Welcome Bankless Nation to Bankless TV on this episode of Bankless TV.

0:07.6

We are covering the Baste ecosystem.

0:09.5

That's right. It's base day on Bankless TV.

0:12.2

And to kick off Base Day, we are bringing on the creator of Bass.

Jesse Pollock, Jesse, good to have you on.

0:18.7

Thanks for having me.

0:19.4

Excited to be here.

0:20.1

Happy Base Day.

0:20.8

Happy Base Day. Yeah, Fridays are Baseited to be here. Happy base day.

0:18.7

Happy base day. Yeah, Fridays are base day. And then every other base day. Every other day is base day as well. I believe that's how that works. I think that's right. It is, it is base era. So we like to think every day is base day. I thought your guys is naming of your marketing, your announcement day of a new day one was pretty clever

And so blockchains are plumbing. Blockchains are software. They are back end infrastructure. but we know that they can be more than just plain, dumb asset ledgers.

1:11.3

They can do more than just

1:28.8

plain, dumb asset ledgers. They can do more than that. And to me, when I saw the presentation
