Brandon shares his wild journey in crypto, from his early days to getting onboarded on Avalanche.
Went through 2017 bull, DeFi summer, NFTs, even tried Friend tech… but one scroll into Stars Arena (now Arena) on Avalanche and he never looked back.
“That level of magnetism and excitement was next level. I just walked fully in.”
Brandon: Why AVAX is still missing its killer onboarding moment and what it actually needs to pull in real users
"I'm not seeing many frontline innovative platforms that would drive people to the chain, because they are first movers. I'm seeing a lot more copies"
"I think the Arena has potential for that"
"There's also not a lot of places you can put money"
Hey Basemate community
I’ve been getting support requests everywhere: DMs, side chats, group mentions. Some are about Basemate, but a many are about Base App and XMTP as well.
So I set up Basemate Support on Base App chats.
Found a bug or something not working? Just tell Basemate, he picks up the intent and sends you a one-tap invite to join the Basemate Support group.
This isn’t an official Base support channel. It’s our community channel for Basemate users, one place to drop issues instead of chasing me across apps.
I’m a Based Developer Ambassador, so I’m always happy to point you in the right direction. I’m also around for XMTP questions and can help get you connected when it’s messaging-related.
I’m here for the Basemate community. If I can help on Basemate, Base App, or XMTP let’s run it.

Bill discusses Onchain Privacy with @Veilnet_
Veilnet is shipping the infrastructure for private onchain finance.
'Your wallet is a glass house. Everyone can see inside balances, Swaps, When you trade, What AI you use. All public onchain.'
'Bad actors read it. Bots front-run it. Your whole financial life is an open book.'
'We built a privacy ecosystem to fix that. Encrypted balances. Encrypted swaps. Hide what you want, onchain.'
Mateo opens up about his life before Crypto
'I was homeless on Skid Row, Dropped out of high school. Addictions. Living on the streets for a decade'
'Got a 9-month scholarship for treatment. Started working there. Started saving. Started learning to build.'
'Walked into Basecamp 001, heard Jesse speak, met the builders and that was it!'
Justin gives a detailed walkthrough of how NormalFi works

Mateo breaks down why social trading beats trading alone and how Basemate makes social trading seemless
'Now you can connect your trading feed straight into any group chat. Drop a link from Base trading feed into a Base chat with Basemate and instantly get:
-Full token analysis

Mateo shares the story behind building Basemate
'Basemate was Originally created as a quick onboarding tool for a DeFi team at the Base booth, it exploded during the event, onboarding 1,700 attendees and growing to 16,000 users with assets in wallet through wallet-to-wallet messaging.'
'After the event, we turned it into a full framework so agents could keep helping people discover communities and interests.'
'That same tech now powers Basemate on Base. an intent-based social graph built for discovery and connection.'
