last week, i launched my first onchain app, Booped, on @base
and @farcaster - it's been crazy seeing the community show up and play with it 💙

i've been building Booped in public, so i want to share its metrics publicly too - to encourage more small builders to put their work out there. transparency helps us all grow ✨

for any @base builders interested in tracking your app’s performance, dm me - i’ll personally help you set up your own application page

you can use it to track metrics, showcase growth, and even share with other builders/investors

i’ll do a deeper dive into Booped’s performance and my key learnings in another tweet, but for now, here’s the link to my app’s metrics: 👇

Booped mini app just got even better for @farcaster users!!

✨ New features
👉 sign in with your Farcaster account
👉 search for Farcaster frens
👉 booping on Frames now displays a Farcaster badge next to the user’s pfp

i'm trying to integrate Booped frame into Farcaster more to make the experience more seamless. would love to hear any feedback you all have (i.e. enabling notifications)

now that @jessepollak has booped…

the real question is how many boops can we send him before he returns?

i officially declare this a full-scale boop stress test

https://booped.xyz
/Base
wow, the Boop frame is #2 on @warpcast @farcaster !! 😭😭

can we send it to #1 ??

let's get everyone on the boop boop train 🚂🌬️

UPDATE: Boop is now a frame on @farcaster!

boop frens onchain straight from warpcast

because your warpcast frens deserve boops too

the internet used to be fun.

let's bring back pointless, nostalgic internet games like the early internet days

so i built 👉 Boop: an onchain version of facebook pokes, built on @base

booped.xyz

onchain frens don't let frens go unbooped

the vision for onbase.dev has always been simple:

make onchain @base data fun and accessible for everyone

how based are we today?

stablecoin supply on @base breaks all-time high of $3.8 billion 📈

we saw supply averaging around $3.5 billion for the last few months

but it's steadily grown 10% over the past month

super based

regardless of your opinion towards @jessepollak's onboarding strategy, the data speaks for itself:

@base user retention numbers are crushing it

base maintains ~15% retention. for context, most chains lose 85%+ of users after month 1 and drop to 3-8%

but here's where it gets interesting: base users are actually coming BACK around month 9-10, a "revival" pattern pushing retention back up to 19%

onboarding the masses isn't just about getting users in the door - it's about giving them a reason to stick around

and base's "build for normies" approach is clearly doing something right

there's no way that only 49 stores in the world accept usdc on @base

if you know any stores we're missing, let me know and i'll add them today

update: just added warpcast @base community channels to the usdc world map 🌎

now you can find local @base communities in countries where you want to see usdc adoption

let's build the biggest global adoption map!!!!!
1. vote for your country
2. connect with base builders in your local community

thank you @base and for rewarding builders like me ❤️

in light of the devastating fires affecting los angeles (home 🥺) i've donated my full rewards to DirectRelief via @TheGivingBlock

the ability to instantly direct crypto to crisis relief shows how onchain can help build a better world

getting rewarded for building cool shit feels amazing

and i love how building can also empower direct impact when it matters most

thanks to everyone who's contributed so far!

top 3 countries with highest demand for usdc adoption on @base:

🇺🇸 united states
🇯🇵 japan
🇦🇷 argentina

thoughts on the results so far:
> not surprised about 🇺🇸 united states given it's a huge epicenter of crypto innovation
> also not surprised about 🇦🇷 argentina given its economic uncertainty and high inflation - usdc would be a vital tool for wealth preservation
> i was surprised to see 🇯🇵 japan come in as #2 given its traditionally conservative financial market

let's keep building this map! add the countries where you want to spend usdc in below 👉 onbase.dev/map
/Base
i upgraded the usdc world map on @base to help onboard more businesses by showing where demand is highest to drive local adoption

you can help shape usdc adoption by voting for countries where you want to spend usdc in ☕

would love for you to try it out 👉 onbase.dev/map

🔵 based builders, if one of your new years resolutions is to level up your crypto portfolio, i’ve got something that’ll make tracking way easier

i built a free google sheet template that gives you a real-time dashboard of your entire portfolio - both crypto and stonks in one view

it's powered by @artemisxyz free google sheets plugin that pulls live onchain + market data

🔵 link to the free template: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kDFnOqbjK6ifOjTHbTzECCXwemlhVwohAbs_Es8n9ho/edit?gid=1144093712#gid=1144093712

it's my final update for 2024 on monthly stablecoin transfer volumes on @base

here's to an even higher 2025 🥂

it's incredible to see just how much @base has come to dominate the stablecoin space in just 1 year

on jan 1, 2024 - @base accounted for < 1% of total stablecoin transfer volume

fast forward to today, it now represents 24% of total transfer volume

i'm excited to see how this chart evolves over 2025

this is the current state of our stablecoins marketmap at the end of 2024

i can't wait to revisit this at the end of 2025 to see how much it grows

just in the last 3 months, we've seen $2.2b in net flows 🔥 🚒

gm, introducing Wrapped Artemis 2024 🎁

ever wondered what your onchain activity says about you?

i had fun building this personality quiz based on your onchain activity this year

just paste your @base name or @solana wallet and discover your onchain persona 👇

🎁 http://mywart.xyz

in the spirit of christmas, i'll be sending out 🎁 presents (100 usdc) or 🪨 coal to some of you each day 🎅 🎄

wow thanks so much for all of your responses to the stablecoin map - i'll work through adding your companies!

i'm a huge believer in shipping fast and building value quickly for our community

so a new 🚨 YIELDS 🚨 page was added where you can now track the best stablecoin yields across base (as well as ethereum and solana)

this week I built: 🔵 On Base

a minimal @base dashboard of real-time onchain metrics that measure how based we are today 😎

check out the dashboard 👉 onbase.dev

some cool stats:
◆ ~3m daily transactions
◆ $0.02 avg transaction fee
◆ ~$3b daily stablecoin transfer volume
◆ ~600k avg daily users, about half of which are new users (welcome! 👋)
◆ meanwhile, bot activity (sybils) has dropped meaningfully

a great example is today's @ensdomains x @artagency.eth collab, blending the familiarity of the DNS used by traditional websites with blockchain tech 🤝
