L2 beat data shows that the Base chain TVL is approximately US$7.27 billion, ranking third in layer 2, second only to OP's US$7.567 billion.
Judging from the data growth, there is no doubt that it will surpass OP in the short term.
Although the DeFi application of Base chain is not very good, it is obvious that a large amount of funds are pouring in.
Regarding Base Chain, the public has two impressions. One is that social applications are very strong, including Farcaster, Friend.tech, etc. The other is that MEME is a coin paradise, second only to Solana.
The Base chain team also values MEME. Jesse Pollak, the head of the Base protocol, is the spiritual leader and leader of the Base chain MEME coin. He frequently retweets X tweets for the MEME coin project.
At the Memecoin hackathon in April, he gave a brilliant presentation on the MEME coin:
1. MEME has led thousands of people into the Base ecosystem;
2. The MEME community has created a lot of incredible creative content, including tweets, meme content, NFT projects, artwork, and various activities.
In short, the Base chain’s MEME is very lively.
June 6th. Base chain has an online event called Base meme summit. How will Base chain play MEME? Maybe there will be some answers.
What are the leading MEMEs on the Base chain at present? Let’s sort them out together.
Let’s first take a look at the 6 tokens involved in this event.
DINO. Base chain's new Erc50 protocol
On March 29, a Meme project called DINO began to raise funds on the Base chain. Don’t trust anyone except the code, and this sentence became the source of their trust in the community. DINO announced that it has launched a new ERC50 protocol. The main purpose of this protocol is fair sale, and almost all operations during the pre-sale process are written into the contract. This protocol can automatically allocate tokens, automatically lock positions, automatically refund, and automatically add LP to the liquidity pool. According to what the project team wrote, the project can be realized: no administrators, no mouse warehouses, and no RUGs.
RC50 sets a new standard for the meme token world, bringing fairness and security to meme enthusiasts and communities
On the day of launch, it also created a transaction volume of over 100 million, with a daily increase of more than 20 times. The current market value is 2.52 million, and the pool is 2.95 million. The pool is larger than the market value and has good potential.

MFER, NOGS: NFT projects are resurrected
MFER and NOGS are the tokens issued by NFT projects MFER and Nouns on the Base chain, and are airdropped to NFT holders. The former is the personal behavior of the founder, and the latter is community-driven without official participation.
Judging from the price trend, the former has a market value of 40 million US dollars, and the latter has a market value of less than 5 million US dollars. Judging from the popularity of the community, these two projects are becoming less and less vocal.

NOGS Token Address: 0x13741c5df9ab03e7aa9fb3bf1f714551dd5a5f8a
FRIEND: Plan to leave Base
friend.tech is the most popular social protocol on the Base chain. After it airdropped tokens, FRIEND skyrocketed and plummeted, and is currently in a downward trend. The market value is currently close to $100 million.
Currently, the project intends to leave the Base chain, and the founders claim that they are excluded by the Base community. From various perspectives, the future development of the project seems unclear.
In fact, new MEME coins are constantly emerging in Base, such as BUILD, but the prices of these tokens fluctuate greatly and they are very new, so we will not introduce them here.
Overall, the Base chain MEME seems to be in a downward trend. Compared with the recently active celebrity coins on Solana, the Base chain MEME can be said to have lost popularity.
Do you think that the online event on June 6th can bring about the MEME trend of the Base chain?
