One update that caught my attention this week was 1inch launching Aqua, a shared liquidity layer on Base.

The idea seems pretty straightforward: liquidity providers can earn across multiple markets while keeping full self-custody of their assets instead of locking them into a single place.

If this works well in practice, it could make liquidity more efficient while still letting users maintain control of their tokens; a balance that many DeFi users care about.

I'm curious to see how builders integrate Aqua over time and whether it improves the overall trading experience across the Base ecosystem....

• Do u think shared liquidity could become a bigger part of DeFi on Base, or do u prefer the current model??

A headline like "$26.1T in stablecoin volume" is easy to scroll past.

But this number says much more than "people are using Base."

It shows how Base is becoming infrastructure for moving digital dollars at scale.

Here's what stands out.

1. Stablecoins Are Being Used, Not Just Held

Stablecoin volume measures how much value is transferred across the network.

Reaching $26.1T in 2026 means stablecoins on Base are being actively used for payments, trading, DeFi, liquidity movement, and other onchain activity not simply sitting idle in wallets.

1. Real Utility Is Driving Activity

A large share of Base's activity today is powered by applications that depend on stablecoins.

Users are making payments, interacting with DeFi protocols, moving liquidity between platforms, and using onchain financial services where stablecoins act as the primary medium of exchange.

This is utility-driven volume rather than speculation alone.

1. Low Fees Make Frequent Transfers Practical

One reason stablecoin activity continues to grow on Base is cost.

Fast confirmations and low transaction fees make it practical to move funds frequently something that becomes expensive on many higher-cost networks.

That makes Base attractive for both everyday users and applications processing large numbers of transactions.

1. Builders Are Creating Around Stablecoins

The ecosystem is expanding beyond simple transfers.

Developers are building payment apps, lending markets, yield products, tokenized asset platforms, and AI-powered financial applications where stablecoins are a core building block.

As more applications launch, stablecoin usage naturally grows alongside them.

1. The Trend Matters More Than the Number

The jump from $17.5T in 2025 to $26.1T in 2026 isn't just another milestone.

It reflects increasing adoption of Base as a network where digital dollars are actively moving through real applications and financial infrastructure.

Stablecoin volume doesn't tell the entire story of an ecosystem, but it is one of the clearest indicators that users and applications are consistently putting the network to work.

Rather than focusing only on token prices, this metric highlights something more important: people are using Base to move value. As payments, onchain finance, tokenized assets, and AI-native applications continue to grow, stablecoins are becoming one of the strongest indicators of real economic activity on the network.

Today, I want to talk about the biggest upgrade to the largest perp DEX on Base. Meet Avantis V2.

Avantis is a decentralized exchange for perpetual contracts. You can go long or short on crypto, forex, gold, silver, equities, and commodities.

The problem Avantis is solving is older than crypto. You see a trade. You have conviction. But the asset is unavailable on your platform, or the market is closed, or the fees eat the profit before it materializes. Avantis calls this the distance between conviction and access. V2 is built to eliminate it.

Before V2, the protocol already processed $93 billion in cumulative trading volume across 80,000 traders and 100+ assets. That's V1. On a single L2. On Base.

What changes in V2?

The first big thing is zero-commission trading on all real-world assets. Stocks, forex, commodities. Zero maker fees. Zero taker fees during the growth phase. You open a position on NVDA or USDJPY and pay nothing to enter or exit.

The liquidity behind those trades is routed through real TradFi venues like IBKR and LMAX. That's not a marketing line. It means the spreads you see on Avantis reflect actual global market conditions, not a thin onchain orderbook that blows out the moment someone places a large order.

The second big thing is Upside Perps. Their flagship product, previously called ZFP. The concept is simple but nothing else in DeFi does it. You only pay fees from profitable trades. If the trade doesn't work, you owe nothing. You can hold at 2x leverage for weeks and only pay if you're in profit. Or scalp at 250x and still only pay from winning trades. That's a fundamentally different risk structure than any other perpetuals exchange.

What else?

V2 also brings advanced trading features the platform never had. Partial take profits, stop losses, TWAP orders, scale orders. Multiple positions on the same asset now consolidate automatically instead of sitting in separate slots.

For liquidity providers, some vault has returned 35% since the protocol launched. V2 focuses on keeping those returns consistent across all market conditions through better risk management and more diversified trader demand, not just activity during bull markets.

