In the fast-paced world of blockchain and crypto, making connections can be as simple as a tap on your phone. That's exactly what happened at a recent meetup in Mexico City, where attendees overwhelmingly chose the Base App to swap contact details. This nugget of info comes straight from Xen, the Head of Global Growth at Base, who posted on X: "At the meet-up tonight in Mexico City the default app people were using to share contact details was the @baseapp."

For those new to the scene, Base is an Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain built by Coinbase, designed to make transactions faster and cheaper. The Base App takes this a step further—it's like a super app for Web3, where you can create content, earn rewards, trade assets, discover new dApps (decentralized applications), and even chat with friends all in one spot. Its catchy tagline, "It pays to be here," isn't just hype; it reflects the built-in incentives that make everyday interactions rewarding.

The post sparked some lively replies, highlighting the app's growing popularity. One user expressed gratitude with a simple "Thanks for information Xen 💙," while another pondered, "Wow @baseapp was the default at the Mexico City meetup, what feature sealed the deal for folks?" Someone else chimed in with "Smart move, BaseApp saved us from the business card graveyard," poking fun at outdated networking methods. And in a nod to its cultural shift, a reply noted, "base isn’t just an app anymore it’s becoming the handshake of web3 🫐."

This real-world adoption is a big deal for the meme token ecosystem, which has found a cozy home on Base. Meme tokens—those fun, community-driven cryptocurrencies often inspired by internet jokes or trends—thrive on platforms with low fees and high engagement. Think of hits like Brett or Degen; they're built on Base because it supports quick trades and viral moments without breaking the bank. When people at meetups start using Base App for something as basic as sharing contacts, it signals deeper integration into daily crypto life, potentially driving more traffic and innovation to meme projects.

As blockchain practitioners, keeping an eye on tools like Base App can give you an edge. It's not just about networking; it's about being part of an ecosystem where every interaction could lead to new opportunities, whether that's launching your own meme token or collaborating on the next big dApp. If you're in Mexico City or planning to attend similar events, downloading the Base App might just become your new default move.
