BM @base community..listen to a wholesome conversation we had with @base founder @jessepollak on his on-chain vision for the base ecosystem & an interesting segment on how @base actually started out .. remember to mint on @zora zora.co/collect/zora:0…

Man base trenches are a legitimate dead zone sheesh

Do one valuable thing so well that everyone knows no one can do it like you do. Focus is underrated.

@BasedWestAfrica @DefiDevrel dope setup

Introducing: Base Builder Codes Learn how to integrate Builder Codes into your onchain app, as @DefiDevrel explains — using an Aviator Crash Game he built. (A step-by-step guide)

@antismart_ we will wait for all of you in defi world

We're fucked man, who is even advising this person's on the crypto laws. You guys are killing innovation from small startups. Binance wamewalipa sindio?

What a phenomenal event in New York City🇺🇸 Hurupay is a stablecoin neobank pioneering onchain banking for the world. For the first time, anyone can get a US bank account and access the American banking privilege. We showed the world how big this is and how fast we are growing🔥 Big shout-out to @Proof_Coverage @novora_ @connorking @richhomiecon @solana @SolanaSkyline for hosting🙌🙌

First time using @PretiumApp...damn I love how fast and seamless it is

BITCOIN IS BORING. yes you read it right, everyone simply thing of bitcoin as a currency and never as a blockchain. there are no activity on Bitcoin, how is a system built for peer to peer payment network now only a store of value??? where is the peer to peer? defi needs to work on it, if at all. are there any teams working on new solutions to fix this? many teams have definitely tried, only a few are still on but bitcoin credit arket is largely inactibe and untouched. i believe this is not for long anyways,

the more you’re in crypto, the less you live like your own generation.

Don't hire interns if you can't afford to pay them, lets not normalize these things in our industry.

Africa is talking—and women in tech are building systems that actually work for our people. At this hackathon, I’m building a blockchain-based escrow payment system paired with insurance for freelancers and gig workers—because getting paid safely shouldn’t be a luxury, and neither should protection. Think trustless transactions, guaranteed payments, and a safety net for the builders, creatives, and hustlers driving Africa’s digital economy. No middlemen, no delays—just transparency, security, and empowerment. This is bigger than code—it’s about financial dignity, ownership, and creating opportunities without fear. The future of work in Africa is here, and women are leading it. #BuildWithAt #WeLoveNerds @ATWomenInTech @ATCommunityNBO @Africastalking

Africa is talking—and this time, it’s women in tech leading the conversation. From bold ideas to powerful code, we’re building, breaking barriers, and shaping the future one line at a time. This isn’t just a hackathon—it’s a movement of brilliance, resilience, and innovation. Here’s to women showing up, standing out, and proving that the future of tech in Africa is diverse, inclusive, and unstoppable. #BuildWithAt #WeLoveNerds @ATWomenInTech @ATCommunityNBO @Africastalking
