A big reason for this success is the high number of unique apps in Base’s ecosystem, i.e. projects that aren’t available on any other chain. 

That said, in Base’s app scene one project stands out as a particular bright spot to me, and that’s BasePaint. 

BasePaint is a collaborative “everydays” app where people come together to create daily pixel art canvases, and it’s an interesting time to take its pulse as the platform just celebrated its first birthday.
