Base launches Batches 004 accelerator, investing $100000 each for 10 startups

Base announced the launch of the Batches 004 accelerator program, which will select 10 startups in an 8-week project, each receiving $100000 in investment from the Base Ecosystem Fund. The application deadline is September 9th, and the project will hold Demo Day in New York in November. This round of plans is aimed at seed startups focused on trading, payments, financing, and AI agency, and the team must use Base as the primary network. Selected teams will receive exclusive advisors, weekly support, and Base ecosystem exposure assistance, and showcase their projects to investors on Demo Day. Coinbase launched Agentic Wallets on Base in February this year and Coinbase for Agents in June, which support AI agents to hold USDC and make payments through x402 protocol, as well as directly connecting to user accounts. （Decrypt）
