In the fast-paced world of blockchain and Web3, personal stories from builders often highlight the human side of tech innovation. Recently, Ambero, the CTO of CARV, shared a heartfelt reflection on his journey in a tweet that resonates with many in the crypto community—especially Chinese developers eyeing opportunities on Base, Coinbase's Ethereum Layer 2 network.

From Coinbase Newbie to Base Pioneer

Ambero joined Coinbase over four years ago when the crypto team was a tight-knit group of just 38 people. As one of the few Chinese engineers there, he quickly made his mark. Fun fact: Jesse Pollak, the creator of Base, was his onboarding mentor. Ambero later jumped into the Base team, contributing to its early development during a full market cycle that saw highs and lows in the crypto space.

Base, for those new to it, is an optimistic rollup on Ethereum designed for low-cost, high-speed transactions. It's gained massive traction for DeFi, NFTs, and now, increasingly, AI-driven projects. Ambero's experience at Coinbase gave him a front-row seat to how a Western-born chain like Base is evolving into a global platform.

Reconnecting with Base Through CARV

Fast forward to today, and Ambero is channeling that expertise as CTO at CARV, a project building an AI chain ecosystem focused on data sovereignty. CARV's native token, CARV, lives on Base, making it a perfect fit for seamless integration.

In his tweet, Ambero expressed excitement about Base's embrace of Chinese builders and communities. He quoted Jesse Pollak's post welcoming more Chinese creators to the ecosystem, noting the "based energy" flowing from that side of the world. As a Web3 veteran with nearly a decade in the game, Ambero finds it meaningful to reconnect and build on Base once more.

Jesse Pollak himself replied, saying he's "so grateful to be building with you so many years later," underscoring the lasting bonds in this industry.

Introducing CASHIE: The On-Chain Payment Assistant

But Ambero didn't stop at reminiscing—he dropped some fresh alpha too. Enter CASHIE (@cashieCARV on X), a new tool powered by CARV ID and Coinbase's AgentKit. Think of it as a decentralized payout bot that automates token rewards, tipping, and quest incentives on Base. Users can trigger actions with a simple "@" mention, all executed securely on-chain without centralized middlemen.

This is huge for creators, gamers, and devs in the AI and Web3 space. CARV's focus on data ownership pairs perfectly with tools like CASHIE, enabling fair value distribution in ecosystems where data is king. If you're into meme tokens or utility-driven projects on Base, keep an eye on how CASHIE could streamline community engagements and rewards.

Why This Matters for Meme Tokens and Beyond

At Meme Insider, we're all about the latest in meme tokens and blockchain tech. While CARV isn't a pure meme play, its AI angle and Base deployment open doors for memetic growth—think community-driven AI agents or data-backed meme economies. Stories like Ambero's remind us that behind every token and chain are real builders pushing boundaries.

If you're a developer, especially from the Chinese community, Base is calling. Tools like CASHIE make it easier than ever to build, reward, and scale. Check out the original thread for the full vibe, and follow CARV on X for updates.
