Onchain trading still feels more fragmented than it should. Discovery in one place. Execution in another. Yield somewhere else. Portfolios in a separate tab. At some point you stop thinking about strategy and start managing windows. I ran into the @Velvet_Capital mini app on @base and realized a lot of that friction didn’t need to exist. 1/9

3/9 Trading & discovery This is one of the sections I’ve been spending the most time in. The trading views are customizable throughout. You can tune what you see based on the signals you care about like volume, activity, holders, market cap, instead of staring at noise. The Trenches is one expression of that. It works like a momentum view that makes it easier to catch moves early without stitching together dashboards. They’ve also been shipping trading upgrades on Base, including limit orders, which matters if you don’t want to sit there babysitting charts.

4/9 Wallet tracking (follow the whales) Velvet lets you track wallet activity alongside price and liquidity. You can see when active wallets are buying, selling, or rotating, and how that lines up with market moves. For people in the trenches, this helps you see where size is moving early, not after the chart already tells the story.

5/9 AI analysis (Velvet Unicorn) Velvet Unicorn is integrated as an analysis and decision-speed layer inside the terminal. You can ask in plain English and it pulls onchain data, social context, and market structure into one view. From there, you can either act yourself or have it execute directly for you. Useful things it surfaces quickly: • what’s trending on Base right now • chart context with TA and sentiment • liquidity, holder distribution, and basic risk checks • the ability to trade straight from the same interface if you want It’s helpful when things are moving fast and you want context and execution without breaking your flow.

6/9 Yield (managing yield positions) The yield section is built for people who actively manage their capital. Instead of jumping into separate protocol UIs, you can deploy into lending, staking, or liquidity-style yield directly from the terminal. You trade into the position, and it immediately starts earning. When it’s time to rotate or exit, you unwind from the same interface without retracing a bunch of steps. The point is not set and forget. It’s being able to rotate capital cleanly when conditions change.

7/9 Portfolios (the sleeper feature) This is where Velvet gets especially interesting for builders, KOLs, and groups. You can create a public, index-style portfolio that mints its own token, so others can join your strategy and track performance fully onchain. You control: • public vs private access • whitelisting • transfer rules • optional fees (management, performance, entry, exit) It’s basically launching a portfolio like a product.

8/9 Rewards (cashback + gems) Velvet rewards people who actually use the platform. Two simple pieces: A) Fee cashback The more you use Velvet, the less you pay. Active traders and stakers earn cashback on fees across trades, limit orders, and portfolio activity. In some cases, fees can be reduced heavily or even offset entirely. B) Gems (usage rewards) Gems are earned by being active: trading, staking, managing portfolios, or inviting others. You claim them daily. Staying consistent increases your rewards. Over time, Gems convert into $VELVET. Bottom line: show up, use the platform, get rewarded.

9/9 If you enjoy trading onchain, finding alpha, and staying close to what’s moving, without juggling multiple tools to do it, Velvet is worth trying. If you do, you can use my referral below. Affiliate code: poet Affiliate link:
