been showing up almost every day since 2017, and on base since day one. the goal has always been the same: teach people what's happening onchain, bring them onchain, and get them excited about what's being built on base.
it takes a lot of time and effort, and it's not always easy. people come at you when you don't move the way they do or believe what they believe. but after enough years in this market you start to see the patterns, so you tune out the noise and look at things for what they really are.
if all of us do our part bringing people onchain, all of us win. that's why i keep showing up

woke up.
checked the news.
closed the news.
opened the trenches.

.@Cloudflare sits in front of a huge chunk of the internet and is starting to charge AI agents per request.
the payment rail they picked is x402.
the default network in their docs is base.
x402 on base did $1.15M across 2.5M transactions in the last 30 days.
the internet's paywall is getting built on @base

and on the thousandth red candle, the @base trenches did what they always do.
locked in.

today's a great day to trench on @base

Base just passed Robinhood Chain on 30-day DEX volume, per DefiLlama.
Base: $29.9B
Robinhood Chain: $29.4B
@base has out-traded it daily for eight days in a row, including a $1.0B day on Oct 26.
Quiet flip.

might start to get active trading on @fomo

somewhere along the way "base has no culture" became something people just repeat.
someone with a big following says it, a few people nod along, and nobody stops to check. say it enough times and it starts sounding true.
i disagree.
i've been on @base since day one, and i think it has one of the strongest cultures in crypto. it might not look like what you're used to seeing, but it's real.
it's built different. not everyone, but enough people here actually believe in something. real conviction, still chasing what this whole movement was always supposed to be about. bringing the world onchain.

the memecoins on @base i'll always root for.
1. they bring more to the table than they take off it.
🔹 give people a reason to stick around besides the chart: art, games, tools, events
🔹 the vibe makes people want to stay, and @base looks better with them on it
🔹 no playing games with the people who trusted them
2. the work doesn't stop when the attention does.
🔹 still posting and making content when nobody's engaging
🔹 chats and telegrams stay alive, and the mods and leaders keep showing up
🔹 dev or cto, they keep shipping something
3. they grinding when it gets difficult.
🔹 red days s

a lot of moms are about to be very proud

crypto is entering its consolidation era.
we spent years watching new chains launch. now we're watching some of them shut down.
Blast is winding down. meanwhile, @base holds $6 billion in DeFi, more than every other L2 rollup combined.
the next phase of crypto is going be less about how many chains we can build, and more about how few we actually need.

Every big chain's DEX volume shrank this month.
Except one.
@base +9.5%
Ethereum -12%
Solana -21%
BSC -24%
Hyperliquid -29%
Robinhood Chain -45%