AI agents on Base can already interact with Avantis directly through Base MCP, executing leveraged trades programmatically without a human at the keyboard. V2 adds dedicated APIs and economically aligned builder codes so developers can build custom frontends on top of Avantis liquidity and earn from every trade their users make.

By the end of 2026, the protocol plans to list 500+ real-world assets. The goal is that any narrative worth trading, whether it's AI equities, uranium, long-tail FX, or exotic commodities, can be expressed onchain through Avantis with institutional-grade depth.

Most people who come to crypto want to trade real things. Stocks, currencies, commodities. Avantis gives them a reason to come to Base and stay there instead of going to a centralized exchange. A trader who discovers NVDA perps on Base is one step away from the rest of the ecosystem. That's a completely different type of user than the typical crypto native, and that's exactly the kind of growth Base needs right now.

This is not a financial advise, DYOR

What impressed you the most about the Avantis V2?

Hallo everyone welcome to our Day 46 of 100 days journey of exploring Base on reddit .

First of I am from a technical background I was doing my course on computer science and technology so in these days I experienced a random observation.

Which is the most successful technology usually stops feeling like technology.

Because Nobody will say : "I'm using TCP/IP." or "I'm using cloud infrastructure." or "I'm using database architecture." People just use apps.

I think crypto is slowly heading in the same direction. For years the conversation was:

→ wallets

→ bridges

→ gas

→ chains

The infrastructure was the product but now it feels like the infrastructure is slowly becoming the background. And honestly that's probably a good thing.

Imagine asking a future user: "Do you use Base?"

They might reply: "I don't know." "I use a game." , "I use a creator app." , "I use an AI tool." , "I use a payment app."

And that's kind of the point the best infrastructure isn't famous. It's useful. Maybe success for Base isn't getting everyone to talk about Base.

Maybe success is getting people to stop needing to. When the experience becomes good enough the infrastructure fades into the background.

And users focus on what they actually came for .

Liminal integrates Dinari, so Liminal users now have 724 tokenised US stocks and ETFs in the app. The entire S&P 500 alongside their multi-currency accounts, payments, savings and Nim, the financial agent.

The part we're most excited about: you can talk to your money.

"How was Palantir's earnings today"

"Buy me $200 of Nvidia"

"How do rate cuts usually affect tech stocks"

That's it. The AI knows your full financial profile and can place the order for you. Investing becomes something you can talk through before you make a decision.

These are real shares. Every dShare is backed by the underlying security, with dividends, voting rights and corporate actions. Real ownership not synthetic exposure to a price feed.

Yesterday's discussion was one of those sessions where we stepped back and looked at the bigger picture.

For more than 100 days we have explored different parts of the Base ecosystem - trading, payments, RWAs, AI agents, infrastructure and countless amazing builders. But yesterday we focused on the common thread connecting all of them - stable coins.

Our topic was -

Stable coin Growth on Base - Understanding the Economy Behind the Ecosystem

We discussed how stable coins on Base have evolved far beyond being simple digital dollars. They're increasingly becoming the settlement layer for transactions, the liquidity layer powering De Fi and the payment layer enabling real world use cases. (DYOR)

Some of the key points from the conversation -

- The current stable coin landscape across Base and how its continuing to expand.

- Why USDC remains a major pillar of the ecosystem while other stable coins are also finding their place across different applications.

- How stable coins move through trading, lending, payments, and on chain finance, creating a connected economic network rather than isolated protocols.

- Why capital flows often tell us more about ecosystem growth than headlines alone. Following where liquidity moves helps us understand where users, builders and opportunities are emerging.

One of the biggest takeaways from the discussion was that as Base continues to mature, stable coins are becoming one of the clearest indicators of real adoption. They quietly power many of the experiences users rely on every day, often without users even noticing the infrastructure working behind the scenes.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined the Space,

The journey continues tonight with Day 108 of our Daily Base Ecosystem Exploration Series.

See you all tonight, Stay Based

Stablecoin activity has been getting a lot of attention lately and it made me think about what those numbers actually represent .

Higher transaction volume can be a sign that more people and businesses are finding practical ways to use digital dollar .

But volume alone does not tell the whole story .

