Blase Airdrop: Founder Hints 👀
At this point, it’s pretty clear that a $BASE token is in the works.
The real question now is simple:
Are you actually positioned for the airdrop?
Below are three hints shared by the Base founder that could play a role in future airdrop criteria. Nothing here is confirmed, but this is the clearest guidance we’ve seen so far.
Hint #1: Trade
On October 6, 2025, Jesse tweeted:
“Trade and you will be rewarded.”
This strongly suggests staying active on Base through regular trading or swapping. It doesn’t really matter which dApp you use—as long as your activity is happening on the Base chain. You can do simple swaps on apps like Jumper or trade perps on platforms such as Avantis. The key point: use Base naturally. Avoid bot-like behavior. Spamming meaningless back-and-forth swaps just to inflate volume doesn’t work anymore and is easy to detect. The smarter approach is to behave like a real user—swap when you actually need to, and stay consistent over time.
This hint may also be pointing toward the Base mobile app. The app includes a built-in swap feature, so using it occasionally is probably a good idea.If you haven’t yet:
Import your main wallet
Do small swaps from time to time
Consistency > volume
Hint #2: Create
On September 20, 2025, Jesse tweeted:
“Create and you will be rewarded.”
This seems to focus on content creation, but not just on X. Creating content inside the Base app itself may matter just as much—if not more.
Many people assume this only benefits large creators, but that’s likely not true. The Base app is still early, and most users aren’t posting consistently there. That creates a big opportunity.
If you show up regularly, post content, and stay active inside the app, you could gain an edge simply by being early and consistent.
Hint #3: Build
On September 19, 2025, he tweeted:
“Build and you will be rewarded.”
This one is straightforward: build on Base.
That includes:
Building standard dApps on Base
Building Mini Apps inside the Base mobile app. This obviously applies mostly to developers, so it’s not for everyone. But if you are a dev and want maximum exposure to a potential Base airdrop, building a Mini App is likely one of the strongest signals you can send.
Final Thoughts
These hints may sound simple, but the real advantage comes from long-term consistency.
If Base launches an airdrop, it’s very unlikely they’ll reward wallets that do 200 swaps in one day and disappear. That kind of behavior is easy to filter out.
What will likely matter:
Real usage over time
> Weekly activity on Base
> Keeping funds on the chain
> Interacting with multiple apps naturally
> And don’t ignore the Base mobile app.
It’s clearly something the team wants users to adopt. Swapping inside the app and posting there consistently could give you an edge—especially since most people still aren’t doing it regularly.
Slow, real usage beats aggressive farming every time.
