Late Night On Base

In this special episode, I sit down with Tom Vieira, Head of Product at Base, the L2 chain that’s becoming a cornerstone of the onchain future.

We talk about Base’s Stage 1 decentralization, what that milestone means, and how Tom and his team are laser-focused on their North Star: sub-second, sub-cent transactions for global onchain activity.

Tom also gives builders some real insights into the tools and products Base is developing to empower developers, making it easier than ever to build onchain apps and experiences.

Then we go deep on Tom’s personal journey—from being a musician with a vision for fairer ownership to becoming a leader at one of the most important infrastructure teams in crypto. His perspective on how smart contracts can revolutionize music, art, and creator economies is must-hear alpha for Web3 artists and builders.
