what do you love or wish was better about trading on @baseapp

No offense, but the UI feels extremely cluttered. There's too much going on, and it's overwhelming. Phantom showed a clear example of how simplicity works, but this seems to go in the opposite direction. Honestly, I'm struggling to see how this setup is meant to onboard everyday users.

4/ Send/Request views are okay, but they feel small. Why only use 3/4 of the screen? You’ve got the space, use it.
Chat and Notifications tabs? Both are minimal and well done. No notes there.

5/ Wallet tab needs help. NFTs shouldn’t clutter the UI. Tuck them behind a button near Buy/Trade/Send/Request. I’ll click if I want to see the scam NFTs sent to me.

6/ Now the tokenized posts: I minted one, no one bought, and now I’ve got a token in my wallet showing $0.40 earned. But when I try to cash it out? No liquidity.

7/ So why show it in my wallet? Why show the token at all?
Most users don’t want to see 100s of random tokens named after their posts. That should all be hidden. Right now, it’s just noise and confusion.

1/ Open Phantom next to your app and ask: how did they onboard so many users?
Not saying you need fewer features. I like the all-in-one approach. But UX matters. Right now, it’s just too much.

2/ Landing on the homepage is overwhelming. A massive, clunky overview right away turns new users off. Kill the home tab and break things into simple bottom tabs.

3/ Social tab? Clean and minimal. I love it.

Transact tab (Trade, Send, Request)? Why is half the screen trending tokens? Show my tokens and holdings more prominently. Less upselling.

Thanks for the feedback! Could you please tell me more—what exactly feels overwhelming?
