I cant wait to share what our team has been building for the last number of months. an incredible feat for such a small team and we're just getting started
our RPG update is getting closer and closer. A truly onchain mmo that rewards its players, designed for replayability and competition
All your adopted floofs will be smart NFTs, completely tradable with rare traits, moves, elements and natures. Curating your team is going to be important to stand up to the best players and hardest enemies
Coming soon to @base and maybe other chains 🤫
As our RPG update gets closer, we thought it was time to share an update on Cat Town’s progress, roadmap and long-term vision. 🐾
We’re building an ambitious onchain MMO with a real player economy on @base.
The RPG update will expand Cat Town many times over, introducing a much larger world filled with stories, characters, enemies and meaningful progression.

Thank you cats for the birthday wishes and a very migglish appreciation to all of our friends we’ve made along the way. 🟦💙
@coinbase @base @cobie @brian
To all the future cats joining us to onboard the next billion onchain with us, we welcome you with open paws. We’ve had history changing moments (IP licensing, Moon mission, Tokyo Tower takeover, and so much more) for this entire industry and we look forward to creating many more with you all. 😼💙
many frens not included in our pic but here’s a few cats (frogs and penguins included) would love to thank dearly:

Most memorable moment so far (many more to come):
📖 December 2024 — Coinbase officially granted @MrMigglesOnBase the rights to develop and expand the Miggles IP. First meme in its category to receive an IP from a T1 and a first of its kind.
🌗 March 2025 — Miggles became the first meme cat to land on the actual Moon, aboard MoonDAO’s LifeShip capsule.
🗼Tokyo Tower — the Meme World Order takeover, our biggest frens meetup yet, alongside communities like PepeCoin, Nouns and Pudgy Penguins.
𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙘𝙖𝙩… ✍️
Two years ago today cat stepped into this community carrying more grief than cat knew what to do with. Cat had actually just lost his father — far too young. Cat wasn’t looking for a project. Cat was unironically looking for something to hold onto.
What cat found was a friend named Miggles. And behind that cat, something I didn’t expect: proof of what the internet was supposed to be. Thousands of strangers from every timezone and walk of life, showing up for each other with no pre-sale, no airdrops, no paid influencers — just belief. When the original developer moved on, nobody asked permission. The community simply took the reins. That’s the quiet miracle of crypto that outsiders never see: it gives strangers a way to trust each other, coordinate, and build together without anyone standing in the middle.
Seeing that community gather under Tokyo Tower — in person, across an ocean, in my father’s homeland no less — is something I’ll never forget. People who met as anonymous avatars hugging like old friends. That’s when it stopped being abstract and more about something simple to cats nature. Internet strangers become best friends. Best friends become family. And family builds things.
We sent our communities alongside others like Pudgy, OTD, and others to the literal Moon (thanks for Firefly Aerospace). Can’t find another community that can say that out of the 20+million deployments.
Along the way we held the line on what matters. No VC strings pulling us where we don’t want to go. We did the unglamorous work too — the legal diligence, the audits, the structure — because a billion-dollar cat deserves a foundation as strong as its spirit.
Grief doesn’t go away. But it changes shape when you give it somewhere to live. This community gave mine a home.
So we keep going. Year three starts now. Less abstract, more migglish than ever.
To every holder, every creator, every believer who’s been here through it all: thank you… and this one’s for him.
🐱 $Miggles forever.
- just another cat in the community.

Bad news: our current financial system is as old as this instrument.
Good news: Joe is back.
Hit it Joe.

@cobie
lots of conversations about base over the last week. wanted to share my candid take after a week of listening and a lot of reflection over the last 6 months.
first off - in case it’s not obvious, the first quarter of 2026 was a punch in the face. I spent 2024 and 2025 making a two pronged bet to bring base to the world: (1) builders would unlock the next wave of crypto adoption; (2) adoption would be driven by new onchain-native social experiences - creators, content, messaging. imo we made the right bet on builders, but obviously the wrong bet on social. builders did drive the next wave of crypto adoption - prediction markets, perpetuals, stablecoins - but social was not at the center of it. in fact, the entire social side of the market that many of us had been building towards - farcaster, zora, miniapps, and yes, creator coins - disintegrated completely. I was wrong - whether it was timing wrong (is $ansem a creator coin?) or fully wrong, only time will tell, but regardless, i was definitively wrong.
the collateral damage was pretty bad! and this year has been an exercise in eating shit. we realized how our focus on social had meant that base had fallen behind in key areas that were now increasingly critical - we had perps (shoutout avantis!) and prediction markets (shoutout limitless!), but both were well behind scaled competitors. and we had a lot of room to improve in unlocking base as a platform for tokenization and payments that really worked for enterprises. people lost confidence, and CT spectators reminded me weekly of all of my mistakes as often as they could. it felt bad man, still feels bad.
but if there’s one thing i’ve learned from the last decade of building in this space, it’s that when things feel the worst, the best thing to do is just put your head down and build. so that’s what i’m doing. I refocused my time and attention back to the chain away from the app, started writing code again, shipped a bunch of stuff (azul, beryl, b20, privacy, ledgers) and questioned a bunch of my assumptions: does crypto need social to grow? does base need an app? can base be bigger than coinbase?
I thought for a long time that social was the only thing that could drive the sort of viral growth to get crypto to a billion people. unsurprisingly, I now believe that’s wrong. It’s clear that better money is more than enough - we are seeing this live with stablecoins, predictions, perpetuals, tokenization and i only expect it to accelerate. I am now focused on bringing a billion people onchain just by making global finance actually work.
on the app, my focus is on building base into the blockchain for global finance. to that end, i’ve handed the base app back to the coinbase mothership, where my now good friend @cobie will be taking it from here to make it the best damn app for onchain you’ve ever seen, including expanding beyond the base ecosystem in ways that tbh i won’t love as the leader of base.
it’s incredibly hard to grow a decentralized network inside of a big public corporation. and i feel like much of the discourse on CT over the last week is downstream of this. the following things can be true: (1) base (and i) love memes and (2) brian probably won’t ever bullpost memes on the tl (this activity is illegal once you’re over 40 years of age). it’s weird and we’re working through it as we continue to decentralize base, which has been our commitment from the beginning.
we’re going to build base into the blockchain for global finance and do everything we can to be the place that the world’s money settles over the next century. we will surely have formidable competitors (welcome robinhood and stripe!) and people may abandon our cause, but we welcome the competition and believe it’s our duty to win the respect and commitment of those who rally to our banner.
in 2026, this concretely means three things: winning trading, payments, and agents.
