Wdyt About Memecoins on Base?

--------------------

With the rise of Base as an emerging L2 ecosystem, we’re seeing a wave of memecoins being launched there. Some say it’s driving adoption and bringing in new users, while others argue it’s just speculative hype with little long-term value.

What’s your take? Are memecoins on Base helping or hurting the ecosystem? Have you invested in any? Curious to hear different perspectives!

Memecoins can be a net positive if they’re paired with responsible education, tooling, and ecosystem support. Base is still early, and this memecoin phase might be part of its growth story—similar to Ethereum in 2017 or Solana in 2021. But it needs to avoid becoming a playground only for speculation.

So: Memecoins are a double-edged sword. Great for attention and onboarding, risky if they dominate the narrative without underlying progress.
