Ethereum's Everything App Is Here: Why Base App Marks the Dawn of a New Internet

The unveiling of Base App is not just another product drop. It is a pivotal moment in Ethereum’s evolution, an inflection point for the internet itself. Built on top of Base, a layer-2 network secured by Ethereum, Base App finally aligns the vision of an onchain, user-owned economy with a product that everyday people can actually use.

From Infrastructure to Experience: Ethereum Gets a Front Door
Until now, Ethereum and most blockchains have felt like back-end plumbing—powerful, yes, but hard to access. With Base App, Coinbase has taken the blockchain out of the server room and put it in the hands of the consumer. This is not just a polished front end for the Base chain. It is a unified everything app that merges social media, commerce, communication, and finance into one seamless, interoperable experience.

When users open the Base App for the first time, many say, “Oh, this looks like a new social media app.” That reaction is valid. It does look familiar. But beneath the surface is a totally different engine, one powered by open protocols like Ethereum, Farcaster, XMTP, Zora, Uniswap, and over 88 EVM-compatible chains.

This is not Web2. This is not a platform where your creativity is exploited while someone else profits. This is a new economic model where you earn what you create. Every post is an asset. Every action has value. The market, not an algorithm, decides what your work is worth.

Web2 is broken. Web3 is beginning.
Look at the state of today's social media: reply spam, bots, AI-generated sludge, opaque algorithms, and platforms that siphon nearly all the value away from the very creators who make them worth visiting. Creators on traditional platforms like Instagram, YouTube, or Twitter earn less than 5 percent of the overall platform revenue.

In contrast, Base App is built from the ground up to reward the individual. You post; you earn. You share; you grow. You don’t have to wait 30 days for a payout. You don’t have to reach 10,000 followers. The second you create value, the market recognizes it and you get paid.
Some creators are already earning thousands. Brian Armstrong posted and earned $150,000 in a week. Jesse earned $30,000. Others, like Sierra made $3,000 or more with a single viral moment. And they didn't sell their content coins. They simply posted and held, because here, your content is not just a post. It is an asset.

Creators: This is your early window
We are still in the very early days. Daily active users number only in the thousands. But like Twitter in 2007 or TikTok in 2019, this is the time for new creators to carve out territory before the wave comes.
Coinbase actively supports new voices, especially in video content across verticals like fitness, food, beauty, business, tech, and fashion. If you are a creator with talent but no audience, Base App is your chance to grow from zero. You don’t need to be famous. You just need to be early.

A new content format for a new internet
There are three major content formats already emerging as dominant on Base App:

1. Video content, optimized for the global feed and across multiple verticals.
2. Crypto-native text, similar to the high-signal culture of crypto Twitter; short-form, clever, and meme-ready.
3. Mini apps, fully composable experiences built onchain that live inside posts and chat. These can be games, tools, shopping apps, interactive experiences, or financial utilities. You tap, you interact, and the experience is fully integrated: no redirects, no app stores.

These mini apps are especially powerful. Built by third-party developers, they are deployable instantly across the network. Imagine one-click commerce, viral games, or peer-to-peer payment tools shared directly in your feed. This level of composability has never existed in a mainstream social product until now.

This is not just social media. This is the future of the internet.
Every post is a coin. Every coin can be traded. Every trade creates earnings. Every action is onchain, verifiable, and open to all. That is not just a new app. That is a new internet.
It is a free-market content economy, not ruled by centralized algorithms but driven by open participation. If someone quote-posts your content, the system can even link their monetization back to your original post using bonded coin mechanics. It's a daisy chain of value that rewards creation and sharing in ways we have never seen.

For creators, this changes everything. You can earn passive income just from fees. You don’t have to dump your own coins to make money. The more you believe in your content and the more others do too, the more value you accrue automatically.
This is what ownership looks like in Web3.

Ethereum is outperforming and Base is built on top
Ethereum remains the backbone of this new economy. As of August 4, 2025:

• ETH is trading around $3,789, up over 43 percent in the last month.
• BTC is trading near $114,550, showing slower momentum by comparison.

You can track real-time Ethereum prices on CoinGecko, CoinDesk, or CoinMarketCap.
In Nigeria, Ethereum trades around ₦5.5 million per ETH, making onchain participation globally significant and accessible.

Ethereum's rise is fueled by increased regulatory clarity, growing institutional interest, and breakthroughs like tokenized treasuries and stablecoin legislation. As ETH rallies, Base App adds consumer traction. It is Ethereum's user layer, and it finally feels tangible.

A new dawn for creators. A new economy for all.
This is not about hype. It is not about speculation. It is about building an internet that respects your contribution and pays you for it. Web2 platforms made creators dependent and underpaid. Base App flips that. It makes everyone a participant in the onchain economy from day one.

If you are a creator, builder, developer, or just someone with ideas, this is your moment.
Base App is here. It is composable. It is open. It is global.
And it is only just beginning.
