Original title: "Who can take over Friend.Tech? Check out 10 consumer-grade crypto applications worth paying attention to on Base"

Original source: TechFlow

More infrastructure and fewer applications is the classic status quo of the current crypto market.

In addition, most applications are still at the financial level, and real consumer-grade applications, using cryptocurrency incentives to apply to consumers' real lives, seem to be often overlooked.

As Web3 continues to go viral and become more well-known, if the next wave of consumer-grade applications can be created, then the Base chain must have a name.

Since Friend.Tech died down, many innovative consumer applications have emerged on the Base chain; and backed by institutions such as Coinbase, these consumer applications are also being favored by VCs and emerging markets.

The name Base (base camp) itself has gradually evolved from the Degen base camp to the consumer application base camp.

The editor has reviewed the consumer-level crypto applications that are worth paying attention to on the Base chain, and here is a brief introduction and sharing.

Blackbird: Focus on restaurant scenarios, consumer cashback + member loyalty rewards

X: @blackbird_xyz

Token: $FLY

Main business:

Blackbird is an application for restaurant dining, membership/loyalty management and payment.

After consumers install this application on their mobile phones, they can choose a restaurant they think is good and send a message directly to the restaurant to make a dining reservation.

At the same time, when consumers arrive at the store, they can click the Check-In button in Blackbird to let the restaurant know that they have arrived, and this check-in record will also be recorded by the software.

The more times a consumer checks in at a restaurant and the more they spend, the more $FLY tokens they can get (similar to cashback or member loyalty rewards); you can also use the tokens directly to pay for meals.

(Editor's note: It is not applicable in China, and the business is more in the US.)

US$11 million in seed round financing, led by Union Square Ventures, Shine Capital and Multicoin Capital, with participation from Variant, Circle Ventures and IAC;
