Developer's Personal Account: I Wasted Three Years on Base

Developer @weretuna, co-founder of @pndmdotorg, shares a critical account of their three-year experience building on Base, the Ethereum L2 chain backed by Coinbase. Initially drawn by promises of strong developer support and an "app-first" narrative, the team built over 10 products, including games, AI agents, and prediction markets. Despite creating @infecteddotfun, one of Base's most viral games that gained 50k followers in a month, they received no support, retweets, or even responses from the Base team. The author realized that support was selectively given to projects affiliated with Base's investments, like Farcaster and Zora, rather than based on merit or innovation. After receiving empty promises of support for their successful launch, the team migrated to Solana. There, they built @addicteddotfun, which generated $4M in revenue in 48 hours, becoming a major 2025 crypto game. The conclusion is that developers should build where the users and liquidity are—currently Solana—and avoid chains that fail to deliver on promises of support, ultimately saving time and achieving greater success.
