Base is running Stocks Maxxing Season, a one-month campaign for builders of tokenized stock products, with more than $100,000 in rewards, Base said on its campaign page. The campaign opened on November 5, 2026 and closes on December 5, 2026.
The build-and-launch phase opens on November 13, 2026, after a week of brainstorming with partners that began on November 6. Projects are due December 5, 2026.
There are three tracks, each with its own Base prize pool. Meme and Community Economies covers new ways to organize memes and communities around tokenized equities. Agentic Stock Finance covers agents that research, earn or trade around tokenized stocks. Programmable Stock Markets covers new stock market building blocks, including custom portfolios, indexes, structured products, financing tools, prediction markets and market infrastructure.
Launchpad partners add their own prizes, incentives and support on top of Base’s pools. The partners listed are o1 Exchange, Bankr, Stonks Exchange, BaseStonk, Feel.cash and Hydropump by Hydrex, each with a support group for builders. Base said partner programs are administered under each third party’s own terms, that support and rewards vary by program, and that it is not responsible for them.
Teams can ship something new, such as an app, agent, community or financial tool. Launching a token is optional. Projects that launched a token between August 5 and November 4, 2026 can take part by shipping a new stock-linked product or feature during the season.
According to the official rules, the sponsor is Coinbase Technologies. Entrants must be 18 or older and not resident in a region under U.S. OFAC sanctions, and can enter alone or in teams of up to five. To enter, a team posts a public video demo on X tagging @buildonbase and submits the entry form, with one entry per track. Projects must be built on, or meaningfully integrate with, Base, and testnet builds are allowed. No purchase, wallet funding or token holding is required. Prizes are paid in USDC on Base, and a panel chosen by the sponsor judges each track.
Base also points builders to a Tokenized Stocks API, which reads token contracts, supply, multipliers and reference values for tokenized stocks on Base, and to a guide for listing and integrating tokenized stocks.
The campaign page states that dates, reward amounts, partner participation and judging criteria may change, and that Coinbase and Base may modify, suspend or cancel the campaign in whole or in part where permitted.
