Decentralization brings fairness, transparency, and genuine collaboration to AI development — leveling the playing field for everyone involved.

Base has gotten a major rebrand. The Base L2 is now Base Chain, and Coinbase Wallet is now the Base app. As part of this rebrand, the wallet’s been rebuilt into an “everything app” that weaves together Farcaster social, Zora-powered monetization, mini apps, payments, swaps, and encrypted chats. The Base app is in invite-only beta for now. I got early access and spent the day trying it out. Here’s what to expect. ~~ Overview by @cluteCtyp ~~ Navigating the app After downloading the app, you’ll be prompted to create a @base account or import your Coinbase Wallet. Then you’ll create or connect a @farcaster_xyz account, pick social categories like "Crypto" or "News," and you’re in. The home screen places community apps front and center. The top tab takes you to trending Farcaster mini apps. Below that is a carousel of featured apps (e.g.@fx_hash_,@Mamo_agent,@qrcoindotfun) and discovery categories like "Games," "Social," and "Art." The next tab - marked by a rectangle between two short lines - brings you to the in-app social feed powered by Farcaster. You’ll notice market cap stats under posts. This is from the @zora coins integration, letting any post become a tradable token. To post, hit the pencil button in the lower right. You’ll get a familiar casting UI, with a toggle in the lower left to enable or disable coining. When I casted that post above, my wallet immediately received initial earnings via Zora. You can also use the QR button in the wallet to pull up your address and deposit more funds. Another feature: tap the “Buy” button to link your main @coinbase account and fund your Base wallet from USD or crypto holdings. To trade or transact, tap the arrows icon. You’ll access a swaps UI, plus options to send, request, or claim via tap-to-pay and links. The chat box icon leads to the Chat hub. You can DM followers or talk to onchain AI assistants like @bankrbot and Mamo. The bell icon shows Farcaster notifications. The wallet icon lets you manage in-app holdings. Zooming out The Base app is smooth, easy to onboard to, and packed with onchain experiences. It has clear breakout potential. Farcaster and Zora are two of crypto’s most compelling projects, and they’re integrated well here. The result is a wallet unlike anything else. But these are early days. Expect steady improvements ahead.

What do all Web3 founders have in common? 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 According to @michaelh_0g , co-founder of @0G_labs, in a convo with host @dikshaW3LP — it’s creativity that brings the space together 📷 From wild ideas to real innovation — everything starts with imagination.

What’s the biggest challenge @0G_labs is tackling in crypto? Co-founder @michaelh_0g , in a conversation with host @chaukenz , explains it’s all about solving the toughest barrier for new users — improving the User Experience. Their mission? To make crypto apps as simple and intuitive as possible for everyone.

This is the right way to do crypto payments

Internet shutdowns are on the rise. Last year alone, 296 government-mandated shutdowns hit 54 countries, from India’s election blackouts to Russia’s military crackdowns. But developers are responding. Protocols like Offline Protocol, Cashu, and BitChat are building uncensorable payments and messaging systems — no internet required. Here’s how they work and why they matter.👇 ~~ Analysis by @dikshaW3LP ~~ 🔌@OfflineProtocol Offline Protocol transforms ordinary smartphones into participants of a decentralized network for messaging, file exchange, and future crypto payments — no internet connection required. How it works The protocol relies on native phone technologies such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Direct to create local mesh networks. Every device functions both as an endpoint and a relay, passing messages through nearby peers. If a node goes offline, traffic is automatically rerouted through alternative paths. Because the network operates entirely peer-to-peer and has no central servers, it is inherently resistant to censorship and shutdowns. ◆ Current Features — Apps like OfflineID and Fernweh enable offline one-to-one messages, group chats, and broadcast alerts — ideal for protests or emergencies. ◆ Coming Soon — Offline Apps (custom p2p apps) and Offline Payments (p2p crypto transfers). Following a $1.1M raise in March, Offline integrated with the Binance wallet to let users claim OfflineIDs directly. A points system is live — possibly signaling a future airdrop. 💬 BitChat BitChat, launched by @jack , creates a Bluetooth-based relay network for messages — no internet needed. How it Works It builds mesh networks where messages hop across phones, each acting as a relay. This bypasses central servers and makes censorship difficult. Messages remain encrypted even if a device is seized. ◆ Complete Anonymity — No numbers, no accounts, just keys. ◆Panic Mode — Triple-tap to erase all data; dummy traffic hides patterns. ◆ Cross-Platform — iOS support via App Store; Android via source code. Over 10K beta testers have joined, and Cashu integration helped it go viral. But it’s early — Bluetooth pairing and low user density still limit reliability. Still, it’s open-source and likely to draw developer interest. --- These protocols are building the infrastructure to preserve sovereignty when traditional networks fail. Government blackouts are now common responses to dissent. What began in authoritarian states is now spreading globally. Offline Protocol, Cashu, and BitChat are still early, but they show how crypto is creating alternate systems — just as Bitcoin protects value, these tools protect communication. As shutdowns evolve from blocking apps to full blackouts, cryptographically-secure, proximity-based protocols will shift from experimental to essential.

🎙️Happy New Year, Web3! More signal, less noise. Better builders, smarter narratives, real conversations. We’ll keep the mics on — you keep building. See you on-chain 🚀

Thank you crypto.
