🧵1/ The emerging NFT<>DeFi narrative. Maybe alpha.
GM|GN. Today, and occasionally in the future, I'll update y’all about what we're doing at @b0rder1ess on behalf of the team members.
NFTs are a young and rapidly developing part of the Web3 industry, and lately, we've seen many new interesting tools and innovations.
We see great potential and interest in topics like EIP-6551 and various NFTFi solutions. We hope to contribute to the development of this market as well.
In this thread, I'd like to focus in detail on liquidity issues.
$BASE at $40B FDV looks ridiculous until you model the mechanism
It's the stack Coinbase built around it: Coinbase-scale distribution through the Base App, ~$4B in onchain USDC liquidity now plugged into Visa settlement, $78M in sequencer revenue last year.
Looks like a solid start for a flywheel.
And then there's x402. Coinbase wrote it, the payment standard agents actually use - then handed it to the Linux Foundation so nobody owns it, not even them. Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, Google, and AWS all in. And ~85% of it still clears on base.
Does the token capture any of this?
$ARB and $OP don't pass sequencer fees through to holders and trade like it.
$HYPE routes 99% of fees into buybacks and sits at a $54B FDV.
Same exact question. Base just hasn't picked a lane yet, which is the whole trade.
~$15-20B if the token gets real fee-share or a staking sink and Base stays the only profitable L2 at scale.
$40B if the regulatory thaw lets @Base run actual buybacks, x402 becomes THE agentic settlement layer, agentic dollar volume 10x’s off its ~$600M base, and Coinbase funnels its users straight into the token.
Aggressive, but it's also half what $BNB trades at, and BNB doesn't own payment rails.
Watch 2 things - the token gets a buyback or fee-share mechanism and real agentic dollar volume grows.
Hit all two and $40B is the conversation.
📊Agentic economy inside Clash of Coins is picking up fast.
x402 transaction volume keeps climbing week over week. Agents are becoming part of the game economy ahead of the full Agentic Mode launch.
This is what organic adoption looks like before the switch is flipped.

Built on OVERRIDE.
x402 rails, agent orchestration, agentic economy layer — all scaling on @Base.
Every transaction and every step of adoption strengthens the $OWB ecosystem.
Agent activity is clustering around @Base
And x402 is making the payment layer more real.
Introducing Agentic Dune Dashboard V2.
We refreshed the dashboard across the board - updated older datasets, tightened up existing views, and made the whole thing cleaner and easier to work with.
We also added Agentic Gaming - an early category of games built for AI agents, where autonomous systems operate through real tokens and verifiable onchain logic.
All of that now sits on top of an existing view across Base Agentic, Base vs Solana, and broader onchain agent activity - making agent behavior easier to read, compare, and verify.
As real usage forms around actual rails, observability matters more.

AaaS - Agentic as a Service.
OWB Studio is an AI-native team - we’ve felt the compounding effect firsthand: faster build cycles, faster rollouts, faster iteration in production.
So we started where the fruit hangs highest - an agentic layer for live games.
And GameFi here isn’t “financialization”. It’s the only scalable way for autonomous agents to interact economically - onchain.
Fun-first, autonomous, always-on.
