Monster is leaving Base for MegaETH.
As a team, we resisted making this move for a long time but at this point we know it is the right thing to do.
@CryptoSamurai and I have been shipping crypto apps together for years, across a lot of chains and a lot of teams. The chain you build on doesn't make or break you. You win by being relentless, shipping a great product, and finding distribution. But the chain you pick can help in three ways: liquidity, distribution, and speed. For some teams, Base delivers all three. For us, it hasn't.
When we launched last fall, Base was the obvious call. Dominant EVM chain for apps. Good people on the team, people I still like and respect. But over the last six months, Base has shifted considerably — in focus, in personnel, in who was even reachable. More than once it felt like we were begging for engagement even though the product was growing. During our time on Base we bootstrapped the project to several million dollars in volume and built up over a half a million dollars in assets in the Monster treasury.
Our biggest co-marketing moment on Base was being named their app of the week.

Compare that to Mega. Within minutes of @bread_ hearing we were looking for a new home, we were in a chat with the team. In one month with Mega we've gotten more interest and support from their team than we got in six months on Base.
We're a small, bootstrapped team who is scrappy, hungry, and building something we really believe in. Mega operates the same way. They're not resting on anything. On top of that, our ambitions run well outside the crypto bubble, and Mega's tech is unmatched on speed and execution. That opens up a whole new set of things we're excited to build. We believe the market for collectibles and RWAs is just getting started and the blockchain only enhances these markets. If we want to be the best in class in UI/UX real-time speed is a must have for us and it makes Mega the clear partner.
At the end of the day, there was just a misalignment between us and Base. I have no doubt Base will keep doing well. They have network effects, a great brand, and Coinbase behind it. Many great projects will keep launching there. But I couldn't be more excited about our next chapter. The MegaETH team is a bunch of killers, and the projects in their ecosystem are too.
The work behind this move has been a behemoth. Once it's live, expect us to start shipping things you've genuinely never seen in the TCG space at breakneck speed.
