Base APP
About this Airdrop
A shift is happening across crypto ⚡
People are done with apps where value flows upward into opaque corporate systems. They want platforms where trading, creation, and social interaction lead to real economic outcomes. Ownership matters. Participation should pay. And the upside should belong to the people who build the network, spark culture, and move markets.
Base App brings that vision onchain ⛓️
Built by the Base team, Base App is quickly emerging as crypto’s everything app — a single experience where markets, social, payments, discovery, and earning converge. In one feed, you can follow live onchain activity, explore mini apps, react to posts, message friends, and buy or sell millions of tokens instantly 📱
No more separation between social and financial activity.
Base App fuses them.
Every like, post, trade, or referral runs on open, verifiable rails — protocols that can measure contribution and route value back to users. The social feed becomes a living economic layer, where influence, creativity, and participation are priced, traded, and rewarded in real time.
The message is simple: “It pays to be here.”
Create. Earn. Trade. Discover apps. Chat securely.
All in one place — where users own the upside, not platforms.
This isn’t theoretical.
In the keynote, Jesse revealed what’s already live — and what’s coming next:
Double-tap posts to instantly buy tokens
Creators earn directly from posts, no follower minimum
USDC Rewards offer yield on idle balances (3.35% cited on stage)
Mini apps from global developers run natively inside the app
Encrypted chat for both payments and conversations
Verified identity increases trust and post reach
Support for 10 chains and 16 global currencies with instant on/off-ramps
Thousands of apps compatible via open standards
Tokenized content and creator coins powered by open protocols
Unlimited trading access: Bitcoin, Solana, stocks, perps, and more
Coming early 2026: earn from the trades you influence
And the bigger shift:
On Base, everything can become a global, tradable asset.
Posts. Creators. Apps. Protocols — all tokenized.
Users, fans, and friends finally share in the upside instead of watching from the sidelines.
To kick things off, Base App launched with the Holiday Rewards campaign, offering up to 2M USDC in limited-time rewards for early verified users.
The future of social and finance isn’t separate.
It’s onchain — and it pays to be here.
