BLIND: THE SOCIAL CAPITAL LAUNCHPAD

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Blind is a new token launchpad launching on Base that enables users to leverage their social capital while maintaining privacy control over their identity data. The platform pulls social statistics from connected X accounts and various data sources, including Ethos Network and Kaito, allowing users to selectively reveal metrics like follower counts, reputation scores, and mutual connections when deploying tokens. A key differentiator is a social gating functionality that restricts token launch participation to users meeting specific criteria, such as follower thresholds or mutual connections with particular accounts, implemented through Uniswap V4 custom hooks.
