Chicago

Hey is there anyone in here that can get me the lowdown on crypto communities in Chicago? Looking to meet people, go to meetups, go to events, etc.

Base

@base builder #001; onchain cities w/ OAK & city3

The smart wallet by coinbase really is the best in class wallet. I think the main issue I see is how used to extensions the entire industry is. Wonder if @jessepollak and crew are making an extension option?

Hello Base!

Is there an apx. timeframe for when Base moves to stage 2, or when it becomes more decentralized?

Is there a plan to not allow blacklisting of $cbBTC in the future?

For everyone in the @base ecosystem:

Building NFTs and meme coins branded with "base" in their name are likely to fail on a long enough time frame. "Based doge" "Based BAYC" etc. etc.

This always happens with new ecosystems. Happened on Solana as well. 99.99% failed.

Build original things.

I see a lot of talk about how L2s will be interoperable but not a lot of talk about how this will work in practice for users

Can't have this be another UX flop where in theory it was attractive but in when put into users hands it still is falls short

I wonder if there are plans to have $OP tradeable throughout the superchain.

Currently cannot buy $OP on base

Lets just assume that Base never launches a token. Wouldnt that make $OP extremely undervalued? $OP would then be the main value capture for the superchain.

1.6b MC for $OP
67b MC for $SOL

It is well agreed upon that these are the two leaders for retail adoption

Looking for counter arguments for this analysis please

coinbasewallet

Hate to be harsh here but the smart wallet UI/UX needs a ton of work. It is probably the most cluttered wallet I have ever tried to use. My issue with this is it is going to be pushed on as many people as possible as people get funneled through Coinbase into base. Wallet usability is extremely important for creating sticky users I am afraid the current iteration could do the opposite.

Ethereum

Make Ethereum L1 great again 

Faster, cheaper, ability to keep up with moores law

Zora

Some feedback for the new Zora launch:

Would be nice to see which mints are using the uniswap functionality and which are not. Would also be nice to filter by volume and some metrics like that.

OP Stack

Is there anywhere to read how the superchain will work in practice?

More in terms of how it will work and feel for the user less so technicals.