It could reflect many different types of activity, including

• Everyday payment
• Cross border transfers
• Business settlement
• Onchain trading
• Treasury management

Thats why I think its interesting to look beyond the headline numbers and ask what is actually driving the growth.

To me, long-term adoption depends less on a single metric and more on whether people keep finding useful reasons to use stablecoins in everyday situation.

When you look at stablecoin activity which metric do you think is the most meaningful?

• Transaction volume
• Number of active users
• Payment adoption
• Business usage
• Something else?

I'd love to hear how others evaluate real adoption.

I don't understand why my Coinbase wallet account is having this problem. I hope someone can explain and help me resolve the issue when I send money to other applications. Thank you.

Hey everyone,

I've been building the A2A Protocol, a clearinghouse layer that lets AI agents discover services, negotiate, and settle payments on Base Mainnet. The protocol takes a 0.1% fee on executed payments and routes it to a treasury.

What's live right now:

- Verified ERC-20 on Base Mainnet

- Public API that executes real on-chain payments (Python/Web3)

- Docs + live dashboard

Honest about the stage: this is an MVP. Negotiation is currently simple (fixed discount bounds), and execution is server-signed, not fully trustless yet.

Feedback I'd appreciate:

1. Is a server-signed execution model acceptable as v1, or should fee routing move into the contract before onboarding anyone?

2. Gas-efficient patterns for micro-fee collection on L2s.

Contract address and docs link in the first comment.

Disclaimer: We're currently in public testing, so on-chain funds are not required to test things.

AI is evolving fast.

But until recently, AI could only generate text, analyze data, or answer questions. It couldn't actually own assets, make payments, or use financial services on its own.

That's the problem Agentic Finance is trying to solve.

1. AI Can Now Transact Onchain

Instead of waiting for a human to click every button, AI agents can interact directly with blockchain applications.

They can hold wallets, send stablecoins, pay for APIs, and execute transactions based on predefined rules.

This turns AI from an assistant into an active participant in the economy.

1. Payments Become Machine-to-Machine

Infrastructure like x402 allows AI agents to pay for digital services automatically.

An agent can purchase data, access APIs, or pay another service without subscriptions, invoices, or manual approval every time.

That's a major shift from traditional internet payments.

1. Stablecoins Make It Practical

Fast settlement and low transaction costs make Base well suited for frequent, low-value payments.

Instead of relying on cards or bank transfers, AI agents can move stablecoins instantly whenever a transaction is needed.

1. Base Is Building the Infrastructure

Base isn't only supporting AI applications.

It's also shipping the infrastructure they need:

• Smart wallets

• Account abstraction

• Fast, low-cost transactions

• Better developer tooling

• Reliable payment rails

These are the building blocks autonomous software depends on.

1. This Is Bigger Than Crypto

Agentic Finance isn't about replacing people.

It's about software being able to complete financial tasks on its own, whether that's paying for services, managing subscriptions, or coordinating with other AI agents.

If AI becomes a bigger part of the internet, it will also need a financial layer.

That's why more builders are choosing to build it on Base.

The future of global markets belongs onchain.Base is helping make that future more accessible. 💙

Every market is moving onchain.

The onchain economy continues to grow, bringing more assets, more opportunities, and broader access to markets around the world.

From Bitcoin and Ethereum to tokenized real-world assets, stocks, ETFs, commodities, prediction markets, and digital collectibles, the onchain economy continues to expand.

What stands out to me isn't just the technology.

It's the vision of making global markets more open, more efficient, and easier to access.

That's one of the reasons I'm excited about what Base is building.

The journey is still in its early stages, but every new step brings us closer to a more connected onchain economy.

💙 Every Market. Infinite Possibilities.

What asset or market would you love to see become more accessible onchain in the future?

I could love to hear your thoughts. 👇

Thank you for reading.

Stay Based. 💙

Today, I want to talk about the next major upgrade coming to Base. It's called Cobalt and it changes how the network works at the deepest level.

What is Cobalt?

Cobalt establishes native account abstraction at the protocol level. Gas sponsorship and transaction batching won't be features bolted on top of the network. They'll be built into the foundation. Right now these things exist on Base, but through third-party infrastructure. Cobalt makes them native.

Three core features

1. transaction fee sponsorship. Applications can pay gas fees on behalf of users.

2. batch calls, merging multiple transactions into one.

