If you missed the buzz from Base Camp, the hub for all things building on Base, you're in luck. The team at Base just dropped the final batch of recorded Builder Workshops on X, straight from their core team. These sessions are gold for anyone in the blockchain space, especially if you're into meme tokens. Base has become a hotspot for meme coin launches thanks to its low fees and vibrant community, and these talks offer practical tips to level up your projects. Let's break them down one by one.

Exploring the Base Builder Network and Its Potential as a Network State

Kicking things off is Xen Baynham-Herd, Head of Growth at Base, diving into the Builder Network. Think of a network state as a digital-first community that operates like a country but online – with its own economy, governance, and citizens, all powered by blockchain tech. Xen explores whether Base's ecosystem could evolve into one.

From the session, he outlines components like shared values, digital infrastructure, and real-world meetups. He highlights examples like "Based India," where Indian builders are leading with onchain initiatives, from gaming to talent networks. For meme token creators, this means your project could be more than just a fun coin; it could foster a loyal community that scales into something bigger, like a decentralized nation. Imagine meme communities organizing events or even governance votes onchain.

DeFi Deals: Launching and Growing Liquidity on Base

Next up, hosted by John Locke, this panel features Devin Goodkin and Bryan Colligan sharing DeFi strategies. DeFi, or decentralized finance, is all about financial services without banks – think lending, trading, and liquidity pools on the blockchain.

They discuss unsustainable incentives in token launches and how to bootstrap liquidity effectively. Key takeaways include using tools like GammaSwap for efficient capital and creating product roadmaps that treat your token like a startup. They even touch on deal markets, comparing business models like asset corps vs. velocity corps.

For meme tokens, liquidity is king – it keeps prices stable and attracts traders. If you're planning a meme coin drop on Base, these tips could help you avoid common pitfalls and grow your market cap sustainably.

Let the Deals Flow: Onchain VC and Investment Landscape

Moderated by ConsbeeracyF, this discussion brings in heavy hitters like Maria Shen from Electric Capital, Jakub Rusiecki from 1kx, and Josh Cornelius plus ThatTallGuy from Seed Club. It's all about venture capital going onchain – funding projects directly via blockchain instead of traditional deals.

The panel covers trends in investments, from early-stage funding to community-driven models. They emphasize how onchain transparency changes the game for VCs and founders alike.

Meme tokens often start grassroots, but scaling might need capital. This session is a roadmap for pitching your meme project to investors or even structuring community raises. Base's ecosystem makes it easier with tools for token gated access and DAO funding.

Building AI Agents People Can't Stop Talking To

Wrapping up is Claude Haddad's workshop on creating addictive AI agents. AI agents are autonomous programs that interact like chatbots but smarter – handling tasks, conversations, or even games onchain.

Claude shares principles for building in the Base app, using examples like Squabble, Rocky, Nemo, and Byte. He stresses user-friendly interfaces, legacy platforms like XMPP, and product principles for engagement.

In the meme world, AI agents could revolutionize community management – think bots that meme-ify responses, run giveaways, or even trade tokens autonomously. If your meme token has a theme (like dogs or frogs), an AI agent could bring it to life, boosting virality.
