Overview

The very first meme on Base. Perhaps the very first community project deployed on Base. Deployed on July 13, 2023, $DOG was deployed mere hours after the network was opened up to developers. Basic Dog Meme's initial mission was to onboard users to the nascent network by offering a "Just for Fun" airdrop to anyone that bridged ETH to base and requested some $DOG. Over 1000 addresses were onboarded to Base in the first 48 hours by Basic Dog Meme, providing the substantial bulk of newly active wallets on the first day. Since then, Basic Dog Meme has: - Pioneered MemeFi by being the first Meme coin with a gauge on Aerodrome - Rallied a community of thousands of enthusiasts from multiple block chains and backgrounds to Base - Become an ambassador of the arts by becoming a patron to dozens of NFT artists who love the color blue - Was the focus of one of the first community initiatives to create a meme-coin driven L3 on Base, perhaps serving as the originator of that idea within the base community. An idea that was later executed and expanded upon by multiple other meme coin communities
