Jesse Pollak, the creator of Base, a layer-2 network affiliated with Coinbase, attributes the successful onboarding of thousands to the network largely to the influence of memes.
He asserts that memes will continue to play a pivotal role in attracting millions more users to the platform.
Since March, Base has seen a significant increase, tripling its total value locked, which indicates a growing interest and investment in the network.
During a memecoin hackathon held in New York on April 20, Pollak highlighted the importance of memes in the digital economy.
He expressed his enthusiasm for the proliferation of "based memes," which he believes will significantly contribute to integrating more people into the on-chain world.
Pollak's optimistic outlook on the role of memes encapsulates his vision for the future growth of Base, underlining the unconventional yet powerful means of community building and onboarding within the crypto space.
