Basic Dog Meme operates $DOG, described as the first meme coin on the Base network. The project launched in July 2023 with a public airdrop, liquidity pools, and farming through Aerodrome. Its website promotes community engagement through social channels and meme creation, and outlines Basic Meme Chain, a planned Base L3 intended to host meme-focused tools and dApps such as Meme-o-Drome and Meme Factory.
