OPEN MIC for Base Builders
One of the key highlights of our January meetup came from an unexpected place - our first-ever Open Mic session. When we opened the floor to Base builders, magic happened. We were thrilled to meet amazing builders from our ecosystem who stepped up to the stage, sharing their projects with incredible enthusiasm. Each presentation brought new energy to the room:
- acquire.fun introduced their gamified meme coin launchpad, that is actually FUN!
- Recycle Farm showcased their innovative AI-powered ECO-DePIN smart tumbler, tracking real-world sustainability impact
These spontaneous shares transformed our usual meetup into something more intimate and inspiring. It showed us just how vibrant and innovative our Base ecosystem already is, with fantastic projects being built right here in our community.
