GM all! Week 4 of @Base Batches building @Tribeca_xyz 1. Base Batches W4 • Had an AMA with @wagmiAlexander, founder of Aerodrome, about his journey and the early days of competing with established players like Uniswap. Biggest personal takeaway: “kick every door down” and keep finding ways to make things happen and give yourself a real shot at winning. Just as important is finding people who share your vision and want it as much as you do. • Also had interesting conversations on different ways a project can raise, and this week we had an intro to Sonar and Echo. Sonar lets projects run public token sales, while Echo lets groups of investors participate in private rounds alongside a group lead. Useful to see the different ways founders can raise capital and bring their communities into the process. • Also attended the @Base Memecoin Summit. The meme metaverse was super cool to see and love how @Base builds so openly with its community and let's their feedback directly shape what comes next. 2. Collaboration • One of the best parts of building in public on @Base has been meeting other founders working on similar problems and figuring out where we could build together. Spoke with a couple of interesting projects this week on collaboration: • @trydrip — we’re exploring an integration so you can keep up with the market commentary and creators you follow. They also track how creators’ calls have performed over time. Pretty cool to see someone’s track record alongside their latest take. • @edotenv — building tools that help AI agents research markets, analyse portfolios and test trading strategies. Had a good chat about how that could fit into what we’re building. Always enjoy jamming with other founders and finding ways our projects could work together. Definitely check both teams out! 3. Reflections • Been getting inbound DMs asking for advice on building on @Base, and I keep coming back to the same thing: it’s a two-way street. Be active in the community, share what you’re learning, and take an interest in what other people are building. Those small interactions add up. Working with other Batches teams and builders across the ecosystem has been one of the best parts of these four weeks, and you truly get a front row seat of what people are cooking up on @Base in real time and where you can help each other. Keep building!

GM all! Week 3 of @Base Batches 🟦 1. Base Batches W3 A packed week, split pretty evenly between growing as founders and growing the product. • Sat down with peeps from the Base ecosystem team and picked their brains on the trends they're seeing and where they think the onchain landscape is heading. • Design session with @PhilHedayatnia , co-founder & CEO of Airfoil. Got an insiders look on how he approaches design and his framing stuck with me: great design is applied psychology. Study how people think and behave, then build around it. Best part was getting our own landing page/webapp critiqued live, and the biggest takeaway for us: your product should sell the vision, not just the features. • AMA with @seanlippel, GP at Fintech Collective. Few people sit at the intersection of TradFi and crypto the way he does, and hearing how he sees the two converge over the next few years was very insightful. For a team building the onchain version of traditional markets, this was definitely the highlight of the week. • @therymac on founder-led marketing: how to position yourself, tell a story people actually connect with, and be clear on why you're the one building this. 2. Collaboration • Every team gets a dedicated mentor, and we couldn't have been matched better than with @j_austincain . His expertise lines up almost exactly with what we're building, and we spent our time pressure-testing GTM and how Tribeca fits into the Base ecosystem. • Had a great discussion with @AhaanRaizada on bringing Base to Asia, and seeing @jessepollak in the trenches with Chinese traders made it clear how serious Base is about going global. We want @Tribeca_xyz to be part of that push. 我们正在 Base 上打造全球股票市场! • Caught up with @mercatus_ai , who building a market for AI tokens. Love seeing price discovery applied to compute. Super cracked team and the product is genuinely innovative so check them out! 3. Reflections • What stands out most is how much Base invests in every team, in both the founders and the products. Despite us being so early stage, it is amazing to see the team put their weight behind us and what we are triyng to build. If you're building, come build on @base and build in public. The support is real. • Last week we had the @Tribeca_xyz launch and support has been incredible. We're currently building out our ambassador program so if you're in trading or a KOL on @Base, make sure to reach out!
