Social on Base After Rebrand: Why Games Hold Community

Social on Base after the rebrand lives inside focused apps such as games, clubs and creator spaces, not inside the big wallet. Coinbase turned the Base App back into a trading-first wallet, and that left community to apps built around one shared thing to do. A weekly game round gives players and creators a reason to show up together, which a general feed never did.

Where does social on Base after rebrand actually live?

Games, clubs and creator spaces now carry the community the big wallet stepped away from. The wallet itself went back to trading. FinanceFeeds reports that the app now centres on multichain trading, perps and tokenized stocks.

That is not bad news for community. It is a clearer map. The wallet holds your assets. The apps you choose hold your people. We covered what the trading side means for a player in tokenized stocks on Base.

Why did the Base App social feed fall short?

The short version: a feed gave people a place to scroll, not a reason to stay. The Block reported that Brian Armstrong said the creator coins and social feed fell short. Jesse Pollak later made a similar admission, according to The Block, and turned his focus to Base infrastructure.

Here is the real problem. A general feed asks everyone to care about everything. Nobody does. People gather around one thing they share, with a start, a finish and a result they can point to.

Why does a shared game round build belonging?

A round gives everyone the same clock, the same field and the same finish. That is what a feed never had. Let me explain how ours works.

Each voting round lasts one week and closes on Sunday night, US Eastern time. Up to 50 approved profiles compete. Players vote by sending $TTS to the voting contract on a profile they choose. When the round closes, Chainlink VRF draws the winning profile at random, weighted by tickets. More votes give a profile better odds, but no profile is guaranteed to win.

One round. One vote. Skin in the game, together. Everyone in the room is watching the same close, which is why the chat gets loud on Sunday night and why the people in it start to know each other by name.

What do players and creators get from a round?

They get a shared result that sits onchain, not a like count. The prize pool is only the $TTS voted on the winning profile.

• Without a club, the pool splits 35% to the top voter, 35% to the winning profile’s wallet, 10% to the charity wallet and 20% to the house.
• At settlement the contract mints three TTS Round Trophy NFTs: one to the winning profile, one to the top voter and one to the house wallet.

Votes are final and cannot be withdrawn. The trophy stays in your wallet, so the record travels with you, a point we made in own your onchain following.

How do clubs fit into community on Base?

Clubs give a group its own stake in a round. When a profile enters with a registered club code and wins, the club’s wallet receives a share of the pool.

Club registration is approved by the operator on request to support@temptationtoken.io. It is not self-serve. That keeps clubs real. People like you, with a crew already, get a name and a share in the result instead of a hashtag. What we expect from people in those rooms is in onchain community rules.

What do beginners need to start playing?

A wallet on Base and a little ETH on Base for gas. No purchase is needed to play: a new wallet receives a one-time signup bonus of 500 $TTS when it first connects, which covers votes at the 5 $TTS minimum.

The operator also matches a wallet’s first vote once, and caps how many bonuses it pays each day. Everyone must confirm they are 18 or older. If you are new, start with why you need a play wallet. Builders moving off the old feed can check Base documentation on standard web apps.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Coinbase wallet still self-custodial after the change?

Yes. Reporting on the change says the wallet stays self-custodial, which means you hold your own keys. That matters for a game player, because your $TTS and any trophy NFT sit in your wallet rather than inside a platform account. Check your recovery setup before you play.

Can I vote on more than one profile in a round?

Yes. A player may vote on more than one profile and add more votes during the round. A wallet with no eligible stake can vote at most 500 $TTS in a single transaction but may vote again. A vote is refused if it would lift a profile above 40% of all $TTS voted in that round.

What happens to votes on profiles that did not win?

They are burned. After the payouts, all $TTS left in the voting contract, meaning votes on losing profiles, goes to the burn address. The voting contract pays every winning share in $TTS straight to recipients’ wallets in the settlement transaction. A round with no votes has no winner, no payout and no trophies.

Can creators enter a profile without the old Base App feed?

Yes. A profile is entered by uploading a photo in the Submit tab at app.temptationtoken.io. Photos must be safe for work, and an admin reviews every submission. A wallet’s first submission needs a one-time ID and selfie check confirming the submitter is 18 or older and matches the photo.

Here is the one thing to try. Connect a wallet, use your signup bonus, cast one vote in this week’s round, and say hello in the community chat. Questions go to support@temptationtoken.io. Join.
