Odaily Planet Daily reports that the Base Ecosystem Fund released "Request for Builders: Funding the Future of Global Finance," announcing it will provide early-stage funding and ecosystem resources to startups dedicated to building next-generation global financial infrastructure. Its goal is to create secure and reliable global financial infrastructure, enabling the financial system to operate 24/7 and support large-scale transactions through deep liquidity. However, the value of infrastructure ultimately depends on its upper-layer applications; therefore, the fund seeks developers and entrepreneurs who can create real-world application scenarios. The Base Ecosystem Fund will focus on supporting Pre-Seed and Seed stage projects, providing capital investment and technical, ecosystem, and business support from the Base team. Key investment areas announced include: 1. Tokenization: Base is focusing on on-chaining Real-World Assets (RWAs), including income-generating assets, short-term working capital instruments, invoice financing, trade finance, revenue sharing financing, and long-term assets such as REITs, copyright revenue, and private credit funds. The fund aims to support teams with professional asset issuance and management capabilities. 2. Stablecoins and Emerging Market Finance: Base is optimistic about the application of stablecoins in cash-dominated markets, including connecting offline cash networks with stablecoin payment systems and promoting the development of local currency stablecoins to provide users with lower-cost payment, savings, and financial services. 3. On-Chain Credit and Lending: The fund focuses on unsecured consumer credit and multi-party credit systems, hoping to leverage zkTLS, smart contracts, and stablecoin infrastructure to establish new credit assessment and loan distribution models. 4. Prediction Markets: Base believes that conditional asset markets and vertical prediction markets still have significant potential, including areas such as politics, culture, insurance risk management, and clinical trials, aiming to improve the ability to discover future events through market mechanisms. 5. On-Chain Transformation of Traditional Finance: The fund focuses on institutional-grade financial infrastructure such as the foreign exchange market and on-chain bilateral protocols, hoping to restructure traditional financial markets using stablecoins, smart contracts, and on-chain settlement systems. 6. AI Agent Commercial Applications: Base states that with the rapid development of AI Agent infrastructure, the next stage will shift its focus from "building agents" to enabling agents to truly participate in consumer transactions, including smart shopping, automated checkout, reservation services, and commercial scenarios based on stablecoins and the x402 protocol. Furthermore, Base is also focusing on SKU tokenization, hoping to transform traditional Web2 product catalogs into on-chain composable assets, enabling AI Agents, wallets, and trading platforms to directly discover, trade, and purchase goods. The Base Ecosystem Fund states that the above directions represent current key areas of focus, but the most important signal still comes from entrepreneurs' own judgments about the future financial system. Teams that align with these directions or are exploring related fields are welcome to apply to join the Base ecosystem.
