Stage 1 Decentralization is here

We're building the foundation needed to bring everyone, everywhere onchain. This week we announced that Base is now at Stage 1 Decentralization. We achieved this by launching permissionless fault proofs and increasing the decentralization of our contract upgrade process with a security council.

This is part of the process of creating a truly global economy that increases innovation, creativity, and freedom. PS: Creative Office coined a behind-the-scenes look at their work.

Imagine an AI that can actually read the chain

Ready for an onchain copilot? Senpi is a new AI that tracks portfolios, reads market sentiment, automates buys + sells, and stays up to date with real-time data.

It's time to tap into onchain intelligence.

Truth meets prediction markets

The internet made it easy to share information. It also made it easy to lie. Factcheck is a new onchain app where anyone can challenge a headline, open a market, and get rewarded for being right. (Only available outside the US).

The internet made publishing free; it never got around to the cost of being wrong. It's time to fix that, onchain.

A new way to post and earn

An onchain internet changes how creators get paid. Paperview is a mini app that lets you post what you want, set a price, and get paid in USDC when fans unlock it.

A new way to earn from social, made simple.

FarCon + a new Coinbase Wallet Beta

Farcaster held it's third annual decentralized conference, this time in Brooklyn — and Base showed up with a rebuilt Coinbase Wallet.

The new Coinbase Wallet is officially in early limited beta.

We’ve rebuilt it from the ground up to bring social and apps to the front, to create a space where everyone can post, share, earn, and explore.

All in one place. All onchain.

Social content and mini apps take center stage, and attendees got early access. Weren't there in person? Join the waitlist.

As always, this is just a slice of what’s happening onchain. Around the world, people are building, creating, and reshaping what the internet can be — and it's happening on Base.