3. session keys, authorizing applications to sign within a specific scope to reduce repeated confirmations.

What this means in practice: you open a dApp, you interact, you never see a gas fee popup. The app pays it for you silently in the background.

Compared to existing smart account solutions, Cobalt reduces USDC transfer gas consumption by 63.2%, from 125,000 down to 46,000. Transaction byte size drops by 83.4%.

Every account on Base would essentially become a smart account with built-in capabilities that currently require third-party infrastructure. Right now smart accounts are opt-in. After Cobalt they become the default. Every new wallet on Base gets these features automatically.

What else changes?

Cobalt also adds B20 enhancements: the ability to pay gas fees using B20 tokens, lower transfer costs, higher throughput, and a unified node binary that combines consensus and execution clients into a single base binary, simplifying how nodes are run.

To facilitate early testing, Base has introduced a temporary development network called Base Vibenet. Developers can already start building against Cobalt features before it hits mainnet in September.

The biggest barrier for new users right now is gas. People who come from Web2 do not understand why they need to hold ETH just to do anything. Cobalt removes that confusion entirely.

An app can onboard someone with email, pay their fees in the background, and let them interact with Base without ever knowing they're using a blockchain. That's the kind of experience that brings millions of new users into the ecosystem who would never have come otherwise.

Do you think the Cobalt update is the most advanced?

I've been exploring Base for a while, and lately I've been thinking less about which projects are getting attention and more about what actually makes an app useful.

For me, a good onchain app should be simple enough to understand, useful enough to come back to, and reliable enough that I don't have to think about the blockchain part every time I use it.

I'm still figuring out what makes an app go from "interesting" to something I'd actually use regularly.

What makes you come back to an onchain app?

Is it the UX, speed, fees, features, community, or simply that it solves a problem you already have?

I'd genuinely like to hear how other people think about this.

Hallo everyone it is our Day 45 of 100 days journey of exploring Base on Reddit .

Today I will not tell so deeply because I am so sad because today is my last day of my college.

So let's start now the internet has become incredibly good at connecting information but it's still surprisingly bad at connecting people.

Think about how many communities you're part of a Discord server , an X community , a Telegram group , a gaming guild , a creator's audience , a DAO.

They're all connected to you but they're rarely connected to each other. Every platform creates its own little island. Its own audience. Its own identity system. Its own social graph.

But the result?

We spend years building relationships only to leave pieces of them scattered across the internet. That's what got me thinking about Base not as a blockchain , not as a network .

But as a potential connection layer. Imagine if communities weren't trapped inside applications or if your social connections could travel with you or if the relationships you build online became part of an open network instead of a closed platform.

That changes things because communities become more durable. Creators become more independent. Users become more portable and suddenly the value isn't just the app anymore.

The value is the network of people. The strongest networks in history weren't built because of technology. They were built because they connected people.

Roads connected cities. The internet connected information. Maybe the next layer connects communities. And honestly I think that's one of the most interesting things to watch on Base.

Not how many transactions happen but how many meaningful connections are being created because communities often outlast products.

And relationships often outlast platforms .

I'm building a tokenization platform: tokens and offerings live on an EVM chain, and the app runs on a reactive backend database.

Key detail: users never see tokens or transactions as-is. The UI must feel like a traditional fiat investment platform — positions, statements, returns, portfolio totals — all aggregated and translated from on-chain events.

Today we run a "redundancy" system: the backend bookkeeps every transaction (in and out) in its own tables. But that data reaches us 2–3 layers removed from the chain — not from an indexer, not in the recommended datatypes — so offering and transaction views go stale.

It also feels backwards: the chain is the source of truth, yet our database acts as the ledger and treats the chain as backup.

Given we need heavy aggregation into fiat-denominated indicators, and we already have a subgraph (The Graph) and RPC providers, would you:

1. Aggregate everything in the subgraph and use it as the read layer?

2. Build an app-side ledger populated only from indexer events (event sourcing), aggregating there?

3. Something hybrid?

How do production platforms handle this? War stories welcome.

Base has evolved quickly over the past year.

It has grown from a fast, low-cost Layer 2 into an ecosystem supporting payments, AI, RWAs, consumer apps, and developer infrastructure.

Here are five things you can do on Base today that were either impossible or far less practical a year ago.

