Who Can Succeed Friend.Tech? Top 10 Consumer-Grade Crypto Apps on Base Worth Watching
The name Base itself is gradually evolving from a Degen base to a consumer application base.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insights
Infrastructure abounds while applications remain scarce—this is the classic state of today’s crypto market.
Moreover, most existing applications are still confined to financial use cases. Projects that truly focus on consumer-facing applications—leveraging cryptocurrency incentives to impact users’ daily lives—are often overlooked.
As Web3 continues to expand beyond niche circles and gain broader recognition, Base could very well be at the heart of the next wave of consumer-grade applications.
Since Friend.Tech faded from the spotlight, Base has quietly incubated numerous innovative consumer applications. Backed by institutions like Coinbase, these apps are now drawing increasing attention from VCs and emerging markets.
The name “Base” itself is gradually evolving—from a haven for degens into a hub for consumer applications.
Here’s a quick overview and introduction to some of the most noteworthy consumer crypto applications currently gaining traction on Base.
