April

<div class="insidebitcoins">
 Ethereum layer-two network Base reached a daily peak of $1.22 billion in trading volumes on March 30 amid a meme coin frenzy on the network.
 Trading volumes have dropped in the new week to average $970 million on April 1, according to Dune, but the increased activity on the network is making it an attractive destination for meme coins.

 Base has already locked in $1.47 billion worth of meme coins as its top two meme coins posted strong gains over the past week, according to CoinGecko.
 Sam Baseman Fraud, a new meme coin created on Base shortly after the sentencing of Sam Bankman-Fried, pumped by 35,000% before crashing.

 <h2 id="new-layer-three-network-drives-more-activity-into-base">New Layer-Three Network Drives More Activity into Base</h2>
 Degen Chain, a layer-three blockchain created atop the Base network, launched last week and is driving transaction activity on Base.
 Within four days, the layer-three hit nearly $100 million in transaction volumes. Over 2,300 tokens, mostly meme coins, have already launched on the network.
 <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
 Since its launch, it:
 – on boarded &gt;132k addresses – had over 4.15m completed txs – had 7.5k total contracts deployed (mostly rugs, only 290 verified) – had over 2300 tokens launched (mostly rugs)

 Despite the early success of Degen Chain, Polygon’s CEO, Marc Boiron, says&nbsp;layer-threes are diverting value from the Ethereum blockchain.
