Primitive
Ecosystem membership is usually an invisible list. Base World turns it into a spatial object: a map you can explore, point to, and feel part of.

Proof, up close
What the screenshots actually prove.
What went right
- Base World gives the ecosystem a spatial object people can point to.
- It earned real validation: a Base grant and a Jesse Pollak shoutout.
- The map is more memorable than a directory or a dashboard.
What went wrong
- Community maps can go stale without an update ritual.
- The object needs a reason to return, not just a reason to launch.
- Grant/shoutout proof still needs to be surfaced with links and screenshots.
