Success stories like Hyperliquid and Base demonstrate that prioritizing product quality before token implementation leads to better outcomes. Focus on solving real problems and earning user trust daily is crucial. History consistently shows that creating products people love should be the primary goal.

Product-First Development: Building Success Without Tokens

hyperliquid shows that building a product people love before you inject the complexity of a price is a Good Thing

we've seen the same thing with @base — starting without a token lets us focus on solving real problems and means we have to really earn it every day
and to be clear: hyperliquid isn't the only data point on this. literally the entire history of startups suggests the same

far and away the most important thing to focus on is building a world class product that people love. period.
shout-out to @chameleon_jeff for showing folks the power of product first development 🫡
@chameleon_jeff and finally: there are no plans for a @base network token. 

we are focused on building. and we want to solve real problems that let you build better. and I want your feedback on what we can be doing better.
