Base local bull market, what is the ecosystem experimenting with now?

$aeon

Aeon's core feature is being an "fully automated version of Lobster." It is an autonomous system that requires only a one-time configuration, eliminating the need for further manual interaction.

Market players consider it the "upgraded version of Lobster's upgrade." Based on the comparison from the official Github, in terms of functionality, Hermes is an upgrade to Lobster, while Aeon is an upgrade to Hermes. Aeon can run automatically according to a plan, automatically fix failed Skills, monitor its own output quality, maintain persistent memory across tasks, automatically react to conditions, and requires zero infrastructure.

The price of $aeon surged over 30 times at its peak in the past week, with a current market cap of approximately $13 million. The main catalysts are threefold:

- On May 12, there was widespread discussion on X about a16z co-founder Marc Andreessen following the official Aeon account.

- On May 14, former Clanker co-founder @_proxystudio announced they were integrating Aeon.

- On May 17, there was widespread discussion on X about Anthropic engineer and lead developer of Claude Cowork, Felix Rieseberg, forking another project, Opendia, by Aeon developer @aaronjmars on Github.

$MiroShark

This is another project by Aeon developer @aaronjmars. MiroShark is actually a fork of the previously viral MiroFish project, which received strategic investment from Shanda. Its core function is to input any seed material (news, policies, whitepapers, even novels), build a knowledge graph (GraphRAG), generate hundreds of AI agents with independent personalities and long-term memory, let them interact in simulated social/market environments, and ultimately output structured predictive reports.

Compared to MiroFish, MiroShark claims to be 10 times faster with better report quality, offering "$1 + 10 minutes to simulate anything." Additionally, it integrates the Aeon framework and Polymarket, and adds features like injecting breaking news mid-simulation and forking timelines.

On April 14, a player on X noticed that Paradigm CTO @gakonst had starred the project on Github, causing the token price to rise over 50% that day. Over the past week, $MiroShark surged over 5 times at its peak, currently holding a market cap of approximately $3.5 million. The core reason is liquidity spillover from the same developer following the $aeon price increase.

$LIQ

Liquid, a new Agent launchpad created by former Clanker co-founder @_proxystudio, saw its price rise approximately 4 times at its peak over the past week.

The reason for $LIQ's rise includes the point mentioned earlier when introducing $aeon, "On May 14, former Clanker co-founder @_proxystudio announced they were integrating Aeon." However, the context of this tweet is crucial. It was a reply under a reply from the Aeon dev, where the Aeon dev's original comment was completely unrelated to Aeon, merely praising a new token, $AUTONO, created by @_proxystudio on the Liquid platform.

$AUTONO is also a "vvv" concept token. It proposes a gameplay where Agents are nurtured using $diem. The token is priced in $diem, and Agents can earn $diem from each Swap, which they then stake on Venice. This essentially means the Agent earns its own usage credits on Venice, using those credits to autonomously build and improve itself in a continuous cycle.

@_proxystudio has indicated there will be a flywheel between $AUTONO and $LIQ in the future, but details haven't been disclosed yet.

$AUTONO currently has a market cap of approximately $1.6 million, while $LIQ's market cap is around $4.9 million. $LIQ rose approximately 4 times at its peak over the past week.

$GITLAWB

This is a decentralized Github for AI Agents, where agents can use cryptographic identities to perform tasks like pushing code and opening PRs using the same API interface as humans. The platform also includes an open-source coding agent, OpenClaude, and an LLM API router, OpenGateway, similar to OpenRouter but currently offering free computing power.

OpenGateway was a new feature launched on May 15. Just 13 hours later, total token usage reached 6 billion, and has now surpassed 212.34 billion. Xiaomi MiMo sponsored Gitlawb (OpenClaude) with unlimited usage for two weeks, while GMI Cloud, backed by Nvidia, sponsored a day of unlimited Gemini 3 Flash Lite usage. This has led to explosive growth in Gitlawb's overall data recently.

Currently, OpenClaude has over 27,000 stars and 8,500 forks on Github, with downloads exceeding 140,000. In April, founder Kevin also revealed that Gitlawb had entered the xAI program.

Overall, $GITLAWB's surge of over 5 times at its peak in the past week might also be somewhat related to the "vvv" concept, as they announced on May 11 that Venice had become a model provider for OpenClaude. Currently, $GITLAWB's market cap is approximately $28 million.

$PITCH

With the World Cup approaching, many World Cup-themed mechanisms and games have emerged recently. Pitch is a World Cup concept token on Base.

The gameplay is as follows: A total supply of 960,000 $PITCH tokens is fairly launched at a $500,000 market cap. Holders can then use $PITCH to open card packs, with each pack costing 1 $PITCH. Opening a pack yields a national team card, and each national team card corresponds to one national team token.

Of the $PITCH used to open card packs, 95% is added to the liquidity pool for the corresponding national team token, and 5% is burned directly.

Once all 48,000 card packs are opened, each national team token forms a trading pair with $PITCH. A 5% fee is charged on every transaction to burn $PITCH. These national team tokens can then be used to open player card packs, which include three roles: Captain, Best Player, and Rookie, each corresponding to a player token.

Essentially, this becomes a dynamic trading-based World Cup prediction market. Participants trade 48 national team tokens and 144 player tokens using $PITCH based on the tournament's progress, continuously burning $PITCH through trading. The project does not offer a final prize pool; all rewards come from trading profits.

Currently, $PITCH has a market cap of approximately $2.5 million.
