Base has launched a Creator Grant Program offering independent creators grants of up to $4,000 to produce content about the Ethereum layer 2 network, its ecosystem and builders. Writers, streamers, recurring show hosts, independent video creators and educators producing content in their own languages can apply, with eligible formats including deep dives, memes, analysis and social media threads. Selected creators may receive access to Base builders and coverage through the network’s regional accounts, while emerging creators can qualify for separate Creator of the Week bounties worth up to $500. Base did not disclose the program’s total funding, selection target, duration or grant-allocation formula. The initiative follows the end of Base’s Creator Rewards program and Farcaster-powered social feed after the network reassessed its creator-led strategy and content-coin model. Base has since placed greater emphasis on trading, payments and AI agents, including expanded perpetual-futures access and tokenized U.S. stocks in the Base App.
