I recently got asked to join a well known crypto company trying to grow their L2. It was a typical, fly to every conference try to sign partners, be present at hacker houses type thing. 

I told them they were wasting their time. The only thing that matters is their AI tooling (they have none). That’s the only thing that will bring growth and everything else is just a Press Release.

They were not ready to accept the truth.

they do have... https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/llms.txt and https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/llms-full.txt as a start

What other tooling do you wish they had, but don't? I agree, this is the best way forward - as more developers rely on their AI toolchain, it is ai that will help pick a winner

Applied AI, databases, data, vibe coding (sic.), open source, community/devrel, remote.

It wasn’t Base. I agree they are doing better than most and as a result a lot of people have success building on Base. An MCP server would be next. A prompt library would be good.

100% spot on. make it so easy that anyone can vibe code their way to stuff, then they try ideas out at the very least

More generally, not even just crypto, all of the ai tooling is for engineers. Someone is going to find massive growth making it work for non-engineers which is a way way huger market (ie loveable)

haha, oops. yup - i was thinking base was doing pretty well :) 

i guess i have no idea whom you're talking about, but if you wanna share, feel free to dm.

this whole event driven strategy suggests its marketing metric driven. devrel should be in the eng org
