Jesse Pollak's Onchain Vision: How Meme Tokens Are Leading the Charge in Blockchain's Global Shift

Jesse Pollak, the founder of Base—an Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain that's become a hotspot for meme tokens—dropped a mic-moment tweet that's got the crypto community buzzing. In his post, he states unequivocally: "in case I haven't been clear: I believe the whole world will move onchain and the folks who make the move early will both shape how our global economy works and have outsized success." This isn't just hype; it's a call to action for builders, creators, and yes, meme token enthusiasts.

For those new to the scene, "onchain" refers to activities and data that happen directly on a blockchain, like trading tokens, creating NFTs, or even social interactions, without relying on traditional off-chain systems. Base, built on Optimism's tech stack, makes this accessible and cheap, which is why it's exploded with meme coins—those fun, community-driven tokens often inspired by internet culture, animals, or viral trends.

Pollak's vision aligns perfectly with the meme token ecosystem. Meme tokens thrive on community engagement and rapid innovation, embodying the early-mover advantage he describes. On Base, projects like Brett or Degen have shown how quick adoption can lead to explosive growth. By moving onchain early, these communities aren't just playing the game; they're rewriting the rules of the global economy.

The tweet sparked immediate reactions, highlighting how meme creators are already heeding the call. One reply from @0xmetafox, promoting their Meta$Fox token on Base, echoes Pollak's sentiment: "We’re not waiting for the world to move onchain — we’re already here." They even shared a sleek graphic emphasizing sharp moves and outsized gains.

Another user, @CarlJohnsonCTO, referenced their $CJ token with a nod to early moves: "made the first move in 04’ now we takeover @base and make it out the hood." Accompanied by a gritty image, it captures the underdog spirit of meme tokens rising from niche communities to mainstream potential.

Even queries about specific memes like $WYAC (Weird Yay Cat?) popped up, showing how Pollak's words fuel the meme frenzy. In a follow-up reply to a question about what to do as an early beta user, Pollak advised: "if you're a creator: commit to posting quality content daily for the next 365 days; if you're a builder: build a miniapp and iterate for the next 365 days." This is golden advice for meme token teams—consistent content and iteration are what turn a joke into a juggernaut.

But what about resisters? Pollak draws a parallel to those who ignored the internet, implying they'll be left behind. In the meme world, this means traditional finance folks dismissing crypto as "just memes" might miss out on the next big wave.

At Meme Insider, we see this as a pivotal moment. Base's low fees and vibrant community make it the ideal playground for meme tokens to experiment and scale. If Pollak's right—and history with tech shifts suggests he is—getting involved now could mean shaping not just crypto, but the entire economy. Whether you're launching the next viral cat token or building onchain tools, the message is clear: move early, move onchain.
