Public team and not even bonded! 0xfbd1bf9d354cd8197ab54f80778c03cc468adaaf Virtuals team pushing it ? Lol wild Ape it asap [Spoken audio]: Their event a little bit more. I do have one project that a couple people keep mentioning to me But hold on just a second here What's uh What are people saying to you? I mean this might be a little bit of alpha? I guess I mean again I don't know about this, but I've had a couple people in my DMs talking about then Hmm, have you seen the then a project yet? I I saw earlier today I skipped through it. I didn't dig that into it. Do you want to share it? Do you have any information about it? Or anyone who launched an NFT minting and staking protocol on the Robinhood chain right at the start? How interesting. In their NFT process, every user basically can acquire a Silver VPIC. It's a pickaxe for a mint fee of 0.01E. If they choose, they can use the Forge system to upgrade their pickaxes to gold, platinum, diamond, emerald, different levels, right? The higher the tier, the higher the minting power. Now, I haven't used this product. I'm not in, you know, supporting it. I'm more just showing what people are building, like across the ecosystem. And Their goal is to combine staking and mining under one roof, right? So to support the staking pool, all the revenue that's generated from the NFT mitts is used to buy and burn Vena from the market and transfer it to the staking pool, basically creating this continuous loop. Interesting, I'm checking out Vena as the speaker right now. I'm checking out your website, you know, basically staking is interesting. So they're gonna have a game, right? They're gonna have a game called Venom Land, and users will be able to access the game by holding a specific amount of Venom. So again, they might be quite a bit of Ponzinomics here, but this is also the stuff that people in the community are interested in. So, you know, Raxle, Mintley, Stargazer, you know, we have some of these projects, Vex, We have some of these projects that are probably more closely, like, I wouldn't say aligned, but that we're aware of, right? And then you have a lot of builders, Umi, and the community that, like, they are deep, deep in the trenches. And they see something like this and it's like, hey, there's a need for this type of stuff as well, right? There's definitely like an appetite out there. When I saw then initially it brought me back to the heavy metal and ape days, right? Did you participate or did you know about any of that with their mining in the lands? Actually, I'm learning here at Sweet's Peak. This is my first time learning it. I'm just like, well, I haven't had a Sweet here. They're just like, checking it out. Yeah, well, this was something that was with the Board Ape Yacht Club, right? We basically got the heavy metals that you minted. um there's a whole gamification process going on but but then they had the these lands at some point that you would also need to go in and and develop and i'll tell you i spent so much time like online playing this and and it was at some that sometimes it was like tedious and just agonizing because it would take you the more you built your land out the the the longer it would take to like refresh until you could do something else on your land. So when you started playing every five minutes, every 10 minutes you could do something. Once you got further along, it would take like eight hours to refresh, right? And there was a longer in time period of the game. So I remember sometimes like it was late at night and just telling my wife, hey, I got to stay up for 42 more minutes and then I'll be able to do all my moves on the land. And then we can go to bed, right? Because it's gonna keep going when we sleep. And so when I saw Venna, I definitely was impressed with the graphics. And the fact that they have the game coming up is pretty cool. So yeah, I think it's important in this space, Umir, that not only do we talk about the projects that are million dollars plus, but a project like Venna who apparently already has a pretty committed community because my DMs are definitely getting hit up." ### Post #10 by @AIonBase_ > **Author:** AI on Base ([@AIonBase_](https://x.com/AIonBase_)) > **Metrics:** 28 likes · 13 retweets · 15 comments · 1.2K views > **Posted:** 2026-07-09T04:17:57+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/AIonBase_/status/2075071936607215692](https://x.com/AIonBase_/status/2075071936607215692) > **Visual Note:** This image displays a list of 10 trending AI tokens on the Base network in the last 24 hours, with their tickers and market caps.
