Base Batch 004 Program Receives Over 750 Applications Amid Conflicting Announcements

Coinbase ($COIN)’s Ethereum layer-2 network Base, operating the developer support program 'Base Batch 004,' has received over 750 applications. The announcement date for selected teams is conflicting between external reporting and Base’s official page. CryptoBriefing reported that Base plans to reveal selected teams on September 29. This program targets early-stage projects developing on the Base network, offering up to $100,000 per team from the Base Ecosystem Fund, totaling a maximum of $1 million if 10 teams are selected. Participating teams will join an eight-week online program featuring dedicated mentorship, weekly mentoring sessions, and expert support across fields including trading, payments, agents, finance, and asset issuance. Teams must use Base as their primary network and have completed a formal seed round. Base’s official page states that Base Batch has been held twice annually since its 2025 launch, with this being the fourth iteration. The program has previously supported early-stage teams in product development and fundraising. Official dates include September 17 for acceptance notifications, an online program from September 21 to November 15, and a New York demo day on November 17. CryptoBriefing’s reported announcement date of September 29 differs from the official schedule. Base previously announced a $1 million investment into an initial 10 teams for its developer support program. The high number of applications exceeding 750 reflects strong developer interest in Base, according to CryptoBriefing.