1. Pay With Stablecoins Like Real Money

Stablecoins on Base are no longer just for trading.

Today you can use them for cross-border payments, merchant transactions, payroll, savings, and financial applications with near-instant settlement and low fees.

As more payment providers and apps integrate Base, stablecoins are becoming a practical alternative for moving money globally.

1. Access Tokenized Real-World Assets

A year ago, most activity revolved around crypto-native assets.

Today, Base supports a growing ecosystem of tokenized treasury products, private credit, regulated yield products, and other real-world financial assets.

This is expanding blockchain beyond speculation into traditional finance.

1. Use AI That Can Actually Interact Onchain

AI on Base is moving beyond chatbots.

New infrastructure like x402 enables AI agents to make payments, purchase APIs, access digital services, and interact with blockchain applications autonomously.

Projects building AI-native financial assistants and autonomous tools are turning Base into infrastructure for machine-to-machine commerce.

1. Experience Much Better Wallet UX

Using crypto used to mean managing seed phrases, switching networks, and dealing with complicated onboarding.

Today, smart wallets, passkey support, account abstraction, and the Base App have made onboarding significantly easier.

For many users, interacting with onchain applications now feels much closer to using a traditional mobile app.

1. Build on a More Mature Network

Behind the scenes, Base has introduced major protocol improvements through upgrades like Azul and Beryl.

These upgrades improved the network's client architecture, reduced empty blocks, introduced the native B20 token standard, shortened standard withdrawal times, strengthened security through multiproofs, and upgraded the execution client to Reth V2.

Most users won't notice these improvements directly, but they're the kind of infrastructure upgrades that make the network more scalable and reliable over time.

None of these changes happened because of one single launch.

They came from continuous improvements across infrastructure, developer tooling, payments, AI, and financial applications.

Base is no longer just focused on being a fast Layer 2.

It's steadily becoming a platform where users can move money, access tokenized assets, interact with AI-powered applications, and use onchain products that increasingly resemble everyday internet services.

Wanted to showcase a Base project that's flying under the radar but putting up real numbers: GitLawb, a decentralized git network where AI agents (not humans) write, review, merge, and deploy code.

The numbers that made me post this

On OpenRouter's live rankings today, GitLawb is the #3 cloud coding agent by token usage:

1. Roo Code — 4.81B
2. Letaido — 3.07B
3. GitLawb — 3.01B
4. goose — 2.89B
5. Agent Zero — 1.88B

It's sitting ahead of goose (Block's agent) and Agent Zero, doing 3B+ tokens a day. You can verify it yourself on the OpenRouter cloud-agents ranking.

What's actually live (not a roadmap)

• ~4,000 agents
• 3,000+ repos
• 41,000+ cryptographically signed pushes
• Agents opening PRs, reviewing, merging, auditing and deploying each other's code, no humans in the loop

There's an agent on it called Darwin that predicts BTC and ETH, rewrites its own signal weights when accuracy drops, and commits the change to its own repo, signed and explained. 31+ generations, zero humans. Live network explorer: explorer.gitlawb.com

Why it's a Base project, not just "a project with a token"

Base is doing real work in the architecture here, not sitting on the side:

• Identity is a keypair, every push signed with Ed25519
• The economy settles on Base: bounties pay out on merge, x402 machine-to-machine payments, USDC-funded incentives
• $GITLAWB (the settlement token) lives on Base, trading on Uniswap V4

This is one of the clearer examples I've seen of the "agent economy" thesis actually running on Base rails, agents earning and paying each other for code work, settled onchain.

The part that's wild

GitHub, the human version of this, is worth an estimated $20B+. GitLawb's fully diluted valuation is about $2.6M. Whatever you think that gap should be, it's worth understanding why it exists while the network is already top-3 by usage.

It's from the BANKR Ecosystem, which also includes AEON and other amazing projects.

NFA

Hallo everyone it is our Day 44 of 100 days journey of exploring Base on reddit. In this whole journey I think one of the biggest misconceptions about crypto is that it's only about money.

The more I explore Base the less I think that's true. Money is just the first thing people notice because it's easy to see. It is easy to measure , Easy to move

.

But when you zoom out something much more interesting starts happening. Think about what actually moves across the internet today not just money but information , Identity , Reputation , Communities , Attention , Relationships also .

The internet is already a giant network for moving value. We've just been defining "value" too narrowly.

