BASE ON CAMPUS: From Bringing Students Onchain to Empowering Student Builders
When we started Base on Campus, the goal was simple: introduce students to Base and show them what was possible onchain.
Since then, we’ve taken that mission across six campus tours, meeting students, starting conversations about blockchain, and bringing more people into the ecosystem.
But the journey has been about more than just showing up on campuses.
Here’s what we’ve been building.
Introducing Base to campus communities
We took Base directly to students, creating opportunities for them to learn about blockchain, explore onchain applications, and understand how they could participate in the growing onchain economy.
Beyond our campus activations, we also reached out to Heads of Departments to explore introducing Base Blockchain Societies within universities. The goal was to create communities that could sustain learning, collaboration, and builder activity beyond a single campus visit.
Bringing people onchain
We helped students take their first steps into crypto, including giving some their first crypto assets and onboarding students to the Base App, now Coinbase Wallet.
For many, these interactions were their first real exposure to using an onchain product.
Every conversation and onboarding experience reinforced an important idea: adoption starts when people get the opportunity to experience the technology themselves.
What comes next?
As we look toward our seventh campus tour, we’re expanding our focus.
Africa doesn’t just need more people learning about blockchain. We also need more builders creating useful products and finding the people who will actually use them.
This is where Base Builders Meet comes in.
As part of our next chapter, we’re bringing builders working on financial products together in one room to connect, share ideas, explore opportunities, and discuss what it takes to build products that solve real problems.
The bigger ambition is to connect these builders with real campus communities where their products can be tested, improved, and introduced to early users.
Campus Tour 7: UNILAG
Our seventh tour is an opportunity to take this vision further.
We’re moving from simply introducing students to Base toward strengthening the relationship between builders, their products, and the communities they serve.
Six tours have helped us start the conversation. Now, we want to help create the conditions for more building, collaboration, and adoption.
Base on Campus is growing, and we’re just getting started.

I’ve spent the last few weeks working on a @base builders meetup in Africa. This meetup is centered at ensuring Base builders in Africa ALSO get the most support and recognition for their products.
We’ve reached out to a couple of builders building products that align with the current vision of Base and this is a call for more builders building sustainable products on Base.
The builders meetup would be one for the books in Africa, and as a pre-event to the main event, we would be hosting interviews with some notable builders across Africa and the rest of the world, building sustainable products on Base; asking them WHY they choose Base.
A very eventful next couple of weeks for builders on Base in Africa and we would need as much support as possible from everyone.
We are seeking strategic partners and sponsors to support our upcoming initiatives and help us create greater impact. Organizations interested in exploring a partnership are welcome to reach out via DM.

11 ideas to ensure maximum stock maxxing
xitter.gq/_michaeleric_/status/2…
ARE WE STILL STOCK MAXXING? $100k on the line.
A quick Based rundown
🟦 Tokenized stocks are now real onchain assets that trade 24/7 and can now be used as collateral all onchain, all on @base. Tokenized stocks just also hit a new daily volume high above $140 million.
🟦 The Denim upgrade is live with 200 millisecond blocks and tighter timestamps, making trading and agent execution super duper fast.
🟦 Agentic trading tools keep expanding so agents can handle crypto, perps, and stocks, with volume growing roughly 20% week over week.
🟦 Agentic payments continue climbing as real businesses get paid by agents on Base.
🟦 Stocks are heavily used for borrowing and yield on Aave and a $100k competition is running for innovative ways to use tokenized stocks.
🟦 And of course, no better place to lend your stables than on @base.

We brought builders to @base and asked those already building on the ecosystem one simple question: What’s your favourite thing about Base?
One response stood out:
“Base is for everyone.”
We caught up with @dxfareedI, co-founder of @getGuapApp, to find out why he chose to build on @base.
His answer highlights something that makes the Base ecosystem special; the strength and support of the communities on Base.
And as the QT rightly points out, we need MORE communities on Base.
Because building is one thing. Having a community that supports you, connects you with others and helps you grow is another.
Are you building on Base? Find your people, connect with Base top chads and also accounts like @jessepollak @1CrypticPoet @saxenasaheb @Nibel_eth @XenBH, get involved and help grow the ecosystem.

BASE NEEDS MORE COMMUNITIES!
With the Trencher Program, Base is supporting community-led initiatives driving trading activity and ecosystem growth and I’m excited to see how this unfolds.
But we need more. We need communities championing different narratives, sharing alpha, connecting people to opportunities, and ensuring more people benefit from what’s being built on Base.
At Base on Campus, our focus is on students and emerging builders, helping them find their feet in the ecosystem, access available resources, and build finance-focused products.
Every builder, trader, creator or newcomer should have a community they can turn to for insights, opportunities and the latest alpha.
I’d love to see more active Base communities pushing different visions that keeps the ecosystem thriving.
Let’s see some active communities on @base represented in the comments. And if you’re looking to start one, I’d be happy to help.
And shout out OGs like @carlosjmelgar @toady_hawk @1CrypticPoet @ShaneJ0x @techy0x pioneering community led initiatives to get the word of @base out there.
And also @jessepollak @saxenasaheb @Nibel_eth for constant support of these emerging communities.

If you are building for tokenized stocks we want to hear from you
After @EFDevcon & @ETHGlobal in Mumbai we are continuing to work with every team in this vertical and beyond
We will also continue supporting and incubating teams we believe should deploy on @base

Not only is it creative and cultural... it's contributing to real positive network effects for Base.

I had a lot of fun making this content.
Rightfully so, I was talking about @base S tier projects, so yeah.
HOW MANY BASE PROJECTS ARE ACTUALLY S TIER?
I ranked projects building on @base with projects like @feeldotcash & @verantaxyz making huge waves.
What’s your favorite project from the list?
Which projects should I rank next?
What would your tier list look like?

I believe the Base Academy is a great way to onboard more people into the ecosystem, especially students, and I’m especially keen on seeing how the Base team executes that.
For us at Base on Campus, it would be an opportunity to introduce students to Base, help them understand the ecosystem, and give them the knowledge to start building.
But onboarding is just the beginning. There are several other opportunities and support systems available for everyone building on Base.
From Builder Grants and Quests to Community Support, Team Office Hours, and Creator Grants, Base provides different pathways to help builders get the resources, guidance, funding and visibility they need to grow.
