Have you ever wondered what happens when a blockchain like Base hits a hotbed of innovation like India? Well, if Nick Crypto Pro's recent tweet is anything to go by, it's pure magic. Nick, a core contributor to projects like Kickoff.fun on Base, shared his eye-opening experience at a recent meetup in Bangalore. He expected to chat with a handful of developers, but instead, he ran into hundreds—all buzzing about building on Base.
In his tweet, Nick posted a video montage capturing the energy of the event. Picture this: developers, creators, and entrepreneurs mingling in a swanky venue, pitching ideas, and forging connections. The backdrop? Banners screaming "Base Bangalore" and a crowd that's as diverse as India's crypto scene itself. Nick summed it up perfectly: "Bullish on India and @Saxenasaheb."
Who's Driving the Base Hype in India?
@Saxenasaheb, or Saumya Saxena, is the force behind Based India, the local arm pushing Base's adoption. As Base's India lead, he's been instrumental in growing the community from scratch. Over the past year, they've onboarded thousands of builders through fellowships, virtual events, and now, IRL meetups like this one. The "Base Around the World: Bangalore" event, co-hosted by Base and Based India, sold out in minutes—proof that India's ready to go fully onchain.
At the event, projects took the stage to demo their innovations. Highlights included AI-powered trading tools, decentralized betting platforms like DGbet, competitive gaming on ChainOn Top, DeFi credit cards from Brahma.fi, and AI dev assistants. These aren't just apps; they're gateways for everyday users to enter the crypto world, much like how meme tokens democratize finance.
Why Base is a Meme Token Paradise
Speaking of meme tokens, Base has become a go-to Layer 2 for them thanks to its low fees and seamless Ethereum integration. Built by Coinbase, Base makes launching and trading memes affordable and fast—perfect for India's massive crypto user base of over 100 million. Tokens like Brett (the Base mascot-inspired meme) and others have exploded here, drawing in retail investors and creators alike.
This Bangalore meetup underscores how Base is fueling meme token creativity in India. Builders are experimenting with social tokens, community-driven launches, and even meme-based games. With tools like smart accounts and easy onboarding, it's no wonder Nick's video shows folks hyped about "the easiest builder platform on chain." If you're into memes, keep an eye on Base—India's builders are about to unleash a wave of viral tokens that could rival Solana's meme mania.
Community Reactions and What's Next
The tweet sparked positive vibes across X, with replies like "Base is home for everyone" and "Builders everywhere. This is what global adoption actually looks like." It's clear the community sees India as a key player in Base's global expansion.