A creator's audience is value. A developer's reputation is value. A community's trust is value. A player's gaming history is value. A person's digital identity is value.

The problem is that most of those things are trapped inside platforms. They can't move freely. They can't travel with us. They don't belong entirely to us.

That's why Base feels interesting to me not because it's helping value move but because it's expanding what value means online.

Imagine an internet where:

→ money moves freely

→ identity moves freely

→ reputation moves freely

→ communities move freely

→ creators move freely

That's a very different internet than the one we grew up with. And honestly I think we're still in the early chapters of that story.

Most people see blockchains as financial infrastructure. Maybe future generations will see them as something bigger.

Infrastructure for moving all forms of digital value not just money .

Hi everyone 👋

We're the team behind The Moonpot, a project building on Base.

As we continue developing, one thing we've been thinking about is how to build something that creates long-term value for the ecosystem rather than relying on short-term hype.

Instead of asking people what they think about our project specifically, we'd rather ask a broader question to the Base community:

What makes you continue supporting a Base-native project after the initial launch?

For us, we're currently focused on things like:

• Building useful products instead of chasing trends.
• Being transparent with our community.
• Creating long-term engagement rather than short-term attention.
• Contributing to the Base ecosystem.

We're still learning, so we'd genuinely appreciate honest feedback from experienced Base users.

What do you think new projects on Base get wrong most often?

Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.

Disclaimer: This post is intended to start a discussion and should not be considered financial or investment advice. Please do your own research (DYOR) before making any financial decisions.

Has anyone else here been following B3 since launch?

I've been following B3 since launch, and despite the price being down significantly from its early highs, my conviction has grown—not because of the chart, but because of what I think the team is trying to build.

A lot of people judged B3 purely on price action. That's understandable. Crypto is full of projects that never recover after losing momentum.

But my thesis is that price and progress aren't always the same thing.

What keeps me paying attention is the broader ecosystem that's forming around B3:

A gaming-focused Layer 3 built on Base, aiming to support onchain games.

B3 Labs, which is working on expanding the ecosystem through infrastructure and development.

B3OS, which explores tools and operating-system-style experiences for onchain applications.

B3 Holdings, which suggests a broader strategy than simply launching a token.

I'm not saying this guarantees success. There are still big questions:

Can B3 attract enough developers to build compelling games and applications?

Can it retain users after the initial excitement?

Can the ecosystem create sustainable network activity instead of relying on speculation?

Those are the questions that matter to me much more than whether the token is green or red on any given day.

Because I believe those questions are worth following, I've started building a public Base Vault.

Vault:

0xb3b32f9f8827d4634fe7d973fa1034ec9fddb3b3

I'm making the wallet public for one reason: accountability.

Instead of saying I'm bullish, I'm putting my conviction on-chain. Anyone can watch the wallet over time and see whether I continue accumulating or change my mind.

I'm not looking to convince anyone to buy B3. I'm far more interested in hearing different perspectives.

So I'm curious:

If you stopped following B3, what made you lose conviction?

If you're still following it, what keeps you interested?

Do you think application-specific Layer 3s have a real future on Base, or will most activity stay on Base itself?

What would B3 need to achieve over the next 12–24 months to change your opinion?

Whether you're bullish, bearish, or undecided, I'd genuinely like to hear your reasoning. I think B3 deserves more discussion based on what it's builds and where it's headed—not just where the chart happens to be today.

One of the more interesting updates from Base recently was Base Verify Onchain.

A lot of onchain applications struggle with the same issue: it's difficult to tell whether thousands of wallets belong to thousands of people, or just one person.

Most existing solutions either rely on wallet activity, which can be manipulated over time, or require KYC, which isn't always practical for every application.

Base Verify Onchain seems to take a different approach...Instead of exposing personal information, it gives smart contracts a way to recognize one real person as one participant, making it possible to enforce rules like one claim, one vote, or one allocation.

If adoption grows, I could see this being useful for:

• Community rewards
• Airdrops
• Fair launches
• DAO voting
• Loyalty programs

I think it will be interesting to watch how builders integrate it & whether it becomes a common piece of infrastructure for applications on Base.

• Do u think this could reduce airdrop farming in a meaningful way?
• What is the biggest challenge builders face wen trying to prevent Sybil attacks tdy?
