Base, the Ethereum Layer 2 network developed by Coinbase, has been making waves in India over the past year. In a recent video post on X (formerly Twitter), Saumya Saxena, known as @Saxenasaheb, reflected on the milestones achieved while building the Base ecosystem in the country. For those unfamiliar, Base is an optimistic rollup that aims to make blockchain transactions faster and cheaper, serving as a hub for decentralized apps (dApps), including popular meme tokens.

A Year of Building and Innovation

Saxena kicked off the thread by listing some standout accomplishments:

• FBI as the Largest Builder Collective: The @callusfbi group has grown into the biggest builder community not just on Base but across the entire Ethereum network. Builder collectives like this bring together developers, creators, and entrepreneurs to collaborate on projects.

• Inspiring Fellowships: The FBI fellowships have sparked a trend of combining creators and builders in various programs, fostering innovative combos that drive new ideas.

• Virtual Events Boom: Through @BasedIndia, the Base Cafe now hosts over 10 events, providing virtual spaces for discussions and networking.

• dApp Explosion: More than 180 dApps are being built by Indian founders and builders on Base, showcasing the country's growing role in blockchain development.

• Rapid Success Stories: Projects like @noicedotso went from a Base hackathon entry to getting listed on Coinbase in just 100 days—a testament to the platform's support for quick scaling.

• Team Expansion: The Base team in India is growing, turning into a solid squad that's encouraging young builders to experiment with internet capital markets.

• Widespread Adoption: An impressive 95% of Indian projects are either built on Base or adding support for it, highlighting its dominance in the local scene.

These points underline how Base has become a go-to platform for Indian blockchain enthusiasts, especially in the meme token space where low fees and high speed are crucial for viral launches and trading.

Breaking the No-Meetup Streak

Despite all this virtual success, Saxena noted that the team has been "infamous" for skipping in-person events—no college tours or city meetups. But that's about to change. He posed the question: "I think it’s time to finally do a meetup. Should we do one?"

The response? A resounding yes from the community, with replies buzzing with excitement. Saxena followed up with a link to the event registration.

Details on the Upcoming Meetup

The event, titled "Base Around the World: Bangalore 🇮🇳," is set for October 5, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM at The Ritz-Carlton in Bangalore. It's part of a global series aimed at connecting builders, creators, and innovators to grow the onchain economy.
