Some days you're deep in the build, and some days someone asks you to pause and talk about it. Today was the second kind. Thank you @blahk_sam and @MIA_by_Jamit for the conversation. Grateful to be part of the Made in Africa story.

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. Did I miss anything @saxenasaheb @akhil_bvs @AhaanRaizada ? Shared a couple of the available opportunities worth exploring in the comments 🧵

x402 volume on @base is going vertical
Agentic payment volume (x402) on Base is up, to the right 📈. This isn't just more transactions, bigger ones too, with a $30 median. Real businesses providing services to users who expect their agents to have full autonomy. An agentic strategy is no-longer optional.

For the first time this year, we brought the Base builder community together in Nigeria. The BASE BUILDERS MEET at UNILAG reminds us of the energy, talent and ambition that exists within the Base ecosystem in Africa. Builders working on different products, sharing ideas, exchanging perspectives, finding collaborators and exploring what becomes possible when we stop building in isolation. And that’s the goal of @base on campus; bring as much people onchain, one student at a time. Thank you @Web3Unilag @ALIPHATIC_F @jessepollak @dxfareedI for helping to make this happen. What campus do we visit next? zora.co/coin/base:0x720026bd…

fixed-rate markets for RWAs on @base teapaw.org/centrifuge/status/2117…
Centrifuge and @pendle_fi are bringing fixed-rate markets to real-world assets on @base. The collaboration opens the door for Centrifuge's growing range of tokenized assets to support fixed-yield positions and future yield trading. As institutional strategies integrate with DeFi, new ways to price, trade, and manage returns expand their utility across onchain markets.
