In the fast-paced world of blockchain and social media, a recent tweet from Yar0x.eth (@yar0xslav) has sparked excitement among crypto enthusiasts and TikTok fans alike. Quoting Jesse Pollak, the builder behind Base—a layer-2 blockchain solution on Ethereum—Yar0x declared his commitment to turning Base into the ultimate hub for TikTokers.

For those new to the scene, Base is an Ethereum scaling network developed by Coinbase, designed to make transactions faster and cheaper while maintaining security. It's become a hotbed for meme coins and decentralized apps (dApps), attracting creators looking to monetize their content in innovative ways.

Yar0x, known for his work on "TikTok capital markets" through likes.fun, is pushing this vision forward. His bio highlights involvement with @likesdotfun, a platform that bridges TikTok creators with blockchain opportunities, and @zo_radar for spotting emerging trends. The tweet, "committed to making @base the home for tiktokers!", comes on the heels of likes.fun's launch, which has already seen impressive traction.

Just a day after launch, likes.fun reportedly covered about two-thirds of Farcaster's daily active users—around 20,000 people—in under 24 hours. Farcaster is another social protocol in Web3, similar to a decentralized Twitter. This rapid growth signals a shift, potentially bringing millions of TikTok users into the crypto fold through meme tokens like $LIKES.

$LIKES serves as the platform's core token, launched on Base with liquidity provider fees that benefit creators and early adopters. In its first day, it generated nearly $18,000 in rewards for TikTok creators and "hunters"—users who discover and promote viral content. Yar0x mentioned plans for buybacks and creative distribution methods to engage more TikTok bingers.

Jesse Pollak's quoted "🫡" emoji—a digital salute—seems to endorse this initiative, hinting at collaboration between Base's team and innovators like Yar0x. This could mean more tools and integrations for creators to tokenize their influence, turning likes and views into real economic value.

Why does this matter for meme tokens? Meme coins thrive on community and virality, and TikTok is a goldmine for that. By making Base the "home" for TikTokers, we're looking at a potential explosion in user-generated crypto projects. Imagine TikTok trends spawning instant meme tokens, with rewards flowing back to creators via blockchain.

As blockchain practitioners, keeping an eye on platforms like likes.fun can provide insights into how social media and crypto intersect. It's not just about trading; it's about building economies around content creation. If you're into meme tokens, check out $LIKES on Base— it might just be the next big runner.

The tweet has garnered over 2,700 views, with likes, reposts, and replies showing community support. Replies include enthusiastic nods like "amazing" from users, signaling growing interest.
