normie-first, ai-infra for meme-fi & onchain
The problem @based infrastructure solves
Before the project, natives struggled launching onchain apps that were both viral and usable. Most meme coins lacked infrastructure, and most dApps lacked community-building tools. Developers had to rebuild minting, feeds, and discovery from scratch—often ending up with fragmented, low-retention experiences.
https://base.buzz solves this by offering a fully integrated infrastructure stack:
• A Zora x Pump.fun-style minting engine
• A Twitter-style social layer (feeds + chat per app/token) with mint and ai integration
• A transparent open-source ranking system
Any developer can now launch a meme coin, token or social app on Base and immediately tap into a real-time community stream—without writing social infra or waiting for approval. Or mint anything,
Challenges I ran into
The plot twist no one saw coming… was that building a consumer-grade, modular protocol for both normies and devs is extremely hard.
• We had to balance a clean frontend experience with the complexity of integrating onchain events, wallet auth, and open ranking logic.
• Building a scalable feed system that could handle thousands of tokens/apps while staying responsive was a core technical challenge.
• We also had to be deliberate about decentralization—creating an onboarding flow with zero gatekeeping while still filtering spam.
In the end, we combined client-side filtering, ssr, a composable API, and ranking logic inspired by Twitter’s OSS algorithm to make it all work. It’s now stable, scalable, extensible, and fully user-driven Bases infrastructure.
