It’s been 5 weeks since the @baseapp.base.eth beta launched at New Day 1. Since then, we’ve thoughtfully onboarded over 30K people. Here’s what we’ve learned so far 🧵 🧠 Key Learnings • Clear entry points for earning are critical • When people understand HOW rewards work, they engage more. • Social onboarding > wallet funding • More jargon can be killed (“slippage”, “marketcap”, etc.) • Simple, focused, and delightful mini-apps beat complex ones 👀 Behaviors We’re Seeing • Over 20% of people earn in week 1, just by making content • Posting → instant $ feels magical to people used to traditional social • Friend clusters through chat and invites lead to more engagement • AI agents + group chats unlock multiplayer magic • Social discovery is alpha. People want coins from friends or creators they know. • Alpha signals (top holders, volume spikes) drive buys Cont’d

Would love to see more work put into compatibility and interoperability with farcaster. Forcing people to choose is not a good strategy at this stage and will lead to increased friction and ultimately much worse UX (devs building miniapps having to deal with incompatibilities)

We believe in open protocols. Can you share specifically which area users have to choose and suggestions on what might be a better path? Strong agree we have mini-app compatibility issues to work on. Team is spiking IRL in SF next week for that. Want to join and help us test?
