Base Chain Emerges as a Prominent Platform for Meme Coins
Since its launch, Base has been gaining increasing attention and may soon surpass Solana, which would greatly benefit the coins it hosts.
There are several reasons why this could happen. Base’s Ethereum layer-2 blockchain is expecting significant ecosystem developments, and its on-chain metrics are impressive.
Key developments include the Base Chain Smart Wallet and the ‘Magic Spend’ smart contract.
In terms of on-chain metrics, Base’s 24-hour trading volume has reached $125.47 million today, according to DeFiLlama.
At the start of the year, this figure was just $21.63 million.
Furthermore, Base’s total value locked (TVL) is currently at $1.508 billion, nearing its all-time high of $1.65 billion.
At the beginning of the year, TVL stood at $437 million, representing a massive 245% increase over four months.

On the other hand, Solana’s TVL has increased by 187%, reaching $4.02 billion compared to $1.4 billion at the beginning of the year.
Its 24-hour trading volume is currently at $598.93 million, compared to $545.88 million on January 1.
Aside from the discussions about Base potentially surpassing Solana, there are also debates about which chain is faster.

BONK Introduces Email Login and E-card Feature
Meme coin BONK has announced several developments this week.
Firstly, the project has partnered with TipLink, a lightweight wallet designed to simplify the transfer of digital assets by using a link.
BONK users can now log in using their email on BONKrewards and secure their coins.
Currently, there are over 3.28 trillion BONK locked on the platform.
According to TipLink’s documentation, a crypto user can create a TipLink and send it to anyone over any platform, such as text, Discord, email, etc.
“The amazing thing is, the link is the wallet,” it said.
TipLinks can hold SOL, SPL tokens (tokens operating on the Solana blockchain), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and semi-fungible tokens (SFTs).
Therefore, TipLink offers decentralization and self-custody without the need for seed phrases, key management, apps, or browser extensions, as stated by the project.
Additionally, BONK has launched BONKmark E-cards just in time for Mother’s Day.
Thanks to the collaboration with TipLink, users can now send BONK anywhere using only email and allow moms from all over the world to use their BONK.
BONK will guide recipients on how to send BONK to a CEX, convert it to fiat, or deposit it to BONKrewards.
The E-cards feature various designs for Mother’s Day, celebrations, and milestones.
