@baseapp.base.eth is pivoting toward a trading-first focus Since July, people have been actively using the app: creating, trading, saving, spending, and building onchain. Three clear takeaways came out of the feedback: - The app felt too “social” — a bit too web2 — and it didn’t reflect the full range of assets people actually want to trade - Everyone wants more high-quality assets onchain (a major opportunity if capital markets are truly moving onchain) - The feed is a great idea, but it needs to surface more than social tokens: apps, stocks, predictions, and every asset class What’s next: a trading-first direction, a more finance-first UX (social features on top, not the other way around), and a push to make everything tradable in one place — from protocols and apps to memes, prediction markets, and creators They also plan to keep experimenting with copy-trading, feed-based trading, and leaderboards

Polymarket has cut the share of fees going to makers on 15-minute crypto markets from 100% down to 20%, and this change is reflected in their official docs Polymarket has updated the terms of its Maker Rebates Program on 15m markets 👀 > 🗓 January 9–11, 2026 - 100% of taker fees from 15-minute crypto markets was sent to the rebate pool for makers > 🗓 From January 12 to 18, 2026 - only 20% goes into rebates, the rest is kept by the platform > Official docs: – Maker Rebates Program (main description and the 100% → 20% table): https://docs.polymarket.com/polymarket-learn/trading/maker-rebates-program – Version for market makers with the same numbers and a note that the percentage can change: https://docs.polymarket.com/developers/market-makers/maker-rebates-program Interesting question: will Polymarket only keep reducing that percentage? Or do they not want to take everything into their own pocket? Time will tell 🤭

@base.base.eth isn’t “crypto about technology” @base is about order: one recognizable symbol, one logic, one rhythm Here, visual identity doesn’t compete with the product — it supports it. Minimal details, maximum readability: so @base.base.eth is recognizable in the feed, in the interface, in a tiny icon, and on a big forma Color works as a marker, shape works as a signature, typography works as a voice. Together, it creates one feeling: @base.base.eth speaks clearly and to the point The communication style is the same: short, direct, no decoration. Not “we’re trying” — “we’re shipping” Not “it’s complicated” — “it’s clear” 🙂🚀✨
