In the fast-paced world of crypto, where meme tokens thrive on community vibes and rapid innovation, building something lasting like a network state sounds ambitious. But that's exactly what tech visionary Balaji Srinivasan and crypto influencer XenBH are talking about in a recent tweet that's buzzing in the Base ecosystem. Posted by @nickcryptopro, the clip captures their straightforward advice on how to construct a network state on Base, the layer-2 blockchain that's become a hotspot for meme coins and onchain creativity.

The video, filmed at what looks like the "Base Around The World Network School" event—judging by the vibrant banner in the background—shows Balaji, XenBH, and Nick standing casually in a neon-lit venue. It's a short, punchy clip lasting about 35 seconds, but it packs in some golden nuggets for anyone looking to level up in blockchain.

From the subtitles and dialogue, the core message boils down to this: To build a successful network state on Base, focus on community engagement and contribution. Balaji and XenBH emphasize attending or organizing meetups around the world, contributing to crypto projects from anywhere, and acting as a creator or investor who gives back to the ecosystem. "Follow Base to meetups and crypto world ups, contributing anywhere," the subtitles highlight, underscoring the global, decentralized nature of this approach. They wrap up with a nod to reciprocity: "as a creator or investor, giving back—they'll thank you so much."

For those new to the term, a network state is Balaji's concept of a digital-first community that evolves into a sovereign entity, leveraging blockchain for governance, economy, and identity. Base, built by Coinbase as an optimistic rollup on Ethereum, is perfect for this because of its low fees, fast transactions, and thriving meme token scene. Think of it as a playground where dog coins and frog memes can grow into full-fledged communities with real utility.

This advice resonates especially with meme token enthusiasts. Many successful memes on Base, like those in the dog-themed or AI-inspired categories, start with strong community meetups—both online and IRL. By following XenBH's lead (he's tagged prominently in the video), builders can tap into global networks, host events, and contribute code or capital. It's not just about pumping prices; it's about creating value that sticks, turning fleeting hype into sustainable states.

The tweet has sparked enthusiasm in the replies. One user, @internet_token, called XenBH "goated," slang for greatest of all time. Others like @Pumpnasterr shared they're already building mini-games on Base, inspired by the talk. @official_714_ gave a shoutout, while @neo3141111 expressed hopes to join the next network state gathering. Even @TychiWallet chimed in, affirming they're "Building on Base, for Base!!" And @coinempress noted it's "short and right on spot—build and create and you should be rewarded."

If you're a blockchain practitioner eyeing meme tokens or deeper DeFi plays, this clip is a reminder: Success comes from collaboration. Dive into Base meetups, contribute openly, and give back—whether through creating new tokens, investing in promising projects, or simply sharing knowledge. Who knows? Your next meme could be the foundation of a network state.
