Base

We’ve officially wrapped up our journey with IncuBase from @base Batch 001! Out of 2,800+ teams across six regional buildathons, Mint.club was selected as one of the 77 finalists — and also got invited to the Network School by @balajis.eth (only 8 teams did!). I couldn’t join this time due to family matters, but still super honored.

When we entered this space, most players like pump dot fun were only focused on launching brand new tokens — starting from zero again and again. That led to 7 million+ tokens being minted, most of them quickly dumped and forgotten.

Mint.club is taking a different path: token families. Instead of launching from scratch, you build on top of existing ERC-20s. Start from what you love. Create child tokens or NFTs that strengthen the parent token and unlock new ways to play with your community.

This shift is already happening on Base. Mint Club has 32,000+ child tokens and NFTs live, and other players like Zora and Clanker are starting to explore this token-rooted model too.

Huge thanks to @jessepollak for the sharp Demo Day question (and for being a Mint Club fan 😄). We love building on Base — not just for the support and good vibes, but because Base is about pioneering, not copy-pasting.

Also big shout to @statuette for supporting us since day one, and to @linda, @v, @ted, and the Farcaster team — without Farcaster, Mint Club would’ve never found its way to Base.

We believe the future of onchain markets starts here — and Mint.club will help shape it.
