Abhitej Singh, co-founder of Filament Finance and Flashduels, just dropped a thread on X that's got the crypto community buzzing. Fresh off Base Camp—an invite-only event for builders on the Base network—he shared his top 10 moments that left him inspired and ready to dive deeper into onchain development. Base, for those new to it, is an Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution built by Coinbase, known for its low fees and vibrant ecosystem, including a ton of popular meme tokens like those that capture viral internet culture.

The event, held in Stowe, Vermont, brought together developers, founders, and enthusiasts to collaborate, share ideas, and push the boundaries of what's possible on Base. Abhitej's recap isn't just a photo dump; it's a glimpse into the real magic of these gatherings—building relationships, solving problems in real-time, and having some fun along the way. Let's break down his highlights.

Starting with the crew that made the trip unforgettable: the "FBI gang," as Abhitej calls them. This group drove from NYC to Stowe, diving into deep chats and backing each other up through the adventure. It's all about forging those long-term bonds at events like this. Shoutout to folks like @Saxenasaheb, @pythonhulk, and @josepaul_jp who were part of the vibe.

Next up, a chat with Jesse Pollak, the mind behind Base. They talked shop about $BASE token, Base Voices initiative, and onboarding new users to the chain. What stood out? Jesse's personal touch—he knew everyone's projects, tweets, and contributions. That's the kind of leader who makes young builders feel seen and motivated.

Then there was the "Show and Tell" session with the Base App and DevRel team. Abhitej presented his project, Flashduels, and got to learn from other builders launching mini-apps on Base. The highlight? Builders airing their pain points, and the Base team creating tickets on the spot to fix them. That's real-time collaboration at its best.

Abhitej gave props to his buddy @Saxenasaheb for showcasing the work of @BasedIndia, getting recognized alongside other top builders. These little acknowledgments? They fuel the daily grind in crypto.

Adventure time: The hike. When the gondola broke down, Abhitej and Akshit decided to trek up with 15kg backpacks. It was tougher than expected, and they had to get rescued as night fell. But hey, it made for epic laughs and a story to tell at the next Base Camp.

The drive from NYC to Stowe was pure therapy, with fall colors popping and great company from @Saxenasaheb and @IshikaMukerji. Sometimes, the journey is as important as the destination in building these connections.

Workshops and panels were thoughtfully curated, with plenty of time for Q&A. Standouts included "Building Network States" by @XenBH, "Code to Content" by @BoysClubWorld, a fundraising panel featuring @MariaShen, @jakub_rusiecki, and others, plus "Arming the Trenches" with @o1_exchange. These sessions are gold for anyone looking to level up in the blockchain space.

One of the most open moments: Teams like @baseapp inviting roasts from builders, users, and creators. It fostered honest feedback, and Abhitej's input even earned him a special rock-themed memento. Big ups to @chintanturakhia for embracing it all—it's why so many are bullish on Base App.

Unlocking hidden talents: Cornhole! Abhitej discovered he's got skills in this lawn game, comparing it to trap shooting. He's already eyeing a championship at the next event. (Check out the video in his original thread for the action.)

Finally, meeting online friends IRL and making new ones. Sharing journeys, pitching ideas like Flashduels, and getting feedback—it's the wholesome side of crypto that keeps the community strong.

Base Camp isn't just an event; it's a catalyst for the onchain revolution, especially in the meme token world where Base has become a hotspot for viral projects. Low-cost transactions make it perfect for meme creators to launch and engage communities without breaking the bank. If you're into meme tokens or building on blockchain, threads like Abhitej's show why getting involved in ecosystems like Base can supercharge your projects.
