<p>The recent memecoin mania on the Coinbase-supported network has partly fueled Base’s increase in active addresses. Many crypto investors have traded the popular meme coins as the overall volume rose significantly. At the start of April, the collective market capitalization of meme coins surged to $70 Billion.</p>
<p>Brett (BRETT) and Degen (DEGEN) are among the largest meme coins on Base, with respective market caps of $720 Million and $523 Million, according to CoinGecko, while Toshi (TOSHI) and Normie (NORMIE) are also highly traded meme coins on the network.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The base also has the largest 30-day transaction count at 53.1 million, more than 10 million clear of <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2024/03/09/what-is-arbiscan-and-how-does-it-support-arbitrum-operations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Arbitrum</a>‘s 41.2 million and Ethereum’s 37.9 million over the same timeframe, according to L2BEAT.&nbsp;</p>
