A great reflection from Base founder Jesse - Change Base has not yet issued a token ⚡️, key point 👀👀 As we all know, last year Base fully launched the Base App. The general idea here is that it will transition from a social wallet to a transaction-first on-chain super financial gateway, bringing demand and distribution to all on-chain assets, while also helping to drive users/funds. Jesse mentioned the feedback he received: for example, the previous app was like a social app, and it didn't cover a wide enough range of assets that people wanted to trade. Users want more high-quality assets to trade (opportunities for asset onboarding), a more comprehensive information flow, and the ability to see and discover apps, stocks, prediction markets, and various asset classes on-chain dynamics. How Base plans to change: 1. Transaction First: Make trading the main focus of the Base App. 2. Introduce more high-quality assets on-chain that can be traded in the App: protocols/apps/stocks/predictions/memes/creator assets, etc., all need to be "tradable." 3. Financial-first product experience: Strengthen the financial/trading experience first, then layer social features on top. Additionally! I saw @aptos CEO @AveryChing retweet this post, while also referencing his own article "Building a Global Trade Engine." Aptos is also shifting from a general L1 narrative to building a global trading engine, going all-in on the on-chain trading narrative, which will certainly come with immense pressure in the short term, including price pressure, but the direction is correct. In fact, I suggested a long time ago that Aptos create its own Aptos App: Leverage Aptos's advantages to create "smoother trading + more compliant high-quality assets (RWA) + faster onboarding," turning the Aptos App into a transaction-first self-custody gateway, using the simplest onboarding to bring stablecoins + RWA + DeFi all into one trading and discovery interface. Users can discover opportunities and trade with one click. The official team should direct all traffic and resources to this app. Moreover, regardless of whether they are Aptos users, make it possible for a first-time visitor to go from 0 to being able to start using it (register/create a wallet, deposit money, learn how to transfer/exchange/trade) through this entire process. After completing the APP, focus on growth: In-app growth: Incentives centered around "trading behavior," with all on-chain actions like trading, LP, deposits, staking, etc., visually recorded, providing future incentives, and using points or ecological airdrops for engagement. The trading module could even be directly embedded and deeply integrated with the official supported dex/perp: decibel @DecibelTrade. Out-of-app growth: Allow any Aptos dApp to be used, embedded, and integrated, bringing users directly into the same account system, turning the App into a connector, becoming a distribution infrastructure, with the official team controlling traffic distribution.

Tl;dr: We’re focusing the Base app to be trading-first to drive demand and distribution for every asset and to be the best app for whatever you do in the onchain economy. Since announcing the Base app in July, hundreds of thousands of you have used the app to create, trade, save, spend, and build. Seeing the adoption has been incredible. We've also heard clear feedback about what's landing and isn't. Three themes stand out: - The app felt overly focused on social. It came across as too close to web2, and didn’t show support for the full breadth of assets that people want to trade. - Everyone wants more high quality assets. In general there is a desire to engage with and trade high quality assets. This is the most important opportunity as we bring capital markets onchain. - The feed needs to surface everything: Having a feed of what's happening onchain is a good idea, but it needs to surface apps, stocks, predictions, and every asset class (with social tokens are just one of many). In a world where everything is tokenized and tradeable, the single most valuable thing we can do is drive demand and distribution to everyone. That’s exactly what the Base app is going to do. We’re going to make the Base app the best place to trade and use every asset. Concretely this means: 1. We’re going to build for trading first. Having trading as our primary focus will help us bring demand and capital for all rapidly growing asset classes in the economy. 2. We’re going to bring more high quality assets onchain. To best serve the trading use case, we’re going to make it so everything is tradable in the app — protocols, apps, stocks, predictions, memes, and yes creators too. We’re going to lean into a finance-first UX. We be 3. We’re going to lean into a finance-first UX. We believe it makes more sense to layer social features on top of finance, than the other way around. This means we'll continue to experiment with features like copy-trading, feed-trading, and leaderboards. This is going to be hugely additive to the Base economy because it's going to drive more capital and users to every asset and app. Base app will be the best self-custodial wallet to trade and use every asset, globally accessible, with fast, simple onboarding for everyone, everywhere. Base chain will continue to be the best chain to build anything, now supercharged with even more distribution. We’re building this together, in the open, and seeing how people use the app keeps teaching us what matters most. Thank you for the continued feedback. Stay based.
