we are growing the @base engineering team — join us!

the @coinbase internal hackathon is running all weekend — and we're getting ready to celebrate all the awesome stuff we built.

want to join the celebration? join our SF meetup on monday evening — RSVP below!

come hang with me and other based builders tonight at 5p PT in SF

love that @jessepollak ends our @base team calls with "keep building, stay based"

the team follows the same mantra we ask from the community

@coinbasewallet Smart Wallet is magical! We implemented v1 internally in an hour.

I put together a walkthrough of the awesome experience in a video below.

A global wallet, no extensions needed, passkeys enabled, available to all @dynamic SDK customers the day it rolls out.

one cool thing is that the smart wallet is 100% free for users and developers for unlimited wallets

this is different from embedded wallet offerings where it costs per user after a certain scale

it just works, it's secure, AND it's free — a winning combination for builders

we should call them memes not memecoins

the coin part is just one distribution tool memes use to proliferate, alongside many other forms of creativity and experimentation

epic illustration of how easy the smart wallet is

read and mint the deck from my lightning talk on based memes today

i believe memes are an important part of the onchain economy and am excited to see more based memes proliferate to help bring the world onchain.

🦠 based kudzu infector is live on base 🛰️

🧫 enter any address to infect with based kudzu

💪 @okwme @jessepollak

infect yourself with kudzu and then send to one other person

many will be surprised by how quickly gas disappears from onchain UX

smart wallets and paymasters make this dead simple

if you're building an app and want to be early to this trend, Base would love to give you free gas credits. dc's open

DC @nickprince.eth if you want free gas credits to build onchain

the next era of onchain is here and we want to help you make the most of it

the level of onchain creativity happening on @base over the last few weeks has surpassed my wildest expectations 

and it's still only day one

these based playing cards @ttyl5h made are so beautiful
