there are obviously differences here but its pretty surprising to me how consensus prediction markets are (quantifying odds / valuing rumors and news) vs how controversial the idea of attention markets are (quantifying attention / valuing content)
blockchains can uniquely value anything - assets, sentiment, news, content, etc - and as an industry who speaks non stop about the need for new apps, we should be helping teams who in good faith try to unlock new use cases with feedback and support vs attacking them

keys to a successful token launch (per my feed)
2024: graduate from a token launchpad
2025: file for an ETF ASAP

the difference in sentiment between "crypto twitter" and literally anyone else i speak with (builders, enterprises, institutions) right now is mind blowing
good reminder to ignore everything and keep building

MXNe is live on @base!
Issued by Brale in partnership with Etherfuse, MXNe is the first Mexican peso-backed stablecoin in the Base ecosystem powering onchain payments and FX in the local Mexican economy 🇲🇽
MXNe is available to swap on @aerodrome, acquire through Capa Finance, or mint 1:1 through Brale.
By transacting in Pesos on-chain, Mexican communities benefit from lower fees, near-instant settlements, and the ability to retain more value within their ecosystem.
David Taylor, CEO of Etherfuse: “MXNe’s expansion to Base, made possible through our partnership with Brale, has the potential to revolutionize the way we transact and capture value. This is a significant step forward for Mexican finance, benefiting the communities who create, develop, promote, and use it.”
We’re excited to help grow onchain finance in Mexico. To learn more about integrating MXNe, reach out to our team.

feels like the vast majority of token launches have been heavily criticized (fairly or unfairly) over the last few months - so i am looking for feedback:
what would a best in class token launch look like for a long-term builder (specifically what does the team disclose, what are the lockups, what are the allocations, etc)?

A few events in the @base ecosystem from the past week:
-3 new global stablecoins launched (BRZ, CADC, CNGN) and Mansa (stablecoin payments company focused on Base) raised $10m
-Kraken and Robinhood added support for Base
-Kaito TGEd with Binance, OKX and other major exchanges providing day one listings while gas fees on base remained a few pennies at peak
-Several TGEs kicked off (Superfluid, Cod3x and more)
-Clanker listed on Coinbase Exchange
-Virtuals deployed their new autonomous businesses protocol
-Freysa launched Act IV: Digital Twin
-Moonwell launched virtual US checking accounts
-Infected announced the launch of their upcoming game (with +130K signups)
-Zora is letting anyone coin content
-Optimism launched a new 8M RPGF round that Base builders are eligible for (apply by Feb 26!)
Oh and Coinbase successfully stood up for crypto after a multi-year battle

Looking for recommendations - who are the best onchain dev shops / product studios?
Is anyone building a platform for Base builders to connect with each other?
Our team currently facilitates many introduction requests via double opt in intros but it 1) is slower and 2) limits how many connections get made
I would love to see a community driven platform to enable even more based collabs

One pretty surprising takeaway I had at GDC this week is that very little of the onchain gaming industry has heard of Farcaster or intends on incorporating it in their GTM. Pretty shocking for an industry that is obsessed with distribution and targeted acquisition
An underrated and fun aspect of shopping onchain is that you get to see which of your friends bought the same stuff as you
