Yesterday: Q402 Escrow went live on Base. Today: what it actually looks like to use it. One install, sign in with Google, and your agent creates and locks the escrow. The funds sit on-chain. Seller delivers, you approve the payout. Nothing arrives, the timeout sends it back. The agent locks. You release. npx -y @quackai/q402-mcp
NEW: Hunter Biden posted on X that a "LAPTOP" project is coming on Sept. 9, appearing to confirm reports of a planned memecoin launch this week. The token will launch on the Coinbase-incubated Base blockchain with a supply of one billion, according to The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter. Founders, including Biden, will receive 30%, while another 20% will be distributed to people who lost money on $TRUMP and subscribers to selected mailing lists. Up to 30% of the supply will be burned if certain events occur, including a Democrat winning the 2028 presidential election, bitcoin reaching a new all-time high, or the token surpassing $TRUMP's fully diluted valuation. Otherwise, a proportionate amount will be donated to charity. The remaining 20% will reportedly be allocated to charity, liquidity purposes, including exchange partners and market makers, and the token's foundation. At least one, apparently unaffiliated LAPTOP memecoin already trades on Solana and surged following the report. It remains unclear how the project plans to distribute the Base-based tokens to eligible $TRUMP traders, given that $TRUMP is issued on Solana.

The Bright Side: Onchain Growth Price action often overshadows the progress we're making as an industry. When prices are suppressed, pessimism floods timelines and it feels like it's all over. That's a disservice to the teams still building. Growth should be celebrated, not just green candles. So we're launching The Bright Side: short pieces, charts, and quick commentary, all on the growth we're seeing in crypto. Bringing optimism and drawing attention to what moves us forward. This first issue covers onchain activity that's picked up over the summer. Overall activity is nowhere near past peaks, and yet certain ecosystems and protocols have found ways to thrive. Life in the Solana trenches @solana processed 1.32B transactions in the week of August 23, past the 800M peak of the 2024-2025 memecoin season. That’s roughly double its January base. A revival in memecoin trading on @Pumpfun drove most of it, with @fomo as the new entrant. @Pumpfun's weekly revenue has grown for six weeks straight, from $6M in the week of July 13 to $17.5M in the week of August 24, with daily active wallets hitting a high of 673k. @fomo, the hit social trading app peaked at 93K daily active users on Solana. Beyond transactions, revenue is picking up as well. Solana application had $143M in revenue in August, the most since January and 81% above the April low. Coinbase <> Base pipeline @base TVL crossed $5.5B on August 26, a high for the year and just under the $5.58B record set on October 7, 2025. $3.9B of that, or 70%, sits in @Morpho markets, and $3B of it is cbBTC deposited through @coinbase crypto-backed loan product built on Morpho. Because that collateral is bitcoin-denominated, holding $3B through a year in which BTC fell roughly 37% reflects the growth in the deposit base grew substantially in BTC terms. Uniswap's Robinhood Chain payoff Uniswap processed 39.9M swaps in the week of August 24, up 4.3x from an April low of 9.2M and 38% above the prior high of 28.9M a week earlier. The fee switch turns that activity into supply reduction. The protocol executed its largest dollar-value UNI burn on August 21, roughly 150,000 UNI worth about $590,000. Robinhood chain is the reason behind the surge. Over $30B in DEX volume has run through Uniswap on the chain since its July 1 launch, accounting for 91% of all DEX volume there. Robinhood Stock Tokens make up $1.3B while crypto-native tokens and memecoins make up the rest. Stable active address growth Monthly active stablecoin addresses reached 55.3M in July, up 25% year-on-year. USDT accounted for 69%, with USDC representing 27%. Although stablecoin supply has remained at ~$300B since the start of the year, address counts have continued to grow. The demand behind them is payments and dollar access, on top of being trading collateral. Retail-sized transfers hit a monthly record of 162M transactions in August, reflecting the rise in consumer adoption. And that’s a wrap for this issue. Prices will do what they do. Builders keep shipping, products that work keep compounding and the industry keeps growing. More charts and commentary to come.
Introducing cbZEC & cbHYPE on Base 🟦 Backed 1:1 by @Coinbase. Full support from day 1 on Banana Gun and Banana Pro 🍌
Robinhood Chain’s 24-Hour App Revenue Surpasses Ethereum and Hyperliquid L1, Nearly 6x Base’s According to DeFiLlama data, Robinhood Chain generated $2.66 million in app revenue over the past 24 hours, surpassing Hyperliquid L1’s $1.7 million and Ethereum’s $1.27 million, and nearly six times Base’s $438,436. GMGN, Pons, and Uniswap ranked among the top protocols by revenue, generating $1.11 million, $930,587, and $306,877, respectively, together accounting for approximately 88% of Robinhood Chain’s total app revenue.
After reposting Coinbase Business yesterday, I noticed that accounts across the Coinbase ecosystem have been posting relentlessly about AiFi and payments over the past few days. Meanwhile, Moonwell on Base was just exploited for nearly $9M. Put these developments together and the bigger picture becomes quite interesting: the largest crypto-native financial group is heading into a direct battle with Robinhood, a giant born from traditional finance. This is not just a competition between two companies. It is a battle between two fundamentally different financial primitives.
NEW: Moonwell is investigating an issue affecting the MAMO Core Market on Base after security firms reported an $8.7 million exploit. The attacker allegedly manipulated MAMO collateral pricing to borrow cbBTC, with Moonwell restricting new borrowing as a precaution.
Base Launches Coinbase Tokenized Stocks, Bringing Apple and NVIDIA Shares Onchain Base announced that Coinbase-issued tokenized stocks are now live on the Base network under the B20 standard.
