@itsbasil: Base builders are leaving due to creator coin focus over infra

Builder Basil (@itsbasil) argues that base builders are leaving the network because its focus has shifted to creator coins rather than infrastructure. He says he talks to four or five builders daily and that most of those trying to build scalable products are questioning base's direction and exploring alternatives. He writes that builders want a faster chain, gas stability, sponsorships and $10k checks, and that base should build the blockchain itself. He also criticizes a planned launchpad model in which founders could sell fifty percent of their token to holders, comparing it unfavorably to the 8% listing fee that Binance was criticized for.
