In the fast-paced world of blockchain and meme tokens, staying connected to the right voices can make all the difference. That's where initiatives like Base Forces come in. Recently, Julie (@juliezize on X), a prominent builder in the Base ecosystem, kicked off this community-launched project to shine a light on the people driving the onchain economy forward. If you're into meme tokens on Base—an Ethereum Layer 2 chain known for its low fees and vibrant meme culture—this is something you'll want to follow.
What is Base Forces All About?
Base Forces aims to map out and amplify the contributors, creators, builders, and thought leaders who are expanding mindshare in the @base community. Julie started by curating an initial list of "forces" who consistently push narratives, educate newcomers, and onboard fresh communities to the onchain space. But here's the cool part: it's not a closed club. Julie's inviting everyone to nominate more members because, as she puts it, "BASE IS FOR EVERYONE."
This initiative couldn't come at a better time. With meme tokens exploding on Base—think viral projects that blend humor, culture, and crypto—highlighting these key players helps newcomers navigate the ecosystem. Whether you're a trader hunting the next big meme coin or a builder launching your own token, knowing these influencers can supercharge your journey.
