Base is introducing Home Base at ETHDenver, featuring Braindate-powered networking that eliminates traditional small talk.​

How it works:

  • Select topics that interest you
  • Choose to host or join conversations
  • Platform handles the matching automatically

The initiative aims to create more meaningful connections at the conference by facilitating topic-based discussions rather than random networking encounters.​

Base is also hosting physical activities including workout sessions with Mensana Fitness, expanding beyond typical crypto conference programming.​
