New year, new milestone. Time to get back to work.

Building on Base just got easier. Our upgraded docs now work with your AI agents and here's how!

@big_duca Congrats man!!!

Some personal news... I got engaged last weekend in Japan 💍 She didn't want her face on X though. So, I covered it with the thing I love 2nd most.

@bay_photography 395 the goated California highway, never gets old

Lots of memories up the 395. Convict Lake is top tier for me. So many awesome views right off the hwy from Alabama hills, Owens River, short detours to Sabrina and Bristlecones, Hot Creek, Mammoth Lakes, June loop, Mono Lake, all the way up through Tahoe Don’t have a lot of actual “road” photos but here are two.

We are making three key hires @NorthIslandVC 1) VC Associate to work with me to find and back the best startups in crypto. 2) Equity Research Analyst to work with @samuelmandrew to find the best public markets opportunities, particularly in equities. 3) Software Engineer to work with our stellar CTO on building bleeding edge AI tools All jobs and applications can be found at the link below northisland.ventures/jobs

@jessepollak same

help I'm addicted to building with agents

@drewcoffman @base best of luck with what’s next!

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.

東京でUSDC決済が開始されました。 これは東アジアにおける、Base上の実店舗でのUSDC決済の初事例となります。 2月24日から3月2日まで、渋谷のPangaea Cafeにて、MynaWallet、Digital Garage (PG)、JCB（カードネットワーク）との協力により実施されます。顧客はBaseアプリでQRコードをスキャンしてBase上のUSDCで支払い、加盟店は日本円で直接精算を受け取ります。 @MynaWalletはBase Japanのフラッグシッププロジェクトであり、日本のマイナンバーカードによるネイティブなKYC統合を備えたBase Batches 002のファイナリストです。 Baseは、16種類のコンプライアンスに準拠したステーブルコインを通じて、32カ国で世界的な資金移動を加速させています。ステーブルコインが現地でリアルタイムに決済されるとき、支払いは「外国のもの」ではなく「ネイティブ」なものになります。 Baseは、閉ざされたイントラネットからオープンなインターネットへと決済レールを開放しています。オープンなインフラ上でバリュープロポジションを構築し、境界なくスケールしましょう。 出演および内容紹介 by @7pastelblackcat

@Cooopahtroopa so jealous have fun out there

Just booked my one-way ticket to move from LA to Tokyo in April Let the 2026 Japan arc commence 🫡

AI agent szn on base btw

Something this WSJ piece omits is that what @brian_armstrong is arguing for is not obviously in Coinbase's interest: in a world where yield sharing is prohibited, USDC will at least in a first-order way be more directly profitable for Coinbase. As far as I can tell, Brian's position stems from his belief in the importance of a vibrant and competitive market that protects consumer liberty, and I think he deserves a lot of credit for that. wsj.com/finance/curren….

Farcaster is one of the more respectable wind-downs I've seen in crypto They: - ran a lean team with healthy burn throughout - took a contrarian bet on a huge market gap - built real decentralized tech What they didn't do: - Launch a useless token - Shill vaporware product - Run copypasta forks Any of these alternatives would've been drastically worse for users and community If crypto wants to stop getting rugged 24/7, you have to treat real builders different from vaporware scammers Would've been 1000x easier to just tokenize and coast, Farcaster actually chased PMF. That should be celebrated

everything exchange looking good here coinbase is shipping like crazy

Here are our top priorities for 2026 at Coinbase: 1) Grow the everything exchange globally (crypto, equities, prediction markets, commodities - across spot, futures, and options) 2) Scale stablecoins and payments 3) Bring the world onchain through @CoinbaseDev, @base chain, and @baseapp We're making major investments in product quality and automation underlying each of these as well. Goal is to make Coinbase the #1 financial app in the world.

Yesterday I sent someone our tax harvesting page. he was able to harvest ~$20k of losses. It's free. ~4 days left.

Each time I go back to Tokyo, I am reminded how high the bar can be for a city: people, culture, safety, housing. SF has so much potential. Tokyo is like a city full of sub-reddits everywhere.

we want founders on the @base team
