Base just announced 12 carefully selected ecosystem projects from its official accelerator, which I believe sends an important strategic signal:
@base prioritizes the development of potential on-chain ecosystems over creating a unified stack independently of the OP superchain.
These 12 projects were selected from 1,175 applications by the @base official accelerator. They cover potential sectors such as DeFi, prediction markets, AI agents, and payments. These are truly top-tier projects, with a higher level of quality than previous rounds.
The information for these 12 projects is as follows:
1/ @BlockRunAI
Sub-sector: AI Agent Infrastructure / x402 Payment
Provides LLM, tools, and data access routes for AI Agents, and enables pay-per-request functionality via the x402 protocol.
2/ (Stealth Project)
Sub-sectors: Prediction Markets
To develop a new type of leverage primitive for market forecasting and improve trading capital efficiency.
3/ @0x4Mica
Sub-sectors: AI Agent Micropayment/Clearing Infrastructure
Provides collateralizable, batch-settled clearing infrastructure for AI Agents' high-frequency micro-trading.
4/ @opal_dex
Sub-sector: DeFi / Privacy-Sustainable DEX
A privacy-preserving perpetual contract DEX that supports cryptocurrency and RWA trading, and features sealed-seal matching and "market maker blind" privacy.
Sub-sectors: Prediction Markets / Social Gamification
A gamified social prediction market platform that combines social chat with betting experiences.
6/ @credifi
Sub-sector: DeFi / Unsecured Lending
A collateral-free lending protocol based on zkTLS and on-chain credit scoring lowers the barrier to entry for DeFi lending.
Sub-sector: DeFi / Creator Economy Lending
A platform that provides collateralized stablecoin loans to creators based on verifiable revenue (such as Google AdSense).
8/ @AgentlyHQ
Sub-sector: AI Agent Coordination/Transaction Routing
The AI Agents coordination and transaction routing layer supports multiple agents working together to complete complex tasks and on-chain payments.
Sub-sectors: DeFi / Forex Hedging
On-chain foreign exchange hedging and forward exchange rate locking agreements for SMEs and cross-border enterprises help manage exchange rate risks.
10/ @jpegapp
Sub-sectors: Prediction Market / Opinion Market
A photo-based opinion/viewpoint marketplace where users bet on images, with the highest bet resulting in a winner.
11/ @FloeLabs
Sub-sectors: AI Agent Credit/DeFi
Provide credit granting and credit infrastructure for AI Agents and institutions, supporting payment scenarios such as x402.
12/ @liminalcash
Sub-sector: Neobank / AI-native bank
An AI-native, self-managed digital bank that integrates self-managed wallets, payments, and intelligent financial management functions.
Base will most likely become one of the key battlegrounds for on-chain ecosystem innovation in this crypto cycle; let's wait for the right opportunity.
