private perps going live on @base next week
Really happy with how the Anthropic launch went today.
Token price has settled within ~30% of the current secondary market valuation, which was the goal. It's a major stepping stone for our upcoming pre-IPO perps offering.
Now for the bigger announcement:
Next week we're launching production V1 live trading for our privacy perp DEX. Real funds, limited amounts, rolling out exclusively to current beta testers first. After a few weeks of live testing, we'll be submitting our codebase to @coinbase, who have offered to audit it for free.
Bear markets are for those who build 🫡

Had a great conversation with @brian_armstrong last week!
We'll share our full conversation, his thoughts about our privacy DEX and our pitch soon!
What it takes to make everything tradable
Brian spoke with the founders of @opal_dex during Base Batches about the complexities of making it possible

We're hosting a @sxsw event alongside our friends @HydrexFi next on march 17th at our office rooftop.
Swing by if you’re in town 🤠

Behind the scenes look at the $OPAL office.
I don’t like remote work - startups demand speed. Being in the same room with the team lets us build fast and make decisions in real time.
Sharing more BTS on how we’re building the future of perp trading soon.

700+ applied. Stoked to be amongst the 40 that were accepted for @base batches.
Signal detected: base batches 002
Type: projects update
@base batches demo day confirmed for @EFDevcon. 700+ teams applied, top 40 selected to pitch live with limited VC seats.
Base keeps building its incubator loop — startup and builder tracks forming the launchpad for the next wave of onchain apps.
winners can evolve into breakout apps. the last cohort was won by @noicedotso, which grew fast post-win.
$i - @indexy_xyz
a protocol for permissionless onchain indices. Anyone can create and track narrative baskets that reflect market momentum. next step: letting users invest directly into indexes built by others, turning curation into liquidity. trading volume becomes the flywheel: activity → fees → demand → value. v2 teased by @kaloh; early positioning and clear momentum.
$Emerge - @tryEmerge
a mini app letting users remix and create PFPs through ai-driven workflows. now shipping “tokenized workflows” on @dopplerprotocol, linking creative actions to onchain value. x-integration inbound; new creator loops forming between ai and farcaster. programmable content layer taking shape.
$den - @dendotshow
built by @being_wayne, incubated by @skycastletokens. a creator-owned streaming layer where fans share upside through channel tokens. pattern forming: patronage → participation → liquidity.
frames and clips spreading early; distribution rails setting in.
$den not launched yet.
$BETR - @betrmint
built by @toady_hawk. mint, spin, win & stake — an attention game that never stops moving. cross-collabs with other farcaster apps keep $BETR in constant flow. consistent shipping, live games, active pools: engagement loop tight and sticky.
$SKY - @skycastletokens
didn’t apply directly, but two of their incubated projects and two of their partners made the cut.
if even one wins (10% chance), sky captures major mindshare as the go-to hub for fresh builders on Base. acts as a meta-index of early builders — success compounds through the network.
@base batches keep sourcing the next generation of social and onchain primitives.
not all 40 participants are known, updates may follow as new data surfaces.
Action: follow base batches 002

I’m exited to share what I’m working on next. I joined as a co-founder and VP of Engineering of @opal_dex — a next-generation derivatives platform designed to bring fairness, privacy and on-chain transparency to perpetual futures trading.
What we’re building
• A house-blind, sealed-order architecture where no one (not bots, not the house, not your counterparty) sees your trade until settlement.
• Built on the Base Network, enabling fast, efficient, U.S. centric infrastructure.
• Opened our new office in Austin, Texas. Excited to build locally in one of the most vibrant tech hubs.
• We’re still in the building phase, with a public beta targeted for this quarter.
• America first: bring global perpetuals trading back into the hands of U.S.-based companies (rather than the Asia-dominated space)
If you’re interested in building or learning more about our product, roadmap, or token utility, I’d love to connect.
