Base just got its first ICM incubator project, at just 1.5m MC, with a $1.5B partner behind it: $ROOM 0x6555255b8dEd3c538Cb398d9E36769f45D7d3ea7 Main idea: $ROOM is building the ICM Incubator on Base, backed by Aerodrome, the chain’s core DEX, which sits around $1.5B FDV with real volume and reach. That means every launch batch can go live on Base’s main trading venue with pre-planned trading depth and built-in visibility. Why now Almost everyone agrees that ICM is the meta with the most potential upside, and we have seen that everyone wants a piece of the pie (tons of launchpads on Solana, Metadao, Launchcoin, Heaven, Street, now PUMP, and BNB with its 1B builder fund), but on Base the competition is very light. And here you have tons of tailwinds: - Base attention could accelerate fast. Airdrop talk is everywhere, when flows rotate into Base, launch infrastructure is usually first to reprice. - $ROOM came through Virtuals, and Virtuals is now spot-listed on Robinhood, putting the Virtuals brand and its launches in front of a massive U.S. retail base. - competition on Base for a dedicated ICM incubator is very light -> clear lane to own the category. Founders: @Lennart_up: on-chain since 2019; founded Pacbot; winner in Blast Big Bang builder comp. @0xNotoriousPNG: founder of BlasterSwap (DEX); liquidity-native, AMM-pilled. Important bonus: They have their own product that managed to send the project to around $15m. It’s called Keys; their in-app access passes that turn private intel rooms into a paying community. Keys are bought and sold like any other on-chain asset (price moves with demand). Purchases use $ROOM, so usage creates native demand. Simple analogy: Keys are like paid Substack/Patreon memberships, but the pass itself is tradable, priced by the market, and doubles as a priority line when the incubator opens allocations. TL;DR - $ROOM = Base’s first ICM incubator with a $1.5B partner (Aerodrome) behind it. - Launch batches debut on Base’s main venue $aero with pre-planned trading depth + visibility. - Timing tailwinds: Base airdrop talk, Virtuals → Robinhood, very little competition on Base for ICM. - Team: doxxed builders with DEX/liquidity chops (Lennart_up, 0xNotoriousPNG). - Their own product, keys = paid, privacy-native audience → converts into allocations; buys use $ROOM.
