The blockchain world is buzzing with the recent announcement from Base, the Ethereum Layer 2 network backed by Coinbase. Out of over 900 projects submitted to Base Batches 002, only 50 made it to the Builder Track finals. These finalists are now advancing to Incubase, a virtual mentorship program designed to help them refine their ideas and scale their onchain applications.

Base Batches is a global program aimed at empowering builders to turn concepts into viable products. It features tracks like Builder and Startup, with participants getting access to expert guidance, resources, and a shot at presenting at Demo Day during events like Devconnect. For those in the meme token space, this is exciting because Base has become a hotbed for memecoins, thanks to its low fees and vibrant community.

In a tweet from Base Italy, the official account highlighted two standout projects representing Italy: Adsterix and Alphie Agent. These selections underscore the growing influence of European builders in the decentralized ecosystem.

What is Adsterix?

Adsterix is pioneering a decentralized advertising marketplace tailored for Farcaster, the social protocol built on Base. Farcaster is like a decentralized Twitter, where users own their data and interactions happen onchain. Adsterix reimagines monetization by letting creators earn directly from ads while brands target audiences in a transparent, permissionless way.

This could be a game-changer for meme token promoters and communities. Imagine seamless, onchain ads for the next viral memecoin launch—without relying on centralized platforms. Built as part of Base Batches 002, Adsterix is set to enhance how memes spread and monetize in the Web3 space. Check out their platform at adsterix.xyz.

Meet Alphie Agent

Alphie Agent is an AI-powered trading agent that integrates into group chats on Base. It tracks trades in real-time, allowing users to copy trade others or get insights before moves are publicized. Described as "I see your trades before you flex them," Alphie lives in chats, making it easy to monitor and replicate strategies.

For meme token traders, this tool could supercharge alpha hunting—spotting early buys in volatile memecoins. Developed by Builders Garden, Alphie won recognition in the Builder Track and even had a live demo at events. It's perfect for the fast-paced world of memecoins, where timing is everything.

Why This Matters for Meme Tokens

Base has exploded as a hub for memecoins, with projects like Brett and Degen leading the charge. Initiatives like Batches foster innovation that directly benefits this ecosystem. Adsterix could streamline meme marketing, while Alphie Agent empowers traders to navigate the hype cycles more effectively.

The selection of these Italian projects shows Base's commitment to global diversity. As they enter Incubase, expect mentorship from industry leaders to polish these tools further. For blockchain practitioners, this is a reminder: keep building, as the next batch is always around the corner.
