Bringing a billion people onchain 🔵

Base Launches its First Builder Quest & Brings New Developers Onchain 🔵

Base is bringing the next billion people onchain — by building a secure, scalable, developer-friendly L2 on Ethereum and empowering builders with the necessary tools to build great web3 apps.

To reward early builders, Base launched its first Builder Quest: an onchain challenge where users deploy a smart contract and earn a commemorative NFT on the Base testnet — designed by digital artist Andre Oshea.

In less than a month, over 1 million wallets deployed a smart contract & claimed the NFT. 🚀 

Learn more about how Base created the Builder Quest, bringing developers into its ecosystem & empowering them to build best-in-class onchain apps:
