Based on blockchain records, Farcaster data, and media reports, the first post on Base (the Coinbase-incubated Ethereum L2 social app) that included an image was Jesse Pollak’s (Base’s creator) “Day One” selfie, posted on July 16, 2025, at 18:04 UTC. This marked the public launch event for the Base app, where posts are tokenized as tradable ERC-20 assets via Zora’s protocol. Key Details: • Content: A selfie of Jesse Pollak, captioned simply “DAY ONE”. It symbolizes the official start of on-chain social posting on Base, emphasizing creator ownership and tradability. The image shows Pollak smiling against a neutral background, likely from the launch stage in San Francisco. • Why it’s the first with an image: • Base’s beta phase began around July 10, 2025, but the earliest confirmed tokenized post (“Starter Pistol”) was a text-only announcement by Pollak: “a number of things have happened that feel like the starter pistol of the next chapter of crypto …”.

BASE IS EATING EVERYONE’S LUNCH IN 2025 🚀💙 $5B+ TVL (2nd biggest L2), 15.4M txns in a single day, 844K daily wallets, $4.5B stables locked. Chain’s moving like it’s possessed. Jesse just flipped the script: “we exploring a token” after two years of “never.” Airdrop farmers foaming, Solana bridge live, DWF dropping $75M on Base DeFi. Liquidity about to go supernova. Gas cheaper than your ex’s excuses, sequencer only cried once this year (33 mins, she’s fine). If you’re still paying 50 gwei on mainnet in 2025 you hate money and joy. Bridge in, ape something, build something, whatever—just get on Base before the token hits and we all buy islands. 50B TVL loading. Who’s bridging right now? Drop your @ or I’m judging you forever 😤🔵
