I skipped a $5,000 earning opportunity to keep my miniapp 100% free for the community.
This whole thing started with a simple question:
“How much are other users earning from Baseapp?”
I went looking for Baseapp’s old leaderboard… and realized it was gone.
checked my wallet
found the reward distribution wallet
I turned it into a Dune dashboard and shared it on X people loved it.
That’s when I realized something: A lot of users wanted this data… but couldn’t access it easily without a leaderboard.
I spent the next 2 weeks vibecoding + rebuilding with a more sustainable setup… and launched the current version.
Now I’m building V2:
✅ Leaderboards with PFP + username (no more copy-pasting addresses)
✅ Better profile pages: pfp, username, bio, follower count, Neynar score
✅ Visit any Baseapp profile directly from the miniapp
I’m paying for the API from my pocket, so yes pricing was an option: $2/week • $5/month • $10 lifetime
But I decided to keep it free for everyone
