Based is a composable Web3 consumer Super App built natively on the Hyperliquid ecosystem. It serves as the primary gateway to Hyperliquid, unifying fragmented on-chain activities into a single, seamless interface for daily crypto usage.

The platform integrates three core capabilities:
– Spot and perpetual futures trading powered by Hyperliquid’s high-performance infrastructure
– Access to hundreds of prediction markets (via integrations such as Polymarket)
– Real-world spending through the Based Visa Card, accepted at over 100 million merchants worldwide

Users can trade, predict, earn, and spend crypto from one self-custodial account across web, iOS, Android, and desktop — eliminating the need to switch between multiple apps, wallets, or platforms.

Key highlights include:
– Native integration with Hyperliquid for institutional-grade speed, liquidity, and on-chain order book execution
– Full self-custody, ensuring users retain complete control of their private keys and assets
– A unified transaction layer that minimizes friction, redundant connections, and unnecessary transfers

Backed by a $11.5 million Series A round led by Pantera Capital (with participation from Coinbase Ventures and others), Based aims to become the default financial application for on-chain users by combining professional trading tools with practical real-world utility.
