Baby Base (BASE)

Sophon raised $60M to launch their own L2.

Spinning up the chain was easy. Getting anyone to actually bridge and use it? Not so much.

They're sunsetting the whole thing to build apps on Base instead.

x402 is processing nearly 500,000 transactions every day.

That's a significant jump.

AI inference is now leading network activity.

This isn't just about blockchain.

It's about giving AI agents a native way to pay and transact.

As AI infrastructure continues to grow through @OpenAI, @AnthropicAI, and @nvidia, onchain payment rails will become increasingly important.

Networks like @base and @ethereum are well positioned to support this shift, while infrastructure from @chainlink could help connect AI applications with real-world data.

Real use cases are starting to appear.

That's what makes this trend interesting.
