The "Basenames" Identity System
Base recently launched Basenames, which are unique usernames (like yourname.base.eth) built on the ENS (Ethereum Name Service) infrastructure. What makes them special is that they aren't just names; they are on-chain social profiles.
When you get a Basename, you can link your social links, bio, and even your Farcaster FID directly to it. For a developer like you, this is a goldmine because instead of searching through different databases, you can often pull a user's entire social identity just by looking up their .base.eth name on the blockchain. It is designed to be the "one name" you use for everything—finance, social media, and gaming—across the entire Base ecosystem.
