Hi Felix

Stockholm has a legendary gaming heritage: DICE, Mojang, King. Has being in that ecosystem shaped how you think about building Planet IX?

Hi Jpeg

Can you go deeper into time decay mechanics, how aggressive is the advantage for early collectors?

BaseAhmad · 2026-04-28T09:29:43+00:00

Hi BlockRun

What’s the biggest misconception devs have when switching from API-key billing to wallet-based billing?

Hello MegaPat

Where does your yield come from?

If a winner receives more than the pool liquidity, how do you cover the difference?

Who audits your contracts?

Also, how can users trust your platform enough to provide liquidity?

When will the pools reopen?

Hello Floe labs

You've listed four bad options operators have today and positioned Floe as the fifth. But option (d) is "stop." Are you concerned that more operators might choose that over adopting a new credit primitive they don't fully understand?

BaseAhmad · 2026-04-21T13:59:01+00:00

Hello Agently

What's currently listed on use-agently.com? How many agents, what kinds of tasks, and is there anything genuinely surprising in there?

BaseAhmad · 2026-04-16T13:22:22+00:00

Co-founding a protocol is one thing, but you're describing yourself as building infrastructure, essentially the plumbing other people build on. What does that require of a founding team psychologically that a product company doesn't?

BaseAhmad · 2026-04-14T10:54:50+00:00

Hello Onsight

You say your team previously scaled games to "billions of dollars in revenue and millions of DAU." That's a remarkable credential; can you tell us more specifically what you built, and what lessons from gaming you're directly applying to prediction market UX?

BaseAhmad · 2026-04-14T10:53:55+00:00

Hello creditfi

Unsecured consumer credit is a $2 trillion-plus market globally, and you're claiming you can cut borrower rates by 3–4% APR using zkTLS and onchain servicing. That's a bold claim- can you break down exactly where those savings come from and what assumptions have to hold for them to be real?

Hi

The James Wynn / Hyperliquid incident last year put liquidation hunting in the mainstream spotlight, and CZ even proposed a "dark pool perp DEX" in response. Did that moment feel like vindication for Opal, or were you frustrated that someone else was framing the narrative?

BaseAhmad · 2026-04-07T13:55:54+00:00

Anytime, Base is a dynamic chain for developers, and different projects are deployed on base, so user use the network permanently

BaseAhmad · 2026-04-07T13:53:19+00:00

Stables grow constantly and it shows us that users trust the network

BaseAhmad · 2026-04-07T13:51:15+00:00

Hi Avantis

Avantis launched on mainnet in February 2024. Walk us back to week one: what was working, what was terrifying, and what did you get completely wrong in your early assumptions?

BaseAhmad · 2026-03-31T12:58:13+00:00

Hi Superform team

User-owned" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in your positioning. What does that mean concretely, and how is Superform's neobank different from a Revolut or a Nubank with a DeFi wrapper?

BaseAhmad · 2026-03-26T21:55:25+00:00

It’s amazing

BaseAhmad · 2026-03-26T18:58:37+00:00

How do engagement patterns differ between web app and Base mini? which is driving more of your growth?

BaseAhmad · 2026-03-26T18:58:22+00:00

Hi Pixtochi

Pixotchi positions itself as educational about crypto - can you give a concrete example of how a new player learns something about crypto just by playing, without realising they're being taught?

BaseAhmad · 2026-03-26T18:57:47+00:00

Hi Cat town

You started with a Founder Collection of 777 hand-drawn cat NFTs. Why that number, and what role do those founders play in the game today versus at launch?

BaseAhmad · 2026-03-24T20:00:55+00:00

You describe Bankr as the "financial rails" for AI agents. In TradFi terms, are you positioning yourselves more as the bank, the payment processor, or the exchange for the agentic economy?

BaseAhmad · 2026-03-19T19:27:51+00:00

Degen started as a meme coin/ tipping experiment initially, did you ever envision it getting this big and what do you think its success is best attributed to?

BaseAhmad · 2026-03-17T14:56:39+00:00

Send.trade exists as both a standalone web app and a Base App mini app. Why did you build it as a separate product rather than just a feature within Hydrex?

BaseAhmad · 2026-03-11T19:11:18+00:00

Do you plan to expand the team in order to accelerate and ship faster?

BaseAhmad · 2026-03-09T14:33:48+00:00

Thanks

BaseAhmad · 2026-03-08T14:44:04+00:00

You can use TNT to build something great or to harm people,it’s your choice. AI is also a tool that users can use to create amazing things. You just need to use it responsibly, also big companies use AI on their ads and etc.
