Who's providing the most high-quality, thesis-driven crypto research today?
I'm building a 'High-Signal' list and want to include the best emerging voices.
pls tag them below.
None of this is advice. Just an observation from spending time on @base.
The AI narrative is heating up again, and a lot of it is showing up in infrastructure before it shows up in price. If you’re paying attention to what’s getting built, this feels like one of those moments you get to front-run quietly.
Here are some of the AI-related projects on Base that you need on your radar asap.
👇
When @jessepollak announced @base transitioning to trading, we were excited to say the least - but at the same time we knew that we need to put our A game on.
here's everything @avantisfi has shipped since the announcement:
→ Scaled global markets liquidity (Trade metals, bluechip FX with deep liquidity)
→ Improved platform performance, reducing trading times by 10x
→ Working with over 7 regions - educating, trading about avantis & @baseapp
Over 5 new integrators building on top of Avantis SDKs
→ Hosted premiere trading competitions in Malaysia, Phuket, India with the base trading community.
→ Scaled Avantis mini-app to the top trading app on base.
→ Crossed $4.6B in volume in the last couple of weeks.
→ Closed out a 4-week educational competition for traders.
Avantis is built on base, literally even before base mainnet was live.
We're built to be beginner friendly, and unlock access to markets beyond crypto that everyone inherently can relate to.
Avantis will be a daily use product for everyone in the base ecosystem. First slowly, then all at once.
TOP 8 CLANKERS ON @BASE BY MARKET CAP.
w/ tickers, twitters, market caps, and descriptions.
#1 - $BNKR ($38.4M) - the token for @bankrbot, the original AI crypto banker, an agent that talks, trades & researches across your wallets, with both a terminal and in-feed assistant on X that users can prompt to transact
#2 - $CLANKER ($27.7M) - the token for @clanker_world, the dominant AI-powered token launcher for Base and other EVM chains which allows people to deploy, earn fees, and build token-based communities
#3 - $CLAWD ($20.7M) - the token for @clawdbotatg, the ai agent developed by @austingriffith, one of the @ethereum's most respected contributors via the @ethereumfndn
#4 - $DRB ($12.5M) - the first instance of an AI system (@grok) directly initiating the creation of a token, which has now generated $1M+ in fees for @grok and has a community led by @MLeeJr saying "grok has money"
#5 - $NOICE ($4.9M) - the token deployed by the elite @noicedotso team of @heettike, @0xdiv, @srijancse, & co. which began with a viral tipping product and has since launched a like-to-buy agent (@noiceagent) and selective crypto-native startup launchpad, winners of Base Batches #001
#6 - $BRACKY ($2.9M) - the token for @BrackyHQ, the world's #1 AI sports agent which allows fans to buy and sell outcomes in the social feed, transforming feeds into live sports markets, powered by the fans, making sports prediction markets more fun for everyone
#7 - $FARTCOIN ($1.9M) - self-explanatory memecoin by @fartcoinbase
#8 - $QR ($1.4M) - the token for @qrcoindotfun aka "the onchain attention machine" which runs a daily auction for attention where the winner determines the link that the QR points to for a day and users can claim $QR every day just for checking out the winning link; an attempt to create a token that solves the problem of fleeting attention, instead compounding it by driving it to something new every day, potentially resulting in a token that never gets old and, therefore, never dies
Overall, it's an app-forward, ai-forward, quality builder-forward list, and I'm glad that $QR is on it and rising.
There are several quality projects filling out the rest of the top 25 as well.
If this ecosystem catches a bid, it could be bananas.
One day at a time, more work to be done.
