Hey there, crypto enthusiasts! If you’ve been keeping an eye on the Base blockchain, you’ve probably noticed some exciting developments. Recently, shaaa from the Base team dropped a thought-provoking tweet that’s got the community buzzing. Posted on July 31, 2025, at 15:06 UTC, the message hinted at active efforts to help Base asset issuers get more support from the Listings Team. But the real gem? They’re asking builders like you for input! Let’s dive into what this means and what the community is suggesting.

What’s the Buzz About?

For those new to the scene, Base is an open blockchain platform built by the folks at Coinbase, designed to make it easier for developers to create apps and tokens. Asset issuers—think of them as the creators of these tokens—are a big part of this ecosystem. The Listings Team, on the other hand, handles which tokens get the green light to be traded or featured on major platforms. Shaaa’s tweet suggests they’re working on ways to reward these issuers beyond just getting listed, which is a game-changer for builders.

The question posed was simple yet powerful: “Other than getting listed, what else would you as a Base builder want to see?” This open invitation has sparked a flood of ideas from the community, and we’re here to break it down for you.

Community Suggestions: What Builders Want

The thread is a goldmine of creativity, with builders sharing their wishlist for the Base ecosystem. Here’s a rundown of the top ideas:

Leaderboards and Recognition: Randy Chavez suggested a leaderboard to highlight top-performing tokens like $OMI. Imagine a dashboard showcasing tokens with real-world impact, like the hundreds of brands working with $OMI. It’s a great way to give credit where it’s due and boost visibility.
Embracing Meme Culture: zk_lmao pointed out the power of memes, especially with tokens like $CHAD thriving on Base. Memes are the internet’s universal language, and leaning into this culture could attract more users. Think of it as the “Chad meme takeover”—a hit among Coinbase interns—that could be a blueprint for future engagement.
Philanthropy and Real-World Impact: Posts from Oldzookeepergame and CryptoNautMoon highlighted projects like AeroBudCoin, which use blockchain for good. They’re pushing for Base to support altruistic initiatives, connecting on-chain communities with off-chain causes. How cool would it be to see your token help a cat like Domino from the heartwarming rescue story shared in the thread?
Dashboards for Trust: Jean-Paul Faraj proposed a dashboard with key metrics—launch date, volatility, team info, and more. This could help builders and investors make informed decisions, building trust in the ecosystem. Picture a cute puppy checking crypto charts (yes, there’s an image for that!) to make it relatable.
Early Access and Feedback Loops: Va Len Tyn and Juliaa called for ecosystem grants and faster dev feedback. Early access to resources and direct input from the Base core team could accelerate innovation, giving builders a head start.

The $OMI Debate: Success or Stagnation?

One token that popped up a lot is $OMI, which Foster Hilt praised as the 16th token bridged to Base in Q1 2024. The accompanying meme images (showing “basepay” outshining Google Pay and Apple Pay) are a playful nod to Base’s potential. But not everyone’s convinced. 78Retaerab raised valid concerns: despite the hype, $OMI lacks utility, volume, or major exchange listings seven months later. This sparked a debate about what “building on Base” really means—bridging a token versus creating real adoption.

Why This Matters for 2025

As we roll into August 2025, this conversation is timely. Base is positioning itself as more than just a chain—it’s a hub for creators and a global economy, as noted on base.org. With the Listings Team stepping up, builders have a chance to shape the future. Whether it’s through memes, philanthropy, or data-driven dashboards, the community’s ideas could define the next chapter of Base.
