Sebas, the Country Lead for Base in Argentina, just dropped an exciting announcement on X that's got the local crypto community buzzing. Base, the Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain built by Coinbase and known for its thriving meme token ecosystem, is hitting the road with a mini tour across Argentina. The goal? To spread the word about Base Batches 002, an incubation program designed to help builders turn their ideas into reality—perfect for anyone dreaming up the next big meme coin.
If you're new to Base, think of it as a faster, cheaper way to build and launch apps on Ethereum. It's become a hotspot for meme tokens like Brett or Degen because of its low fees and strong community support. Now, with Batches 002, Base is offering structured guidance, funding opportunities, and resources to accelerate projects from anywhere in the world.
The tour kicks off next week, starting in Colegiales, Buenos Aires, and making stops in Salta and La Plata. Sebas shared the details in a lively video thread, emphasizing how this is about bringing Base beyond Buenos Aires and fostering growth in other regions.
The Mini Tour Schedule
Here's the breakdown of the events:
Colegiales, Buenos Aires (Wednesday): Hosted at Crecimiento, this meetup starts at 6:30 PM. It's a great chance to learn about participating in Base Batches and network with like-minded builders. Sebas mentioned it feels like home, thanks to the support from Crecimiento. Sign up here: Luma Event.
Salta (Thursday): A full day of coworking in the beautiful city of Salta, which Sebas hasn't visited in years. Expect talks on the Batches program in the afternoon. Big shoutout to SaltaDevAr, Eze Estrada, and ArtuGrande for organizing. Register at: Luma Event.
La Plata (Friday): Wrapping up in La Plata, a city close to Sebas's heart from his younger days. Thanks to Nahueth, 0xmtnblanco, and CriptoLaPlata for putting it together. Join via: Luma Event.
These events are all about demystifying how to get involved in Base Batches. From the video, Sebas explains the pathway for builders—whether you're starting fresh or scaling an existing project—to access grants, workshops, and even potential ETH funding through Buildathons.
Why This Matters for Meme Token Enthusiasts
Meme tokens thrive on community and quick iteration, and Base has been a launchpad for many viral projects. Programs like Batches 002 address the "mid-builder trap," where promising ideas stall due to lack of support. By hosting these meetups, Base is democratizing access to Web3 tools, especially in emerging markets like Argentina, where crypto adoption is skyrocketing.
If you're in Argentina and into memes or blockchain, this is your invite to connect, learn, and maybe kickstart your own token. Follow Base Latam for more updates, and check out the original thread on X for the full vibe.
Events like these are key to building a robust knowledge base for blockchain practitioners, aligning perfectly with what we do here at Meme Insider—keeping you informed on the latest in meme tokens and beyond.
