Dimes

Built on the Base blockchain, Dimes is a social commerce layer inside Coinbase's Base App that enables users to shop and earn rewards. This innovative platform connects players to fans by offering official USL Championship League Digital Cards that can be bought, traded, and collected throughout the season and beyond.

Dimes' technology features a unique token-based system where ownership of digital cards grants real utility, including entry into raffles for merchandise, signed jerseys, tickets, and exclusive events. Players also earn royalties on every trade, with values driven by scarcity, performance, and demand. This approach eliminates middlemen and creates lasting income streams for creators.

The Dimes platform is designed to support creators and builders, providing a space where ideas become reality, connections are made, and the seeds of onchain innovation are planted. With its focus on social commerce and community-driven rewards, Dimes offers a new way for users to engage with their favorite teams and players while earning rewards.

Dimes has established partnerships with Shopify merchants, allowing users to seamlessly purchase goods from thousands of stores within the Base App. The platform's use of any combination of tokens in a user's wallet enables a seamless shopping experience, while its social features allow users to discover what their network is buying and earn rewards by sharing products with friends.

The Dimes team has created a comprehensive resource for builders and dreamers, including shared workspaces, private meeting rooms, and weekly builder programming. Membership NFT holders have full access to the space and curated activations, while partner memberships include event management and waived rental fees outside normal hours. The Builder Fund supports member builds, with 50% of membership funds allocated towards operations, 30% towards Dimes token burn, and 20% towards the Builder Fund.
