Meme Insider
In the fast-paced world of blockchain and crypto, where memes meet millions and digital art turns into assets overnight, one tweet is making waves. Medusa, the self-proclaimed "numba 1 reply gal" and lead at SheFi, just announced she's dropping $500 to back creators building on Zora—but with a twist. She's zeroing in on the vibrant Base community, specifically those "baseposters" who blend humor, culture, and code into onchain magic.
If you've been following the crypto scene, you know Zora isn't just another NFT marketplace. It's a decentralized protocol on the Optimism stack (and now expanding across ecosystems like Base) that lets artists mint, collect, and remix digital works as programmable tokens. Think of it as the canvas for the web3 renaissance, where your meme could become the next viral token. Base, meanwhile, is Coinbase's Ethereum Layer 2 powerhouse—low fees, high speed, and a playground for everything from DeFi to dank memes. Together? They're a match made in decentralized heaven.
Medusa's call-to-action is simple yet revolutionary: If you're creating on Zora and part of the baseposting crew (you know, those folks churning out Base-themed memes, alpha drops, and cultural commentary on X), drop your Zora profile in the replies. She's reviewing submissions and investing directly—buying into the creators' work to amplify their reach. It's not charity; it's community capitalism at its finest, where one person's $500 sparks a chain reaction of innovation.
Shoutout to Kong from CreatorDAO for co-piloting this initiative, and a nod to Jesse Pollak, Base's builder #001, who's all in with his "we win together" vibe. Medusa even shared her own Zora handle—@medusaonchain—and tossed in an invite link for newcomers: zora.co/invite/medusaonchain. No excuses—jump in.
Why This Matters for Meme Tokens and Onchain Creators
At its core, this isn't just about $500; it's a microcosm of how web3 is democratizing funding. Traditional creators wait for grants or VC nods. Onchain? You mint, share, and let the community vote with their wallets. Medusa's move echoes the spirit of meme tokens like $PEPE or $DOGE, where grassroots hype turns underdogs into unicorns. But here, it's leveled up: Base's scalability means more creators can experiment without gas fee nightmares, and Zora's tools make remixing and collecting seamless.
For blockchain practitioners, this is gold. If you're dipping into meme tokens, watch how these investments could birth the next big cultural export. A baseposter minting satirical NFTs? That's prime meme token fodder—funny, shareable, and ripe for tokenization. Plus, with Base's ties to Coinbase, expect more institutional eyes on these grassroots gems.
Early Buzz: Who's Already in the Mix?
The replies are flooding in faster than a bull run. Standouts include:
- @basedsnipez: A certified baseposter dropping alpha via Telegram—expect memes with market insights.
- @airmarsss: "SPROTOPOSTING IS BASEPOSTING" says it all; pure Base energy.
- @Carolya_X: Lover of little things and big moments, bringing that Zora flair.

- @ScanQRBase: Pushing interactive QR codes with just 69 holders; utility meets creativity.
- @BurgersOnBase: Charity-driven, donating proceeds to feed kids—meme coins with a heart.
These aren't just profiles; they're entry points to ecosystems where meme tokens thrive. QRBase's $SCAN token is already trending on Zora, proving how quick these narratives can catch fire.
How to Get Involved and Level Up Your Onchain Game
Want in? Head to the original thread and reply with your Zora link. But beyond that, here's how to make the most of this wave:

- Join the Communities: Follow #Baseposting on X and hop into Zora's Discord. It's where the real alpha flows.
