Touch Base Ep.3 — $WIFB on Base

Host: WIFB on Base (@WIFBonBase) with Duck Therapist (@DuckTherapist_) · Tue 08 Sep 2026 · ~34 min · 6 speakers

TL;DR

• A short, housekeeping-style community call for the $WIFB ambassador program — two active events: a profile-picture swap to the brand's purple, and a new website "splash image" design contest.
• The design brief: a simple, subtly animated hero banner (think swaying trees/rolling waves), ~16:9, with the key visual kept in the middle 50% so it survives the mobile-vs-desktop crop.
• Prizes: $30 / $20 / $10 (paid in USDC or ETH), multiple submissions allowed, you can win more than one, runs to end of month. Ambassadors only.
• New onboarding flow: apply through the WIFB Ambassador bot, get approved, then earn "bows" and level up for bigger month-end rewards.
• Recent giveaway payouts went out live to Kaymax and Chicharito.
• Deliberately kept short — both hosts flagged a heavy day of in-real-life admin.

Highlights

[4:00] Purple everywhere. The host opens to a wall of matching purple profile pictures and can't stop screenshotting it — the profile-swap event is clearly landing, and she keeps coming back to how good the timeline looks.

[9:09] The splash-screen brief. Duck walks through what they actually want: the hero section you see landing on the website, lightly animated like the reference banner (trees swaying, waves coming in), eye-catching but not overly dramatic — and critically, built so the "Shop Now" button doesn't collide with the artwork.

[10:56] Keep it in the middle. The practical gotcha: desktop shows a wide image, mobile crops to roughly the center 50%, so all the important stuff and text needs to live in that middle band. Creators get free rein on what product to feature — candles, diffusers, perfumes, "inspired by" scents, whatever wins.

[12:01] The pitch, and a shout-out. The host lays out the easy on-ramp — change your picture, be in the program, earn a few dollars — and singles out Chicharito as the model ambassador: posting, showing up to Spaces, swapping his picture, "doing everything that he can to be involved," and getting rewarded for it. One of the strongest-reacting moments of the call.

[17:50] Rachel drops in from a very full day. Rachel arrives fresh off a run of shows and says she's headed to Washington, DC the next day to speak with senators about the Clarity Act, having already done a Solana space, a show with Gary Cardone, and a podcast recording — but had this call on her calendar to support the community.

[18:47] "Not a big shiller." The host explains the community-first philosophy: get to know the people and what they're about — charity, kindness — and then grab a small bag if you like it, rather than buying first and figuring out if you like the project later.

[20:15] Live payouts. The host spots recent giveaway winners in the room and sends Kaymax and Chicharito their rewards on the spot, apologizing for the delay amid a wall of client work.

[21:08] Self-care between shows. Rachel, running on roughly three hours of sleep, describes taking five meetings from the hair salon chair while getting ready for DC — trying to get everything done and still take care of herself. Asked whether she kept the red hair, she keeps the new color a surprise.

[26:29] Exit, stage left. As the space wraps, the host narrates Rachel's quick getaway with a theater bit — she's first out the door, not the type to sit through the credits waiting for everyone to file out — a light beat to close on.

Who said what

• WIFB on Base (@WIFBonBase^* — host; ran the room, pitched the ambassador program, prizes and community-first ethos, sent live giveaway payouts.
• Duck Therapist (@DuckTherapist_^* — cohost; owned the technical brief for the splash images, specs, animation reference, and payout-currency logistics.
• Rachel (@RachelCreates^* — guest; dropped in between shows, shared her DC/Clarity Act trip and a candid note on juggling work and self-care.
• IMMAPRO (@Ox_Immapro, "Jake,"^* — asked the clarifying questions (is the contest ambassador-only?) and needed a hand pinning the bot in Telegram.
• Speaker 4 — a late-night ambassador applicant (tagged in by Chicharito) who'd applied earlier and wasn't sure the program was still open; pointed to the bot flow.
• Kaymax (@Kaymaxsatified) and Chicharito (@DjChicharitoX) — active community members and recent giveaway winners; Chicharito held up as the ambassador template.

Worth a full listen

• [9:09]–[11:00] — If you plan to enter the design contest, the exact spec and the mobile-crop warning are only fully clear from Duck's own walk-through.
• [17:50]–[21:48] — Rachel's stretch is the human heart of the call: the DC trip, the community philosophy, live payouts, and the salon-meetings aside all flow together better in the replay.
