The Base team just dropped an exciting update on X about their upcoming event, BaseCamp 2025. If you're into meme tokens or building on the Base blockchain, this is something you won't want to miss. Held from September 14-16, 2025, in the scenic town of Stowe, Vermont, BaseCamp promises a mix of insightful sessions, hands-on activities, and plenty of networking opportunities. The thread highlights everything from deep dives into coining mechanics – think launching and managing meme coins – to tips on creating viral content that can skyrocket your project's visibility.
Base, the Layer-2 blockchain built on Ethereum by Coinbase, has become a hotspot for meme token launches thanks to its low fees and seamless integration with the Superchain. Events like BaseCamp are designed to bring together builders, creators, and investors to share knowledge and spark new ideas. The announcement thread, posted by @base, teases "tons of based sessions" covering the future of Base, onchain payments, and more.
