The Ethereum layer-2 network Base has witnessed a significant surge in activity, doubling its total value locked (TVL) to $2.13 billion in less than a month, propelled by a frenzy around meme coins. Notably, the memecoin sector within the Base ecosystem has seen a remarkable 445% growth in just 24 hours, with $DEGEN leading the charge, experiencing a 1500% increase in the past 30 days. This growth is attributed to projects like Drakula.app, which has integrated $DEGEN, allowing creators to earn $360,000 worth in 10 days. Moreover, the Base TVL has seen exponential growth across various metrics, including Dapp volume with 80%+ growth, transaction growth at 100%+, NFT volume with 75%+ growth, and DeFi TVL with 23%+ growth. Memecoins such as $TOSHI and $BRETT have also seen substantial market cap increases, surpassing $200 million and reaching $500 million and $250 million, respectively. The Base ecosystem's rapid expansion and the integration of meme coins highlight a significant shift towards embracing these digital assets, with $DEGEN emerging as a key player.
