Odaily News Jesse Pollak, head of Coinbase protocols and head of Base protocol, said at the Meme Coin Hackathon held in New York on April 20 that Meme coins are an important part of the on-chain economy, and it is great to see more Meme coin-based communication helping the world enter the chain. Base is full of vitality, and these Meme coins are now bringing thousands of people into this new economy. Pollak said that in addition to speculation, Meme coin creators on the Base chain have also created many new ways for people to join the community, "This has created a Cambrian explosion of experiments for novices to get started, and people are trying various methods to explore how we can pass culture to more people." He added: "We are increasingly convinced that in the next few years, we will see these Meme coins attract millions of people to join Base. They will become one of the biggest driving forces because they are constantly attracting more and more people to join in creative ways." After the Ethereum Dencun upgrade in mid-March, transactions on Meme coins and Base surged because the upgrade reduced the fees of the Layer2 network. According to DefiLlama data, Base TVL has increased by almost 250% since the beginning of March. (Cointelegraph)
