deploy a simple contract on base and claim the deployer role! in this guide, i’ll walk you through how to deploy a simple contract on base and claim the deployer role from guild. → step 1: create an etherscan api key go to etherscan.io, create an account and generate an api key. since base explorer (basescan) is powered by Etherscan, the same api key works for verification. → step 2: open remix and set the api key for your deployment go to remix.ethereum.org, sign in with your github account. then click the ⚙️ settings icon (bottom left) > connected services > turn on etherscan access token then paste your api key inside. → step 3: create the contract file click create on the home page > new file, name it "SimpleStorage.sol", then paste the code below into the editor: // SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT pragma solidity ^0.8.20; contract SimpleStorage { string public message; constructor(string memory _message) { message = _message; } function setMessage(string memory _newMessage) public { message = _newMessage; } } → step 4: compile the contract click solidity compiler on the side menu > click compile SimpleStorage.sol → step 5: deploy on base mainnet click deploy & run transactions, environment → select injected provider (metamask/rabby). make sure your wallet is on base mainnet in the constructor field, type "gm base", then click deploy and verify. it will auto-verify the contract on basescan. → step 6: claim your role after successful deployment and verification, go to: guild.xyz/base and claim the deployer role. what you just did? you deployed a simple contract that stores the message "gm base" fully onchain on base. if you encounter any error, drop it in the comments and i’ll help you fix it.

jalaal created a github repo for an anti ai-slop writer claude skill. this turns ai-written content (posts, emails, articles, reports, even replies) into natural, human-like writing. here’s how to set it up for free: — go to the repo: github.com/jalaalrd/anti-… — copy the prompt / instructions from the repo — open claude and create a new custom skill (or paste into system prompt) — drop your ai-generated content into it get cleaner, more human, less “ai sounding” outputs instantly why this matters: most ai content today is obvious. same tone. same structure. same vibe. this helps you stand out, sound original, and actually keep people reading. if you’re using ai for content, you need this.

how to build an AI-first SaaS in 2026 1. start with a big market. finance, healthcare, real estate. then zoom into a sub-niche. 2. map the niche’s workflow end-to-end. literally write every step they do daily. ex: leads → scheduling → quoting → follow-ups → payments. 3. highlight where money changes hands. deposits, invoices, negotiations. those moments are where software captures value. 4. identify the repetitive mechanical tasks. anything someone does the same way every day is an automation opportunity. 5. quantify the pain. if a business owner spends 100 hours a year on something and their time is worth $300/hour, that’s a $30k problem. 6. manually perform the workflow yourself. most AI SaaS actually starts as a service. that’s why so many new YC companies begin with humans in the loop. 7. document every step. separate judgment tasks from mechanical tasks. agents handle the mechanical work. 8. turn those steps into agent workflows and connect them to real tools (email, slack, stripe, crm, APIs). 9. build media while you build the product. post daily about the workflow. use AI to research content ideas and scripts. the audience becomes your distribution. 10. launch narrow, show proof (hours saved, revenue generated), then expand into adjacent workflows until you become the default execution layer for that niche. people saying everyday that saas is dying it’s evolving into agents + software + media. full breakdown in the latest episode of @startupideaspod lots of sauce in this one all for free because i can't wait to see what you build watch
