But Base is building something different: a home for creators.
A place where artists, builders, and writers own their work on-chain.

➾ Why Do “Creators” Matter in Web3?
For the last cycle, crypto was defined by DeFi, trading, liquidity mining, yield farming, memecoins and leverage loops.
But the next evolution is deeper: creators, identity, and ownership are moving on-chain.
Web3 aims to transition creator-audience interactions from centralised platforms to a decentralised identity layer that can seamlessly integrate with any app.
Creators can allocate ownership and tokenise communities by turning their content into NFTs, tokens, and collectibles.
Followers hold tokens, fund DAOs, and trade digital identities.
With 100 million new users creating, owning, and earning on-chain, social capital will become financial capital.
➾ What Makes Base Creator-Friendly?
Base is a blockchain designed for creators, offering low fees and high scalability for microtransactions, tipping, NFT mints, and gamified drops.
Built on Ethereum, it inherits Ethereum's security and EVM compatibility, allowing creators to use existing smart contracts, tools, and marketplaces.
Base's Coinbase Onboarding Layer allows fans to buy NFTs or tip creators without CEX withdrawals or bridges.
The platform also invests in creators through initiatives like Base Camp, Onchain Summer, and Creator Quest.
Its open source ethos makes it easy for artists and developers to deploy creative experiments.
The next generation of creators won’t upload to platforms.
They’ll publish directly on-chain.
