Pixotchi is a very popular farming and resource management game in the Base ecosystem. On the latest Base leaderboard, Pixotchi ranked 19th among apps with the most transacting users in the Base app.

You can play Pixotchi directly in the Base app, as I did in the demo video, or access it through the browser version on any device.

In the video, I demonstrate how to start the game. First, I buy a small amount of $SEED (1 seed is worth less than $0.01). Then I select a plant, to buy. I minted a Rosa, which costs 40 $SEED, but you can select a cheaper plant for 10 $SEED, or you can buy a land. After minting a plant, I also opened my daily box in the Arcade section.

Each day, a portion of the $SEED trading fees is redistributed among plants. Points (PTS) define your share of the ETH rewards. Make sure to keep your plant alive, otherwise it will stop accumulating rewards. To claim collected ETH, you eventually need to burn your plant.

Have you tried Pixotchi yet? Did you manage to keep your plant alive, or did it wither? What’s your strategy? Are there any landowners here, or only simple plant growers?

Oku is a permissionless DeFi aggregator that allows you to trade across 14 S-tier decentralized exchanges and move tokens between Base and 30+ EVM chains via 14 S-tier bridges from a single interface, without fees. You can also place market and limit orders, and manage Uniswap v3, or Morpho liquidity positions. Oku makes transacting 1000+ tokens across EVM chains seamless and fast.

What also sets Oku apart from most decentralized exchanges is the on/off-ramp option directly to EU or US banks, supporting USD, EUR, MXN and GBP without additional fees.

Initially, Oku was funded by a grant from the Uniswap Foundation, to build a pro trading interface on top of Uniswap v3. You can use it to track tokens and liquidity pools across Uniswap v3, as well as positions opened by other users on Base and 26+ supported chains.

Oku also supports Base Smart Wallet. In the video, I traded ETH for USDC on Base, but you can select any chain or token. The whole setup with signature took less than 30 seconds, and the transaction was confirmed on Base almost instantly. Slippage was low, and fees were under a cent on the Base chain.

Have you tried Oku or any other aggregator, or do you still compare prices and fees across multiple exchanges manually? Do you use centralized exchanges for on/off-ramping, or have you tried non-custodial options like Oku?

Why can't open Base Discord on my computer?? All links leading to the Base Discord are inaccessible, I can't see any channels. Did Discord ban Base??

You can participate in Ethereum staking rewards without staking 32 ETH or running your own node, on Base. 

Here’s how:
rETH is a liquid token representing Rocket Pool’s staked ETH. You can stake as little as 0.01 ETH (~$23) on https://stake.rocketpool.net and bridge it to Base using the native bridge on Superbridge interface (as shown in the video). This route is more suitable for advanced users, instead of staking and bridging rETH from Ethereum chain, you can simply buy rETH on any major DEX available on Base. (rETH token contract: 0xB6fe221Fe9EeF5aBa221c348bA20A1Bf5e73624c).

How it works:
Rocket Pool is a decentralized Ethereum staking protocol that allows users to stake ETH and earn rewards without running their own validator node. Instead of the standard 32 ETH requirement, users can stake any amount (as low as ~0.01 ETH) and receive rETH, a liquid token representing their staked ETH and accumulated rewards.

For more advanced users, Rocket Pool also enables running a node with as little as 4 ETH instead of 32 ETH, with the remaining ETH provided by other users of the protocol. In simple terms, Rocket Pool connects users who want to run their own node with less than 32 ETH with users who want to earn Ethereum staking rewards without running a node.

Feel free to ask any questions you have about Rocket Pool. Have you ever used or considered liquid staking your ETH?
