I just want to take a moment to genuinely appreciate the @base team. You’re not just building infrastructure, you’re building people. Every interaction I’ve had, whether through support tickets or casual chats, has felt like talking to teammates, not just a support desk. You’re present, kind, and truly committed to helping builders succeed, no matter the stage they’re in. I’m also proud to share that I’ve joined the Base Advocate team, which has allowed me to connect with amazing builders, support users in the Base Discord, and get to know the core team even better. It's been an inspiring journey so far. Huge thanks to: @jessepollak – As the founder of Base, you’re constantly promoting and amplifying people and projects that are active in the ecosystem. It’s not your job to do that, but you do it anyway, and it shows how much you care about the community. That kind of leadership is rare and deeply appreciated. @CryptoStatuette – Always championing builders, creating space for us to be heard, and helping us make real impact within the ecosystem. Your support is felt. @EvSlatts – You’ve been closely supporting me and my team, offering constant guidance and encouragement. You’ve helped us stay focused and build with purpose. @nameisnaemis – Always ready to answer questions, even the ones that aren’t directly related. You do your best to help every time, and that kind of support means a lot. This is why Base feels like home for builders. A place where your effort is recognized, your voice matters, and your growth is supported. Thank you for believing in us. Let’s keep building, together.

My worst nightmare 🫠

@thevput @LineaBuild Ebeggers :D

@LineaBuild I want to check out this update on the Exponent rewards that are over a month overdue.

Check out the update on the Linea Docs page! docs.linea.build

In February, we launched the Based DevRel Ambassador program Technical builders from all over the world volunteered to help the next wave of Based developers. Today we're naming our first two program leads: @cryptostpn + @0xKacperrr0 have put in the hours! Get to know them🧵

@vol_4k I have some info that I can share, btw, what is your selling price?

Dude, look, I understand everything. My position is very simple: I invested a lot of money into Linea and right now I’m taking serious losses. Are there problems with the team? I think it’s important to separate things. I have no questions about the developers who are building the project - the development is solid and the progress is there. But when it comes to communication and community support, the situation is quite disappointing, and I admit that.

This is actually interesting - exactly what I was talking about earlier. Yes, the price of $Linea has dropped almost -90% after tge. Yes, there is a lot of dissatisfaction after the airdrop. And many influencers are simply gaining followers by farming hate around the project. But if we look at the fundamentals, Linea is one of the most technologically advanced Layer-2 solutions on the market. It’s not just scaling Ethereum (and we all know Vitalik’s vision for L2s), but trying to occupy its own niche. And that niche is institutional players and financial infrastructure. Below are some facts that support this. Hopefully, with the overall market recovery, the price of Linea will also make us happy.

@drewcoffman @base I can’t believe it…… So sad to hear that

after 3 years, i've decided to leave my post at @base. i feel privileged to have joined (pre-mainnet!) to help shape how base talks to the world, making crypto legible and inviting to people who aren't already deep in it. i’m proud of what we built and how we built it. @jessepollak is the real deal, and so is the entire team around him: @sarahzorah, @WilsonCusack, too many to name. rooting for them always. more soon on what’s next.

New week, new AMA! Happy to have @XenBH, Director of Growth at @base host this week's Reddit AMA! @XenBH has an strong background as a previous founder of @roam_xyz, COO of @ns, COO of @blockchain and Director of @UBS. Drop your questions now - reddit.com/r/BASE/comment…

Time is the only asset you can't get back. There is a painful dissonance right now within the core community. For two seasons, the relationship felt reciprocal. We gave our creativity, our reputation, and our unwavering support. We championed @EspressoSys to everyone who would listen. But the TGE moment revealed a stark asymmetry. The recognition we received suggests that the team viewed our massive input as having negligible value. It feels like a one sided devotion. We aren't asking for charity; we are asking for commensurate acknowledgment. To see the Caffe Creator badge treated with such little weight has turned our excitement into a profound sense of emptiness. We stood by you; we just wish you had stood by us. The community is hurting because we expected our loyalty to be reciprocated with equal weight. Right now, the scales feel broken. we are not farmers...

Open Letter from Caff Creators Web3 is moving toward a cross-chain future where protocols no longer require trust. Yet collaboration in this space still depends on trust between people. Hello @EspressoSys team First, we want to acknowledge the work behind building Espresso and launching $ESP. As Caffeinated Creators, we’ve been closely involved in the journey and genuinely believe in the long-term importance of Espresso’s cross-chain vision. Espresso has always stood out as a team of serious builders with a real product, and that credibility is what attracted a committed group of creators. For that reason, the outcome of the $ESP distribution for Caffeinated Creators has come as a shock to many of us. We respect the decision to prioritize wallet history and to filter out farming behavior. That approach makes sense. However, the resulting allocation for creators appears to be either overlooked or folded into a model that does not reflect the nature or scale of our contributions. The allocations received by creators are, in many cases, extremely small and difficult to reconcile with months of consistent content creation, education, and community support. This is not about comparison, but about proportional recognition. Even in challenging market conditions, fairly rewarding a focused group of roughly 70 creators should have been achievable. Based on available data, the total allocation to all Caffeinated Creators is approximately 140,000 ESP tokens, around 0.0003 percent of the total airdrop. For a small group that has actively supported the ecosystem alongside development progress, this feels misaligned with the collaborative values Espresso has consistently communicated. Through ongoing community calls and direct interaction, we’ve come to respect the team’s ethics and transparency, which makes this situation particularly difficult to understand. If this distribution reflects the team’s final position on community contribution, then that message is now clear. If instead there were errors, constraints, or factors we’re unaware of, we believe it’s important to communicate that openly. It’s been over 24 hours since our requests for clarification, and still, no response has been provided. This is unprofessional, and we know you for a better way of handling such matters. We are not asking for immediate changes, but we are asking for communication. Even confirming the decision directly would be more constructive than silence. Respectfully, Caffeinated Creators

@Crypto_Porn90 I would hesitate to catch a “falling knife”

It’s been a week of big news, and now it’s time for mine. Today is my last day at @base This was one of the hardest things to keep quiet. An era is ending, but the seeds we planted will keep growing. The Base community has never been about any one person or role. It is a living, evolving force. To @base team and @jessepollak: thank you for leading with heart and giving me a chance to be part of something meaningful. Supporting this incredible global community has been one of the most fulfilling chapters of my career. To @base community: this isn’t a goodbye. And you already know I can’t stop, won’t stop cheering you on. I’ll see y’all in the trenches. basemom hugs 💛

@CryptoStatuette @base So sad to see you leaving Base. You were truly one of the best people in the ecosystem, and a real inspiration for all of us Base Advocates. I’ll never forget your support and impact. Wishing you nothing but success wherever you go next. Please keep us updated always. 💙🙏
