Base Swiper
Tinder for Zora
The problem Base Swiper solves
Base Swiper turns Zora collectibles on Base into a mobile-first, swipe-driven discovery app.
Swipe to explore; swipe right to instantly buy. Embedded wallet reduces clicks and simplifies checkout, making discovery faster and less intimidating for new users.
Challenges I ran into
- Getting auto-signing to work seamlessly with embedded wallets (started with privy, continued with dynamic and finished the job with web3auth)
- Handling Zora API to create a meaningful feed (indexing of cards etc.)
- Create a smooth experience for the user
- The embedded browser in the Base app and Farcaster hindered social login mechanics due to safety guidelines enforced by google and social providers

Who are your closest competitors and how are you different?
- Competes with Zora’s UI (acts differently, both can work together)
- Base Swiper = swipe UX + instant buy, not search-heavy browsing

What is your distribution strategy and why?
- Base + Zora ecosystem exposure and hackathon traction
- Grow through Base + Zora ecosystem integrations
- Creator partnerships
