🟦 The BASE App 🔵

The new BASE app is early — real early. But that’s when potential is at a high.

Benny + Ozzy got into the beta. We’re already working on Mini Apps that go beyond the current surface. Current apps feel like prototypes, which gives us space to actually build at the known Craft Engine quality bar.

We’ll share what works, what breaks, and where we take it.

Read Benny's full X thread with first impressions:

Next VC tomorrow, we'll announce the exact time soon.

CUSTOM IMAGE ENGINE — fast, tuned, and high quality.

One part of our full-stack AI toolkit for online communities.

@LOAFCATCTO is using it to create, engage, and build around Lofie — cute on the surface, deep underneath.

🔵 Founder Project Update with Ruby

https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1mnGegpvmevxX

🔴 LIVE NOW 🔴

The crypto scene has always lived in the reflex layer. Attention flows to the chart, not the product.

And when the chart dips, belief vanishes, fast. It doesn’t matter what you’re shipping — a red candle reads like failure.

But we didn’t change — and we won’t. We’re not here for the cycle. We’re here for the system. This is the Invisible Valley — the quiet stretch where most walk away, and only the ones who actually build stay.

Ethereum went through it. So did every project that mattered and actually changed the real world — not just moved numbers on a chart up and down. We’re in it now. Still here. Still building. Here to stay.

🔵

Marketing Update

The reason you haven’t seen big marketing yet? Because attention without substance doesn’t stick.

We’re not here to chase short-term hype. We’re building something people actually stay for.

Before we go wide, we need to make sure every potential holder can answer three simple questions:
1. Who’s behind this?
2. What’s the vision — and why should I believe in it?
3. Why should I buy — and why should I hold?

Here’s where we stand:
- The team is doxxed — fully public and accountable.
- The vision is done — clear, long-term, and grounded. We’re just taking a bit more time to present it right: clean infographics, one-glance slides, and media that tell the story without needing a pitch.
- And we’re finalizing the holder layer — a $CRAFT Holder Page that connects your wallets, tracks your activity, measures your loyalty — and turns it all into experience points. XP leads to tiers, tiers unlock loot, and progression becomes visible.

We want people to land and get it — fast.

And once it’s live — then we market.

Product Update

So what are we building?

We’re not just preparing for a campaign — we’re preparing for real usage.

First up is our monetized Base app — something that doesn’t exist yet, and something Base KOLs and their communities will actually want. It’s designed to bring value to the ecosystem — and place us directly into the Base app store. We’re not expecting huge revenue on day one, but that’s not the point. We’re planting a flag — and we’re confident users will follow.

Next, we’re finalizing self-service onboarding for two of our core engines:
- Custom Image Engine – so anyone can set up their own branded image generator and embed it into their project or community. This unlocks real monetization at scale — without hands-on effort from us.
- Character Engine – so projects can build their own assistant. One that understands their team, their roadmap, their tone. Fully personalized, always on-brand.

These tools weren’t built for demos — they’re built to be used. And used often.

We’re shipping fast. All our engines are getting weekly improvements — features, fixes, polish. To make that visible, we’ve launched website page for updates. Because this is what momentum looks like: week by week, brick by brick.

Visit here: https://craftengine.app/updates

No fluff. No faking volume. No “project is dead” arc.

We’re still here. Still building. Same plan, same team, same conviction — just closer to launch.

And the timing? Couldn’t be better.

The Base app is nearly ready. ETH is moving, Altcoin season may be around the corner.
We’re in position — and we’re ready to move when it hits.

Maybe this has to be a underdog story, what if I would have bought $CRAFT in summer '25?

Community Update

We’ve tested a few things. Some worked, some didn’t. The referral push brought numbers — but also bots. That’s not what we’re about.

Going forward, we’re focusing on real engagement — features and competitions that reward actual users, not empty accounts.

We’ll roll out smaller, consistent updates that keep the momentum alive:
– Better competitions tied to our generative AI tools
– Smarter ways to reward activity, loyalty, and contribution
– More data-driven systems that surface real leaders, not noscripts

We’re dialing it in. Less noise, more signal.
So if you’re here for the long game — stay tuned. The next wave is built for you.
