What if a memecoin’s identity came not just from its lore or artwork, but from what it trades against, and what it pays its holders? That’s the idea behind @BaseStonk, a launchpad on Base that gives creators two independent choices: the token’s pair and its payout basket. 1. The pair: Launch against USDC, ETH, cbBTC, or tokenized assets like Coinbase stock, NVIDIA, gold, and T-bills. Every token starts with real Uniswap v4 liquidity, no bonding curve or graduation event. 2. The basket: Select up to 10 weighted assets from 178 registered options. Trading fees are automatically converted into those assets and sent directly to holders. No claiming. No extra interface. BaseStonk started with a frustration: thousands of tokens that were essentially the same trade wearing different art. Its first version supported USDC and ETH pairs. When tokenized equities arrived on Base, the idea grew into stock- and RWA-paired tokens, followed by customizable dividend baskets. Key milestones: - 3,760 tokens launched - $40.4M in platform volume - 170,090 unique holders - $365K in creator revenue - $182K distributed to holders - 120M BSTONK burned Why Base? The founder, @Xipzer, puts it this way: “The assets we pair against live on Base. Tokenized equities and RWAs, the deepest retail stablecoin liquidity outside Ethereum, and Uniswap v4 hooks in production are all-in-one place. And @coinbase's on-ramp means a user can go from fiat to a stock-paired token without leaving the chain. Nothing we’ve built would work the same way anywhere else.” @BaseStonk is built on @base.
