🔵 Base Native: $5K

Find and improve libraries, frameworks, wallets, and applications so that they natively support Base (constants, providers, etc.). Find as many open source crypto repositories as possible that do not have native Base support, fork, modify, and get your pull request reviewed and merged. Only the first merged PR for a repository counts. Open source projects are weighted based on number of stars and development velocity. Update as many repositories as possible.

🔥 Account Abstraction: $6K

Join us in bringing the next cohort of users onchain. Provide a prototype of account abstraction that helps to simplify the user experience on Base. Deploy a project utilizing a paymaster based on specific user criteria, such as holding an NFT or previous onchain activity. Create a subscription service that is easier to consume and manage by being onchain.
