last night was hella fun tbh… was on Ansem’s livestream on X which he hosted with base founder Jesse base seams to be shipping a bit of more volume recently… - they hired an influencer - few runners recently on base is it looking like base szn? [Spoken audio]: I know uh could you speak a little bit about like the direction that you guys are going with base now I know um you talked a little bit about about social and the direction with social um you talked a little bit about why about why you guys are like shifting focus right now um and what you thought could have gone better that that didn't go as well as you planned or what your intentions were before yeah yeah well I wrote all this out I think in a post yesterday morning but you know I spent basically all of 2024 and 2025 making two bets as we were bringing base to the world. The first was a bet on builders. Basically, every innovation, whether it's in Silicon Valley or elsewhere in the world, we think it's been created by builders, and we think that the same thing could happen with crypto, that the next wave of use cases, the next wave of adoptions can be created by the people who are building the products that actually drive it. The second bet was on social creators, content, messaging, tokenization of creators and content. And I think as we kind of came into 2026, we took a step back and we saw that the bet on builders, 100% right. In fact, the builders had driven the next way of adoption with crypto, with perpetuals, with predictions, with stablecoins. And then I think when you looked at the social bet, it wasn't there. And so we basically kind of pulled a shift right at the beginning of 2026, reshifted the base apps focus to trading, shifted the chains focus to trading and payments and agents, basically focus on upgrading the financial system. And I said in the post yesterday, when you spend two years making one good bet but one maybe bad bet or wrong bet, making a pivot like that, it's a hard thing to do. And I feel like a lot of the first half of this year was kind of starting to play.
