@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
