Have you heard about the buzz surrounding Base India's Hyperthons? If you're into meme tokens or blockchain tech, this is something you won't want to miss. Base, the Ethereum Layer 2 network built by Coinbase, has been a hotspot for meme coins like Brett and Toshi. Now, their community in India is taking things up a notch with these high-energy coding events.
In a recent tweet from @BasedIndia, they shared: "Its 100% hype and 200% shipping Mini Apps. Hyperthons have taken over: - BLR ✅ - Delhi ✅ - Pune ✅ - Goa ✅ 50+ Mini Apps shipped already. 4 more cities to go - it's go time 🔥" Accompanied by a dynamic video showcasing developers in action, this post highlights the rapid pace of innovation happening right now.
Hyperthons are essentially speed-coding competitions where participants build mini apps on the Base blockchain. These aren't your typical hackathons; they're fast-paced tours across India, hitting nine cities in total during 2025. Mini apps are lightweight applications that integrate seamlessly into the Base ecosystem, allowing users to access them with just one click through the Base app's social graph. Think of them as quick, social, and always-on tools that can reach millions.
Why does this matter for meme tokens? Base has become a breeding ground for viral meme projects thanks to its low fees and high scalability. These mini apps could supercharge the meme ecosystem by enabling new ways to engage communities—like custom trading bots, meme generators, or social platforms tailored for token holders. With over 50 mini apps already deployed from just the first four cities (Bangalore, Delhi, Pune, and Goa), we're seeing a wave of creativity that could lead to the next big meme token utility.
For blockchain practitioners, this is a golden opportunity to level up. Events like Hyperthons provide hands-on experience with Base's tools, fostering a community of builders who are pushing the boundaries of what's possible in web3. If you're in India or following the scene, keep an eye on the remaining cities—expect more announcements soon.
The energy in the video is contagious: developers huddled over laptops, presenting ideas, and celebrating wins under banners like "Speed Coding Revolution." It's a reminder that behind every meme token's hype, there's real tech being built.

What Are Mini Apps on Base?
Mini apps are a fresh approach to app development, designed for today's internet—fast, social, and mobile-first. According to Base's official docs, they allow developers to tap into real-time analytics and grow off the platform's existing user base. For meme tokens, this could mean creating apps that gamify trading or build community-driven narratives.
The Impact on Meme Tokens
With Base hosting some of the hottest meme coins, these mini apps open doors for enhanced utility. Imagine a mini app that lets users mint custom memes as NFTs tied to a token, or one that facilitates community votes on token burns. The 50+ apps shipped so far are just the beginning, potentially sparking new trends in the meme market.
