During this time, Base has indeed had a lot of new developments, among which the @b3dotfun wave of updates is the one I pay more attention to. B3 originally started around blockchain games, and has released many products in the past year, but most of them were still developing tools, SDKs, game ecological components, etc., and the rhythm belonged to "making a foundation first". Recently, this new move feels like it has begun to shift its focus to be more end-user-oriented, especially the implementation of consumer-grade scenarios. They have a new portfolio that I think is worth paying attention to, especially Anyspend and B3 Explorer, and I personally am more optimistic about the current path in these two directions. Let's talk about Anyspend first Simply understood, it is an "on-chain payment tool", but they have made many designs that lower the threshold, such as supporting Apple Pay, credit cards, and ACH deposits - that is, users can buy coins like buying clothes, without KYC, and without understanding the concepts of wallet mnemonic phrases, chain names, and cross-bridges. On the other hand, it is also compatible with any currency payment on the chain, which means you don't need to exchange tokens on the B3 chain, as long as you have money in your wallet, you can basically use it directly. Many Web3 native users may be used to tossing, but for Web2 users, this "direct payment" experience can indeed lower a lot of psychological barriers. I guess they plan to use Anyspend as a universal payment interface for all ecosystem products, as this feature has already begun to be embedded in other products. The underlying of all these payment actions calls $B 3, so it actually establishes a clear value loop at the token level. The other is the B3 Explorer I initially thought it was a block explorer, but after using it, I realized that it was more of an integration portal - similar to the App Store, but customized for the on-chain experience. Inside, you can see various games, tools, NFT projects, and directly enter the experience or interaction. For users, the significance of this kind of entry-type thing is that they don't need to chase various project clues from Twitter, just click in and try it. For developers, they provide a lot of open-source components (such as game frameworks, NFT generation modules) that can be quickly remixed and release their own versions, saving a lot of development/cold start costs. Explorer has two functional products embedded in the direction that I think are relatively new: One is Bond Launchpad, which is a one-click coin issuance tool, and I have seen similar directions in other projects before, but the special feature here is that the issued tokens can be directly turned into part of the game. Behind this is their own BondKit toolchain, which is a bit like connecting the three things of issuing coins, building gameplay, and distributing assets. The current meme market actually has a lot of demand, and I will continue to pay attention to whether this gameplay can run through a positive cycle. The other is Spawn, which focuses on AI-powered NFT creation experiences. Images can be generated through natural language and directly minted into NFTs, suitable for creators or ordinary users with image expression needs. This direction is interesting, especially when combined with the logic of AppChain and game assets, it may lead to new creative paths. Overall, my current judgment on B3 is that they are slowly transitioning from an "open blockchain game tool platform" to a "consumer-grade application infrastructure". The product leans from the developer toolkit to the terminal entrance, payment channel, and authoring tools. This is actually more consistent with the direction of Base's current mainstreaming. They have also recently revealed some Web2 cooperation promotions, such as connecting with brands, governments, entertainment companies and other institutions, with the goal of bringing real consumption scenarios to the chain. I think the direction is fine, but the implementation and implementation, user education, and incentive design still need to be observed. As for $B 3 itself, it seems that all products are currently built around it, including payments, traffic distribution, coin issuance incentives, etc. I don't think a token is stable just because it has many uses, but at least in this logic, it is used. Personally, I think the token structure is clearer than "send a token for staking" without actual use cases. From the perspective of ecological position, Base's TVL has reached 4.3 billion, and traffic is continuing to come in. If B3 can play the role of traffic entrance + distributor, it does have a chance to catch the dividends of this cycle. I will continue to see their product updates and synergies with other middle-tier projects in the Base ecosystem. If you've been researching Base's projects lately, or are interested in how Web2 can lower the barrier to entry into Web3, B3's new products in this round should be worth taking some time to learn about.
