Base’s attitude toward creator air drops has shifted from hints to explicit statements. Some guesses about Base creator air drops:
1/ Imitating the Monad model. The commonality is that it places extreme emphasis on anti-bot (anti-sybil) measures and real contributions.
Copying the “Monad Cards + the nomination” setup as-is is unrealistic, but the weight of the air drop will very likely tilt toward influential X KOLs in another form.
2/ Outsourcing to Kaito, as Kaito Katalyst’s flagship collaboration project.
Previously, Base and Kaito were tightly linked (Base App launched on Kaito’s mini-app; Base as one of Kaito Studio’s first partner launches, etc.). And Kaito has relatively seasoned experience with social media influence air drops (yap-to-earn). Plus, as a Coinbase-incubated project, Base has a high regulatory sensitivity. If something goes wrong, the cost is higher. Outsourcing to a more experienced team is less likely to cause issues; even if something does go wrong, it’s also easier to shift blame.
No matter which approach is used, X is definitely a social platform that can’t be bypassed when it comes to tightly binding Base creator air drops.
I don’t know whether it’s already too late to start posting about Base now, but I think doing this could yield a much higher probability of receiving an air drop than simply doing on-chain interactions right now.
