Why the Last Pivot Worked: Lessons From Building Based In this episode of DROPS, I sit down with @edison0xyz, co-founder of @BasedOneX, to discuss what it really looks like to build through collapse, survive multiple pivots, and eventually find product-market fit in crypto. Edison’s story begins with early blockchain engineering at Zilliqa, runs through the euphoria and devastation of Terra, and arrives at a final high-conviction bet on @HyperliquidX that turned a company with just $200,000 left in the bank into a platform that has processed nearly $40 billion in volume. From Blockchain Infrastructure To The Search For Something Real Edison entered crypto in 2018, joining Zilliqa as one of its earliest engineers just after graduate school. It was the period when the industry was still obsessed with infrastructure: faster chains, better consensus, more elegant engines. Looking back, he describes that era as one in which people cared deeply about how the engine worked, but not enough about why anyone should want to drive the car in the first place. That distinction matters because it frames the rest of his journey. Edison came in as an engineer, someone shaped by the technical side of distributed systems. But over time, DeFi pulled him towards a different question. The point was no longer just whether something could be built. It was whether it unlocked the behaviour people truly wanted. That shift in perspective began around 2020, when DeFi gained popularity. As he puts it, it “immediately felt like it is a very interesting field”. It was exciting not only because it was new, but because it made finance programmable in ways that felt directly usable. Terra, Conviction, And The Cost Of Believing Too Hard Like many builders of that cycle, Edison found himself pulled into Terra. The appeal was easy to understand. The system was fast, elegant, and packaged around a story that felt bigger than yield. Terra sold the dream of a payments chain and a new kind of savings account, and for a while, that dream looked believable. Edison and his co-founders built Subra in the Terra ecosystem, a protocol designed around a compelling idea: let users deposit UST into Anchor to earn yield, then use that same capital to do other things without touching principal. In theory, it was a self-repaying loan. You could dollar-cost average into Bitcoin, buy synthetic equities, or pay for services while your underlying capital kept working. The concept was smart. The timing was catastrophic. Subra went live for just forty days before Terra collapsed. Edison does not retell the crash as a neat lesson learned. He describes it in the messy, psychological sequence many people actually experienced: denial, overconfidence, revenge trading, then eventual acceptance. He lost 95% of his net worth. Worse, he not only lost money inside Luna. He also lost money outside it by trying to make it back too quickly. In one of the clearest lines from the episode, he reflects that crisis teaches you to “always keep your composure” in extreme events. Despite his experience, Edison still believes that in crypto, the line between builder and trader is much thinner than people admit. In traditional software, you can focus entirely on the product and leave asset markets to someone else. In crypto, that is much harder. His view is that a serious crypto builder has to understand how markets feel from the inside. You need to know what would make you buy, participate, hold, or trust a protocol. That does not mean becoming reckless. But it does mean that crypto builders cannot afford to be abstract thinkers. They are designing systems whose adoption depends on financial behaviour. Three Pivots Later After Terra, Edison, and the team did not shut down. They pivoted into payments, trying to build a stablecoin gateway for merchants. The thesis was sensible. If merchants could more easily accept stablecoins, adoption would increase, and crypto payments could become genuinely useful. They even raised fresh funding on the back of that idea. But the market was against them. FTX collapsed, and USDC briefly depegged during the US banking crisis. So they pivoted again, this time into a self-custodial wallet with a linked Visa card. That version of the business eventually became profitable, which mattered because it proved the team could build something people used. But even then, profitability did not equal inevitability. Fraud hit the card business, confidence dropped again, and the team was forced into one final rethink. Edison realised they did not need to build a wallet that tried to do everything for everyone. They needed a wallet that was excellent for one specific use case, in one specific ecosystem. That use case was trading on Hyperliquid Based, and The Power Of Choosing A Narrower Market Today, Edison explains Based simply: it is “a platform that allows you to trade everything and spend everywhere”. Based is not trying to be a generic wallet. It is trying to be the best consumer layer for a specific kind of trader: the “retail pro”. These are users who want more than a stripped-down retail interface, but do not need the raw complexity of institutional tooling either. They care about usability, but they also want depth, visibility, and confidence. That positioning is sharper than it looks. Based was not built around vague ambition. It was built around a clearly defined customer and a monetisation model that made sense. The result is staggering: nearly $40 billion in volume in the last eight months and roughly $50 million in revenue. The Bigger Vision: Wallets For Humans And Agents The conversation ends by widening the lens. Edison believes the wallet will become one of the most valuable surfaces in crypto, not only for humans but eventually for AI agents too. His thesis is that if AI agents are going to transact, trade, pay for services, and operate across the internet, they will need identity, permissions, and financial rails. In the end, Based did not emerge because the team refused to quit. It emerged because, after years of pivots, they finally became precise about what they were building, who they were building for, and why it mattered. 👉If you enjoyed reading the summary, head over to When Shift Happens on YouTube or your favorite podcast platform to access the full convo.

Words of wisdom from a wise man that I once knew. @edison0xyz says there has never been a more bullish setup for Based. Ancient chinese wisdom says: 三年不飞，飞将冲天；三年不鸣，鸣将惊人。March 30th here we go. Cooking hard...

@edison0xyz @BasedOneX Cool

@lMnotG0D @HypioHL No way lol

Floor price: 8 $HYPE Listed: 70 NFTs Do you think @HypioHL is a gone case, or will we come back again? If each NFT receives an airdrop of 1000 $HYPE as loyalty rewards to the ecosystem, that would be insane. We are holding from 200 $HYPE down to 8 $HYPE.

@mert Lol

Walt: Who are you talking to right now? Who is it you think you see? Do you know how much I make a year? I mean, even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it. Do you know what would happen if I suddenly decided to stop going into work? A business big enough that it could be listed on the NASDAQ goes belly up. Disappears! It ceases to exist without me. No, you clearly don't know who you're talking to, so let me clue you in. I am not in danger, Skyler. I am the danger. A guy opens his door and gets shot, and you think that of me? No. I am the one who knocks! Skyler: Grok is this true?

@AgentChud @grok what's he mean?

Hyperliquid and Solana are apps with a token. Ethereum is crypto. Hope this helps.

We must unleash the yield, safely. We’re at a momentous turning point for our industry. If Congress passes the CLARITY Act, we finally get the regulatory certainty we've been advocating for. So what’s the hold up? Deciding if customers should earn yield from their stablecoin holdings. To get this right, we must prioritize what matters most for Americans: value and safety.

change your life today – just read this (1 min) picture this: it's march 19, 2036. you roll out of bed feeling heavy and worn out. you don't even look in the mirror anymore because it's easier not to. money's always tight, barely scraping by. that job you "settled for" years ago still sucks the life out of your mornings. the second the alarm goes off, the dread kicks in. the people around you? they're just there. not really friends, not really enemies. you laugh sometimes, but it feels forced. then an old photo pops up from today, march 19, 2026. you look alive. eyes clear, body decent, still excited about stuff. you stare at it and feel this gut punch. quietly you say, "man... i wish i could go back and actually do things different." you'd grab that version of you by the shoulders and yell: stop wasting hours scrolling. stop using food/drinks to feel better. stop playing small to keep everyone happy. start working out. start reading real shit. start dropping the people and habits that drag you down. but you can't go back. because that version of you is literally you, right now, reading this. you're the one future-you is desperately wishing would step up. so what are you actually going to do today so that 2036 you doesn't have to sit there full of regret? just one thing. a workout. telling someone no. putting $50 aside. finally starting that thing you've been scared of. pick it. do it today. don't screw over future you. buy $HYPE.
