If you're deep into the world of meme tokens, you know that Base – Ethereum's speedy Layer 2 solution built by Coinbase – has become a hotspot for viral coins like Brett or Degen. But beyond the hype, there's real work happening to support the builders behind these projects. A recent thread from Derrick (@deriq_eth), who's leading Builder Activations for Base in Southern Africa, is lighting up X with a call to action that's all about turning applause into actual help.

Derrick's post quotes Xen (@XenBH), Head of Global Builders at Base, who drops a video manifesto on why this network matters. Xen breaks it down simply: Base is building a global, borderless economy on-chain, where founders, developers, creators, and even traders come together to grow products, services, and media. It's not just talk – Base generates millions in fees that get reinvested back into the ecosystem, making it self-sustaining and massive, with communities spanning the globe.

Why This Resonates for Meme Token Enthusiasts

Meme tokens thrive on community and quick innovation, but creators often struggle with funding and resources, especially in emerging markets. Derrick, filming from Ghana while attending events like EphAccra, captures this perfectly in his response video. He points out how his timeline is flooded with Base builders celebrating grants at the start of the month. "In Africa, this matters because we don't just need congratulations or likes. We need real help," he says. And guess what? It's happening – real support reaching the people who need it.

For meme token builders, this could be a game-changer. Base's low fees and fast transactions already make it ideal for launching fun, community-driven tokens. Now, with grants from the Builder Network, devs can scale their ideas without bootstrapping everything themselves. Imagine getting funded to build the next big meme coin that combines humor with real utility, like social apps or NFT integrations on Base.

How the Builder Network Works

From Xen's breakdown:

• Mission-Driven: Focused on innovation, creativity, and freedom in a new global economy.
• Diverse Roles: Includes founders starting startups, developers coding away, creators making media, organizers building communities, and investors fueling growth.
• Self-Sustaining: Millions in fees from Base and its apps get plowed back in.
• Global Reach: Active in countries worldwide, with millions already transacting on the chain.
• Part of a Bigger Movement: Tied to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others rebuilding society with tech.

Derrick echoes this by urging folks to "Build on BASE, and you will be rewarded." He's spot-on – the network isn't about empty praise; it's about tangible support.
