GM Based fam, welcome to the 7th issue of "Based Weekly"! This week, the on-chain wave keeps surging: from Manifold empowering Bankr to bring NFT airdrops and DeFi magic, to Fluidkey focusing on privacy-preserving scoring mechanisms, and Veil unveiling secret upgrades. Additionally, Coinbase launched new wrapped assets, our old friend Flappy Bird made its way into Web3, and Virtuals Protocol continues to dominate the cutting-edge AI agent track with projects like $QUACK. Now, let's dive into everything being built and thriving in the Base ecosystem!

The Deployer Is Cooking... The Bankr Upgrade Feast Continues

Bankr makes creating and collecting NFTs as simple as posting a tweet. Creators just need to tag @bankrbot in their posts to share the link to their Manifold edition, while collectors can reply with commands like "Mint me 1" to instantly mint the NFT into their Bankr wallet, or specify a custom address for minting to enjoy maximum operational flexibility. Backed by the powerful Manifold platform, this feature streamlines the entire creation-to-collection process, making NFT minting easy for artists and enthusiasts alike.

The Coinbase Developer Platform also announced a partnership on June 6, 2025. This integration leverages Coinbase Onramp to enable seamless fiat-to-crypto conversions, allowing users to fund their wallets directly within the app via a single message. Whether you're buying, selling, swapping, or setting limit orders, Bankr turns complex transactions into simple text commands on X, effectively simplifying DeFi.

Additionally, Bankr now supports direct airdrops through social posts! This is an excellent way to drive engagement. So, how does it work?

Step 1: Create a post for people to reply to.

Step 2: Reference your original post and attach the airdrop details. For instance, Bankr recently rewarded the first 100 users who commented "ok bankr" on X with a $5 $BNKR airdrop, showcasing how easy it is to incentivize followers directly through their feed. This game-changing integration ties DeFi, NFTs, and community engagement closer together.

Last but not least, an entirely new socialfi model is under development, which will offer $BNKR rewards. The official announcement has teased a 450 million $BNKR airdrop, so be sure to stay tuned and engaged.

Fluidkey Score: Privacy-Protecting Rewards on Base

Fluidkey is taking on-chain privacy to the next level by announcing the launch of Fluidkey Score on June 3, 2025—a composable, privacy-protecting, and publicly accessible ERC-20 scoring protocol on the Base blockchain. This innovative score allows third parties to leverage user activity data without compromising privacy, unlocking exclusive in-app rewards and features. Since its inception, thousands of users have trusted Fluidkey, enabling over $100 million in on-chain transactions with enhanced privacy management. In return, the team has distributed scores to reward historical usage.

Your Fluidkey Score grows as your platform usage increases, with higher engagement yielding greater exclusive benefits. The score is designed as a non-transferable ERC-20 token, functioning similarly to an on-chain credit score, enabling users to anonymously prove their activity to third parties. Fluidkey is working hard to establish itself as the go-to financial home for advanced cryptocurrency users, with plans to introduce additional features in the coming months. Visit app.fluidkey.com to claim your score and learn more. This marks a significant step toward a privacy-first on-chain economy.
