Recently, Base's TVL (Total Value Locked) has strongly broken through 4 billion US dollars, surpassing ARB and OP, becoming the new leader in the Layer 2 track. This fully reflects the hotness of its ecosystem, especially with significant achievements in the two popular fields of MEME and AI Agent!
Clanker (an AI Agent skilled in creating popular memes) is leading Farcaster users to Base. It can easily deploy ERC-20 tokens on Farcaster while providing liquidity pools and smart locking features, and has already created multiple memecoins exceeding 10M, currently exploring the combination of Desci + MEME to reshape academic trust from virtual to reality.
Virtuals (three years of sharpening a sword, deeply cultivating products unnoticed, one day the market knows) has entered the GameFi space, committed to driving Web3's mass adoption through products. Its ecosystem product line is rich and complete, typically including digital IP Luna, the agency economy platform Sekoia, and GMAE growing AI NPCs. In this process, Virtuals has also completed a stunning transformation from 10M to 1B.
Clanker and Virtuals are taking two completely different paths: the former is idealistic, the latter is materialistic. This is essentially a collision between the dissemination of Crypto culture and product innovation. Which path do you think will be viable in the future? Feel free to discuss in the comments.
