This Week on Base: Onchain sculptures, offline identity, Ethereum’s newest upgrade, and memes from FarCon

Base

Base

Collective creativity, onchain

What happens when you turn creativity into a living, breathing, onchain experiment?

Enter Monolith, a dynamic onchain sculpture that’s part collaborative prompt machine, part social contract, and part marketplace. It invites anyone, anywhere, to co-create and shape something new together.

This is the kind of collective experiment that only works onchain, and it’s opening the door to new forms of digital expression.


Identity without the internet

Always-on connectivity isn’t a guarantee. That’s where OfflineID comes in:

  • An identity layer that works peer-to-peer, with zero internet or cell service.

  • Portable, resilient, and designed for places the cloud can’t reach.

In a world where networks fail or just don’t exist, OfflineID makes sure identity and connection stay alive.

FarCon + Boys Club: The Base Loft comes to life

Last week at FarCon, the Base Loft transformed into a hub for onchain explorers. New apps. New ideas. New ways of thinking about what the onchain future looks like.

Boys Club joined the party and asked the only question that really matters: What’s your favorite meme?


Ethereum just leveled up — and so did Base

The Pectra upgrade just went live on Ethereum, and the ripple effects are already transforming Base and the entire Optimism Superchain. What does this mean for you?

  • Smarter wallets → fewer clicks, smoother transactions, and a simpler experience across the board.

  • 2x blob capacity → lower fees, even when your favorite apps start to blow up with traffic.

This is one of those “under the hood” moments that unlocks big improvements across the ecosystem. Faster, cheaper, and easier to be onchain.


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.
