What is Based?

Based is a financial application built on Hyperliquid, enabling users to trade cryptocurrencies, equities, and commodities through a unified interface. Users can fund their accounts directly from bank accounts or credit cards and can spend balances using a Visa Platinum card at over 100 million merchants globally without requiring a separate off-ramp.

The platform supports multiple devices, including web, iOS, Android, and desktop, allowing operations from a single account. Key features include curated Launchpools for access to early projects and AI-native wallets designed for autonomous trading and risk management.
