Hey folks, if you've been keeping an eye on the Base chain, you know it's been buzzing like a hive of meme-obsessed bees lately. Jesse Pollak, the OG builder behind Base, just dropped a tweet that's got everyone talking about how diverse and vibrant this ecosystem is becoming. In his words: "the diversity of the @base economy has been on display the last few days: $AVANT TGE delivering best in class perps $MIRROR TGE bringing TV onchain $FLOCK accelerating private AI training base is for everyone — and every day the economy grows more and more vibrant."
(Quick note: Jesse later corrected $AVANT to $AVNT—typos happen, even to blockchain pioneers!) As someone who's covered the wild world of crypto from CoinDesk days to now curating the meme token scene at Meme Insider, I love seeing Base step up as the go-to layer for everything from serious DeFi tools to cultural IP drops that feel straight out of a viral meme thread. These launches aren't just tech drops; they're injecting fresh energy into the meme token space, where community hype and real utility collide. Let's break it down, shall we?
First up, $AVNT from Avantis. This one's all about perpetual futures (perps, for the uninitiated—think endless trading contracts without expiration dates, perfect for those high-stakes plays). Avantis just had its Token Generation Event (TGE) and it's already making waves as Base's top perps DEX. With zero fees on losses, up to 500x leverage, and backing from heavy hitters like Base itself and Pantera Capital, it's no wonder traders are flocking here. The token's live on exchanges like Binance and Bybit, hovering around $0.34 with solid volume. For meme token fans, this is gold—imagine the viral pumps when degens start memeing about "zero-fee moon

shots" on Base. It's capital-efficient, integrates real-world assets (RWAs), and could be the Hyperliquid equivalent for our favorite L2 chain.
Then there's $MIRROR, the official token tied to the Netflix smash-hit Black Mirror. Yeah, you read that right—TV is going onchain! The TGE dropped on September 8, and it's not your average meme coin; this is a full-on licensed IP play backed by Animoca Brands, Solana, Avalanche, and Republic Crypto. With over 500,000 pre-launch signups and billions of views from the show, $MIRROR is turning fans into stakeholders. Holders get access to onchain rewards, quests, and even AI-powered perks through the "Smile Club" experience. It's like if your favorite dystopian memes became tradable assets—think reputation scores, exclusive drops, and community governance all wrapped in that signature Black Mirror satire. Listed on Binance Alpha and Aerodrome, this could spark a wave of entertainment tokens, blending meme culture with real media franchises. If you're into onchain culture, this is your entry to the future of tokenized TV.
Rounding out the trio is $FLOCK from FLock.io, a decentralized platform that's supercharging private AI training. No more relying on big tech overlords—FLock lets devs and data holders contribute to model training in a privacy-focused, composable way. It's been building quietly on Base since early 2025, with an Elite Trainer Program onboarding top ML talent. The recent momentum? It's accelerating how we build AI without the creepy surveillance vibes, and it's already listed on Coinbase. For the meme crowd, $FLOCK taps into the AI token hype that's been memeing its way through crypto Twitter—think community-driven "AI truth checkers" and viral fact-checking rewards. As Base's economy heats up, projects like this show how meme tokens can evolve into legit tools for tech innovation, rewarding holders with governance and staking perks.
What ties all this together? Base's low fees, Ethereum security, and Coinbase's seal of approval make it the ultimate playground for meme tokens and beyond. Jesse's tweet nails it: this chain is for everyone—degens chasing perps pumps, entertainment junkies memeing Black Mirror episodes, and AI builders training models in private. At Meme Insider, we're all about spotting these intersections where fun meets function, and right now, Base is the hottest spot for that. If you're not bridged over yet, what are you waiting for? The economy's growing more vibrant by the day, and the next meme moonshot could be hiding in one of these launches.
