Toshi: Beyond the Meme – The Base L2 Token Revolution

Toshi, the memecoin that started as a tribute to Coinbase co-founder Brian Armstrong’s cat, has stormed into the realm of serious DeFi on Base. From its humble origins as a playful homage, Toshi has become a force to be reckoned with in the rapidly evolving crypto landscape. 2023 witnessed its launch on Base, a Layer-2 network by Coinbase, sparking initial skepticism as just another memecoin. Fast forward to February 2025, and Toshi stands out as one of the most active tokens on Base, showcasing a strong user base and real-world utility.
