DEGEN


What is DEGEN APP
DEGEN is the pioneering social layer and community meme coin of Base. Born from a meme, it has become a movement, a place where thousands gather daily to share, tip, and build together. Rooted in the iconic hat and the spirit of the internet, we’re building tools and spaces where our community can connect, create, and reward each other. What began as a meme is now growing into a lasting ecosystem.

Welcome to DEGEN
Our meme coin blends fun and finance, driven by community, powered by laughter, and aimed straight for the moon!
The Story Behind the Meme
Degen began in a Farcaster channel when the protocol was still young, rallying a community that transformed a meme into a movement. We made history as the first token from Base to be listed on Coinbase, a milestone that showcased the power of a community-led meme to break through into the mainstream. More than just fun, DEGEN became a catalyst: rewarding creators, funding builders, and onboarding early users into Farcaster and Base when both were just beginning their rise.
