoption will flow towards the most complete ecosystems.
@base has been leading the charge for this, by scaling its technical capability and growing a strong native flywheel.
2026 will be year for Base - https://t.co/FXpDdAbuSg
A new month rolls in, and with it comes that familiar on-chain itch to explore what’s next.
There are certain things to watch out for, which are:
- New chains go live.
- Fresh campaigns drop.
Rewards quietly stack up in the background. While others are just moving assets, Orbiter pilots are catching $OBT airdrops, USDT prizes, and fee subsidies along the way
It’s not about doing more, it’s about moving smarter.
So where does your next bridge take you?

In our 2025 State of the Industry Report, @cXmac3do (@0xplay_network) acknowledges the "thousand failures" that defined the experimental era of Web3 gaming.
It was a painful but necessary path to maturity. 📉
So what's the consensus for 2026? Stop building for the chart and start using blockchain, AI, and stablecoins to fix what’s broken in Web2. 🛠️✨
We’ve moved from "crypto-first" to "fun-first." The substance era has arrived. 🚀

Ik besprak het box 3-plan op BNR.
Het is tragisch:
- Nederlanders zouden meer moeten beleggen
- Europa heeft meer risicokapitaal nodig
Wat doet onze regering?
Een box 3-plan dat ongerealiseerde, papieren winst belast.
(1) Een probleem voor illiquide beleggingen zoals aandelen in private bedrijven, aandelen in langlopende fondsen, goudstaven en beleggingskunst
(2) Een probleem voor volatiele beleggingen (= de meeste aandelen). Er zullen mensen failliet belast worden.
(3) Een veel hoger tarief dan internationaal gebruikelijke capital gains tax van rond de 20%.
(4) Raakt alleen de middenklasse, want iedereen met serieus vermogen vlucht naar box 2.
Een plan dat risico nemen straft en beleggen ontmoedigt.
Een plan dat bergen aan rechtszaken, vluchtroutes en dramatische verhalen zal voortbrengen.
Honderdduizenden onnodige uren aan fiscalisten, accountants, notarissen, adviseurs - die het toch al druk hebben.
Iedereen: “we moeten de regeldruk en complexiteit verminderen”
Nederland: “hier, meer regeldruk en complexiteit”
En waarom?
Padafhankelijkheid. We zijn hier door een onwaarschijnlijke reeks gebeurtenissen terecht gekomen, en nu durft de Tweede Kamer eigenlijk niet meer nee te zeggen.
Ongekend.

AVAX One (NASDAQ: AVX) has launched its first public validator node on Avalanche, enabling staking delegation and active participation in network security.
The move shifts AVAX One from a passive $AVAX holder to an institutional validator, using enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure to generate revenue via validation fees and delegation rewards.
The launch reinforces Avalanche’s growing institutional traction, alongside pending staking enabled AVAX ETF proposals from VanEck, Bitwise, and Grayscale.
