Base Seoul Meetup - 2024 Dec: Based Year-End Meetup 🎄

What better way to wrap up an incredible year than with an evening of insights, celebrations, and a room full of people dressed in Base Blue? Our final meetup of 2024 brought together around 30 members of our community at SOOHO Lounge for an unforgettable evening of learning, sharing, and holiday cheer.

Looking Back, Looking Forward

The evening kicked off with an exciting recap of Base's global journey in 2024 and a peek into what's coming in 2025. Get ready for massive expansion plans focusing on stablecoins, enhanced mentorship programs, and exciting hiring opportunities!

For our Seoul community, 2025 is looking especially bright with:

• A new dedicated website archiving all our educational content
• Regular study sessions for new Base builders
• Base Hackathons coming to Seoul
• Our first-ever Base Summer Retreat/Camp!

From Engineering to Product: A Fireside Chat with Anika

Anika, Base Chain Product Manager at Coinbase, shared her inspiring journey from engineering to product management. Her key message? Technical backgrounds can be a superpower in product roles! She also gave us a glimpse into Base's startup-like culture, where teams operate on quarterly OKRs, fostering both agility and accountability.

Capturing Memories Onchain with Moshicam

Robin, cofounder of Moshicam, introduced us to a fresh take on digital photography. Think of it as a blockchain-powered Polaroid camera – creating authentic, unpolished moments that you can share with friends and even earn from! The exciting news? Moshicam is now available on both App Store and Play Store!

Hackathon Heroes: Industry.ai's Path to Victory

Fresh from their ETHGlobal Bangkok victory, Industry.ai's Sohey and Flynn shared their winning project: an autonomous Web3 agent agency where AI agents collaborate to handle complex crypto tasks through natural conversation. Their advice for future hackathon participants? Build a strong team, focus on impact over bounties, and make sure everyone can pitch the project by heart!
