2025 marks a defining moment for AI and crypto, and I'm excited to share how Magnet is leading this transformation. Although the year has just begun, we're already pushing boundaries across three core initiatives. Consider this our New Year's gift to the Magnet Fam!

Our Vision and Progress

We’re laser-focusing on 3 transformative initiatives:

• Two groundbreaking products (Meme Blind Box 2.0 and Magnet Platform)

• Deepening our integration with Base Network

• Nurturing the Claude MCP ecosystem

Let me share our progress and plans in each area.

1. Product Innovation

Meme Blind Box 2.0

We're on the cusp of launching MBB 2.0 with a breakthrough update that will transform your meme experience. Stay tuned – we can't wait to show you what we've built!

Magnet Platform

We've open-sourced magnet-desktop

Our MCP server manager built on the Claude MCP protocol. This year, we're taking a giant leap forward by deeply integrating MCP with Base Network to create an AI Agent Freelance platform powered by Base's global payment network. This includes:

• Pioneering monetization methods for the MCP ecosystem through global micropayments and a tokenized Creator Hub for Claude MCP

• Building a vibrant marketplace where users and developers can trade cutting-edge MCP crypto servers and more

2. Dedicated to Base Ecosystem

Our commitment to the Base ecosystem is stronger than ever in 2025:

• We've joined forces with Tintinland, the largest Web3 developer and student community in the Chinese-speaking region, to launch Based China. This groundbreaking initiative unites key APAC partners including Foresight News, HashKey, Pond, Virtuals, Gambit, and Tako to accelerate Base's presence in the region.

• As Base's AI Pioneer, we're leveraging the Magnet platform to bring the next wave of AI developers and users to the Base Network.

3. Claude MCP Ecosystem Innovation

Our dedication to the MCP ecosystem runs deep:

• Since Claude's embrace of the open-source community on November 25th, we've been at the forefront as an MCP OG, consistently pushing the boundaries of what's possible

• We maintain the Awesome MCP crypto list for the ecosystem. If you're passionate about contributing to the MCP ecosystem, reach out to me on X: @baaadkk

• We contributed the very first crypto asset interaction mcp server: Base Free USDC Transfer, it allows ppl to manage and transfer USDC on Base locally with Claude, powered by Coinbase CDP.

• Our open-source Magnet desktop app for macOS and Windows democratizes access to MCP servers. The MIT-licensed desktop app is ready for both use and contribution

• We're proud to have founded the first MCP Crypto Alliance, exploring groundbreaking synergies between Claude MCP and crypto. We're joined by visionary leaders including Luca (Base ecosystem | AI & DePIN lead) and Dylan (Founder of Pond). Builders eager to shape the future of MCP and crypto can connect with me on X: @baaadkk

The Road Ahead

2025 is set to be a vital year for Magnet. We're all-in on building the Programmable Action Agent Platform, delivering desperately simple yet powerful products to both the Base Network and Claude ecosystem. Our commitment to the AI+Crypto space remains unwavering - keep building, stay based!

Join us as we forge the future of AI and crypto integration. The revolution is just beginning, and we're just getting started!
