Base Batches is launching a global program aimed at developers working on onchain applications. The initiative kicks off with six buildathons starting April 25, 2025. Teams that make it to the final stage can compete for a share of up to $1 million. Each buildathon will select ten finalists to pitch their projects on Demo Day, highlighting the program's focus on fostering innovation and collaboration in the blockchain space. In 2024, the mission shifts toward building a global onchain economy that emphasizes innovation and freedom. This vision underpins Base's efforts to create a new digital landscape. The recent introduction of Pessimism, an open-source monitoring system, aims to enhance security for the Base network and related ecosystems. This tool features three main components: ETL for data processing, a Risk Engine for real-time assessments, and an alerting system for risk management. The article also notes the establishment of the Base Ecosystem Fund, led by CB Ventures, to invest in promising onchain projects. The fund recently announced its first six investments after receiving over 800 applications, demonstrating strong interest in developing onchain solutions. Safety and security are emphasized as top priorities for the network's mainnet launch, which is in progress following a successful testnet phase.
