Base is making it easier for financial apps to build better products. @base ’s “Under the hood, powering global finance” points to apps offering higher yields and lower fees to their customers. That means Base is not just a settlement layer, the products built on it can have a real economic edge. Stock Maxxing is still running, with prizes for people building agentic finance tools and products around tokenized stocks, and a big part of the score comes from actual onchain usage. Posts like “Guess the ticker ____c” also signal that new stocks keep getting added. For builders, both the infrastructure and a rewarded competition are open at the same time. I think the point is Base giving financial apps a real advantage in shipping better products. Higher yields + lower fees + incentives to build on tokenized stocks make onchain finance more practical. Still the most logical place to build. 🟦 (📷According to X rules, a paid partnership has been selected. It is not investment advice or a paid partnership.)
