if you check TL, you'll notice most of the devs are talking about erc-8021. what is it actually? in simple terms, it is basically a native referral system built on ethereum itself. so, basically when we use any dapp, we essentially perform txs. for example, let's say i built a dapp on base. on the frontend i'm showing that there is 100k daily active users but for base itself there is no way to verify how many traffic my dapp is actually bringing on base. but now, using erc-8021, base chain can track traffic from which dapp and how much traffic is being brought on base and this way base can also incentivize the developer. so how does it work technically? 1. dev registers their builder code in smart contract registry, linking it to their wallet address. e.g., i registered "base-miniapp" 2. now whenever any user performs any txs on that dev's dapp, the dev will attach their builder code at the end of the tx. so essentially users will submit the transaction along with the builder code onchain. 3. the platform can track where the activity is originating from and at last, revenue is distributed to developers based on the tx volume they generate. this inspiration actually came from hyperliquid. the og. anyway, happy weekend 🫴
