· 2026-07-16T19:13:11+00:00Nico believes Robinhood Chain is currently just a flash in the pan "I don't think it's massively here to stay. It's basically just a Base competitor and an Arbitrum Orbit chain. There's nothing fundamentally impressive other than Robinhood backing it." "We're yet to see [Spoken audio]: Hot takes on Robinhood chain. Where's your head at? I know it was, I faded it a little bit to start and then it occurred to me like, no, you cannot fade this. Do you think that Robinhood chain is a flash in the pan? Do you think that it's going to be a staple of our lives as magic internet money token traders? Where's your head at? I also initially faded it. I think it's again, like this contrarian nature of Robinhood is this like large monopoly thing. I was like, Oh, do I really want to align with them? Like, I don't know, whatever. Even though, again, like that's a perfect example of why sometimes you actually just got to go with the momentum and you've got to go with the signal that's there instead of trying to fade it for no reason. Right. I remember seeing it, I like sideways at like five to 10 mil for a while. And I was like, this could actually be interesting, whatever. Without for a few hours with some friends, come back, it's our 100 cash cuts, 100 mil. I'm like, well, fuck, that was, that was a, that was a buy still sized in over 100 mil and managed to ride it up to like 200. So not too bad and caught some other little runners lost some money on some other little runners. It is what it is. I don't think it's massively here to stay. Like the comparison I would make is that it's literally just like base competitor. And it's literally just an arbitram orbit chain. There's really nothing fundamentally impressive here other than just it's Robin Hood and they're backing it. I think we're yet to really see anything come from it that has any resemblance of like real culture or community. that's not just again like Robinhood hype beta. And I think that there seems to also fundamentally be issues with the chain with regards to bridging and awareness around what are the tools and launch pads dashboards that you even use on Robinhood because it's so new. And so I think like if we do, there may be a continuation just over the next few days, next week, because things are still hot, but I think like over the span of next couple of weeks, like things will get quieter and they'll need to like consolidate and really like keep building out their ecosystem for it to have any form of like long standing stuff. Just consider like how long base has been at this and how much liquidity there is on base and how much of like a pushback there was against that and how many like ebbs and flows, waves up and down they've had. I don't think that like Robin Hood's going to come here out of nowhere flashing the pan and just like win forever going forward.

· 2026-07-16T14:00:31+00:00Eric highlights distribution as a key pain point for founders, sharing how Base helps those building on their chain tackle this problem. "Distribution is one of the hardest parts of being a founder. Any founder will learn that the adage 'if you build it, they will come' isn't [Spoken audio]: Distribution is one of the hardest parts of being a founder. I know from being there myself and any founder will learn that the adage if you build it they will come isn't true. You need to go find those people before you really go seek distribution. Make sure that you find those hundred people who absolutely love your product, give you feedback. They aren't friends, they aren't family, they're people who will give you the real truth and tell you what's what. And you treat them like they're gods, do things that aren't scalable, talk to them at midnight. That's the way that you ensure that your product is truly valuable. People want to pay for it, make sure they're paying for it because that gives you proof for your product and then go get distribution. It's a common failure mode for startups is trying to get distribution before you have that initial proof. We aim to make sure that the way that we help with distribution is focused on teams that have hit that point of thrust. We're like, OK, it's time to step onto the big stage and push the gas, get the distribution, get people into the product, we're ready for it. We have several ways that we do that. You know, we've had base batches. We just finished base batches three, which was our own startup accelerator that we run. We also do we have base layer. We just finished our second season of base layer, which is a highly produced series that features founders on the chain who have had a lot of success in our building, really exciting projects. And then we also have, you know, this is part of distribution is having the right team behind you and the right supporters, the right investors, like they are part of your distribution network. It's not just about like, did you get a tag on socials? It's like, what are your distribution pipelines? The social distribution pipeline is very hard and it only gets more and more saturated. You need to have distribution pipelines that are a little bit more strategic. That would be my advice in some of the ways that base helps founders with that distribution problem.
· 2026-07-16T15:30:00.283000+00:00We built a fiat-to-mint flow for buyers who don't own a wallet. Notes from a small studio. Just wrapped up building a fiat-to-onchain checkout flow for a B2B project and wanted to get some feedback on the architecture from anyone who’s built similar bridges. The project is a transferable ERC-1155 membership pass on Base (capped at 200 total supply across three tiers) for a VR training company. Most of the buyers are traditional trades colleges and safety orgs who have zero crypto experience, so expecting them to connect a wallet at checkout was out of the question. The contract itself is already live on Base. The hard part wasn't writing the Solidity—it was connecting PayPal to an onchain mint without leaving room for weird, asynchronous edge cases.
