What does good onboarding look like in crypto today? Not seed phrases. Not Discord chaos. Not bloated user flows built for devs. In the final episode of Code, Clout & Crypto with our friends from Ontology, we explored how a new class of builders—from games like Farville and Clankermon to platforms like Farcaster and the Base app—are creating onboarding that feels like play.

The Base App is taking on the attention economy—with ownership, upside, and community baked in. At Base’s A New Day One event, the spotlight wasn’t just on product drops. It was on creators. The founders, filmmakers, artists, and builders who’ve spent the last two decades turning the internet into what it is—without ever owning the upside. That changes now. This is the moment crypto becomes more than a tech stack. It becomes a creator stack.

📲 Base Enters a New Era: The App That Could Onboard the World At "A New Day One," Base didn’t just launch a rebrand. It launched a movement. The event, led by Base creator Jesse Pollak and Coinbase CEO and co-founder Brian Armstrong, was a rally cry for a new internet—one where social networks are open, creators own their work, and crypto actually works for everyone. What they revealed wasn’t just sleek design or a product drop. It was the blueprint for crypto’s next chapter: accessible, soc...

For all the buzz around staking, yield, and liquid tokens, few newcomers get the full picture of where DeFi came from, how it works, and why it matters now more than ever. In this special edition, we’re going back to the roots—and looking forward at how real-world assets, AI, and social infrastructure are reshaping what DeFi can be.

In our continued collaboration with Ontology, we shift our lens away from onchain gaming and toward one of the most technically promising—and frequently misunderstood—layers of Web3 tech: zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP).

As Web3 gaming matures, builders are rethinking how players earn, own, and express their digital identities. In the third installment of our collab series with Ontology we unpack how soulbound tokens (SBTs), zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), and interoperable asset design are shaping the next era of onchain games.

In the second installment of Ontology’s ongoing series exploring the intersection of gaming and decentralized identity, we brought together a panel of Web3 builders, technologists, and IP experts to unpack how social systems shape the design and evolution of onchain games.

What started as a lightweight alternative to hashtags has become a defining primitive for community onchain. But where do we go from here? Dan Romero, Co-founder of Farcaster, joined us to unpack the current state of Channels, why they matter, and what’s next.

Grab your coffee because today we're diving into something that’s been stirring up the Farcaster feeds lately—how the platform’s evolving and what it means for creators. From spicy debates around the new Farcaster Pro to its potential as the next big social super app, let’s break down what’s going on and what it means for us, the creators shaping the future of decentralized media.

We are kicking off a 4-part series with our friends at Ontology to explore the convergence of identity systems, gaming IP, and crosschain infrastructure in building the next generation of onchain games. If you enjoyed this new series, let us know so we can explore other collaborations.
