Base is planning to launch a new coin, so needless to say, just find an angle to play with it. The content is very large, so I first sorted out a wave of basic interaction ideas, and then wrote a tutorial around this idea.

*Old wallet

Use old wallets with historical Ethereum activity to interact, and try not to choose new wallets.

* Token balance

There must be a balance on the base chain, and considering holding "tokens with high market value in the Base ecosystem" instead of stablecoins & ETH, it is speculated that the "long-term holding amount" after time weighting will be considered.

*NFT holders

Hold Base chain native NFTs, and it is also best to hold "several NFTs of leading Base ecosystem leaders."

*Smart contract interaction

Engage in "long-term interactions" with a large number of different Base ecological projects, give priority to well-known projects, and achieve in-depth participation.

*Defi activities

Trading different tokens on Dex, providing liquidity/lending in Defi protocols, and guessing that we will also look at the time-weighted "long-term Defi trading volume".

*Interaction frequency

At least weekly interactions should be achieved, and separate months and weeks may become the standard.

*Ethereum mainnet activity

The leader of L2 is Ethereum after all. It is safer to keep the balance on the mainnet and maintain active records of ecological interactions.

*Gitcoin donation/DAO voting user/super chain

Gitcoin on-chain donations have shown that several L2s have this condition; DAO voting has found several projects led by Base to participate in multiple governance; Base is built on superchain and may give back to superchain users.

The above is definitely just the basics of the basics, and I personally think it is not yet perfect. There are many more people playing with coins now than before. If Base wants to issue coins, the threshold for address screening and airdrops will probably be much higher than the previous L2.

Based on the tweets I wrote before, let’s continue talking about @base’s perspective.

To invest in Base, you must interact with projects in the Base ecosystem. So, why not invest in some pre-launch projects as well? One interaction, two airdrops.

The following projects are all based on the Base chain. They all have raised funding, most likely in 2025. New projects always hold more promise. Furthermore, these projects are backed by either Coinbase Ventures or the Base ecosystem fund, demonstrating strong ties.

@farcaster_xyz: Raised $180M in funding, a decentralized social network.

@trylimitless: Raised $7M, a prediction market for cryptocurrencies and stocks.

@senpi_ai: Raised $4M, an AI-powered wallet.

@o1_exchange: Raised 4.2M, mainly used to purchase Meme coin on Dex.

@HeyElsaAI: Raised 3M, AI trading assistant.

@paragraph_xyz: We acquired Mirror in September and positioned it as a Web3 creator platform.

@glider_fi: Raised $4M to develop a token portfolio automation protocol.

@RemixGG_: Raised $5M, an AI-driven video game creation platform.

Let’s continue to expand the idea of ​​interactive @base.

*Base App

It is recommended to use @Baseapp (formerly Coinbase Wallet) for interaction. This is the app that Base officials are now fully promoting.

There’s also a Chorme plugin for the web, but its focus is on mobile. The app’s homepage will push content about trending tokens, various Basechain DApps, and NFT minting.

Base App: https://coinbase.com/wallet

There is also a Beta test version, you can sign up for it: https://join.base.app

*Creator Dapp

Base currently emphasizes the concept of "Create and Earn." The official focus is on Dapps that focus on "content creation" and "social interaction." Therefore, you can interact with leading Dapps in these fields, such as @zora and @farcaster_xyz .

Zora: Create a Profile, activate your own Creator Coins, and then top up a small amount to buy other creators' posts. https://zora.co

Farcaster: Use the built-in wallet to trade, bid on NFT collections several times a week, subscribe to Pro membership, purchase official NFTs, use the popular Mini App, join Channels to interact with others... There is no fixed way to interact. https://farcaster.xyz

As for other Creator Dapps, you can refer to this tweet for interaction: https://x.com/jessepollak/status/1969413714798657943

*Defi Dapp

DeFi protocols are likely unavoidable, and Base will likely also consider users' DeFi activity and then filter addresses. You can choose a few leading projects to interact with in depth.

@AerodromeFi: Leading DEX. Provide liquidity to mine AERO tokens, lock AERO tokens, and participate in voting. https://aerodrome.finance/liquidity

@MorphoLabs: Lending protocol. The main way to participate is to deposit USDC on the Base chain and do on-chain financial management. https://app.morpho.org/base/earn

@avantisfi: Perp Dex. You can deposit stablecoins into a treasury to provide LP, or actively trade perpetual swaps. https://avantisfi.com/earn For other DeFi Dapps, you can follow DeFiLlama: https://defillama.com/chain/base

*Superchain interaction

Base is built on OP's Superchain, so when issuing tokens, it may give back to this ecosystem. One way to participate is

@SuperchainEco, users can create Super Accounts, run Campaigns, and claim badges based on their interactions. https://account.superchain.eco/welcome Although it claims to be the "unofficial headquarters" of OP and the Superchain ecosystem, I saw that the OP Official Twitter followed this project, and some of the badge task requirements there should be used as a reference for interaction.
