Jesse Pollak, the visionary behind Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 network built by Coinbase, is heading to Singapore and extending an open invitation to creators across Asia. In a recent tweet, he expressed excitement about meeting creators with large audiences in countries like Singapore, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, China, and other Asian nations to collaborate on innovative projects. His goal? To "bring the world onchain," accelerating the adoption of blockchain technology in everyday creative endeavors.
For those new to the term, "onchain" simply means activities and assets that live directly on the blockchain—think decentralized apps, NFTs, and yes, meme tokens. Base has become a hotbed for meme coins, thanks to its low fees, fast transactions, and seamless integration with Ethereum. Popular memes like Brett and Toshi have thrived here, drawing in communities and driving viral hype.
The tweet caught the attention of the official Base Korea account, @daehan_base, which quickly amplified the message to Korean creators. In their response, they urged, "Korean creators visiting Token, be sure to meet @jessepollak! @base for everyone." (Translated from Korean.) This highlights the growing interest in Base within the Korean crypto scene, where meme tokens inspired by K-pop, gaming, and internet culture could explode.
Why does this matter for meme enthusiasts? Asian creators bring unique flavors to the table—imagine meme tokens blending anime aesthetics from Japan, viral challenges from Vietnam, or idol-inspired communities from Korea. Collaborating with Pollak could lead to new tools, grants, or partnerships that make launching these on Base easier than ever. It's a prime opportunity for blockchain practitioners to tap into cross-cultural trends and build the next big thing.
Replies to the thread echo the enthusiasm. One user tagged @magonia_B, perhaps hinting at a specific creator or project, while another proclaimed in Korean, "Base is the future." With over 300 likes on Pollak's original post and growing engagement, this could signal a wave of Asian-led innovation on Base.
If you're a creator in the region or just following meme token trends, keep an eye on updates from Singapore. Moves like this are what propel platforms like Base forward, making blockchain accessible and fun for all.
