Lessons learned from Base’s recent block building outage

TLDR: Base is for everyone — and this fall, we’re going global by meeting with builders around the world. We’ll start with a series of regional buildathons in Africa, India, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. The buildathons will run from September 27 to October 20, with 100 ETH in total prizes. Then in November, the Base team and Jesse Pollak will meet with builders in person in Nairobi, Bangalore, Bangkok, Singapore, and Manila, and virtually in Buenos Aires.

TLDR: This year for Onchain Summer, we invited people around the world to participate and showcased hundreds of onchain builders and creators — resulting in $5M+ in onchain revenue for builders, creators, and projects, 2M+ unique wallets participating in onchain experiences, and 24M+ onchain assets minted. The event highlighted how onchain puts ownership back in the hands of creators — and we're excited to continue spotlighting the projects and people driving an onchain future.

One of Base’s 2024 roadmap initiatives is making onchain accessible and affordable for everyone. We’re focused on delivering fast, low-cost transactions on a secure, decentralized L2 to enable global participation in the onchain economy.
