Toshi

There's a new cat in crypto town, and it's making waves on the Base L2 Network. Meet Toshi – a memecoin that started as a tribute to&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://www.coinbase.com">Coinbase</a> co-founder Brian Armstrong's cat but has grown into something much bigger.
<h2 dir="ltr" id="span-span-strong-cat-meme-to-full-scale-defi-platform-strong-span-span">Cat Meme to Full-Scale DeFi Platform</h2>
When Toshi launched in 2023 on Base, Coinbase's&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://bsc.news/post/what-is-ethereum-eth-how-it-works-explained">Ethereum</a> Layer-2 network, some wrote it off as just another&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://bsc.news/post/what-are-memecoins-guide-how-they-work-2025">memecoin</a>. But fast forward to February 2025, and Toshi's become one of the most actively traded tokens on Base.
The name's a clever nod to both Armstrong's pet and&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://bsc.news/post/what-is-bitcoin-how-it-works-mining-digital-gold-guide">Bitcoin</a> creator Satoshi Nakamoto. But don't let the cute origin story fool you – Toshi has become a serious player in the Base ecosystem.

<h2 dir="ltr" id="span-span-strong-token-distribution-and-supply-strong-span-span">Token Distribution and Supply</h2>
When it comes to token distribution, out of 542,569 holders, 21 addresses are holding more than 1% of the supply, and 14 addresses are holding between 0.5-1% of the supply. This indicates a relatively concentrated distribution among large holders (at least relative to some projects), though the project has a growing base of smaller holders as well.
Toshi has established itself as one of the most actively traded assets on Base. The project launched with a total supply of 420.69 billion tokens. The token saw significant momentum after its Coinbase listing&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://x.com/CoinbaseAssets/status/1882172902679658651">announcement</a> last month, though prices have adjusted since then.

<h2 dir="ltr" id="span-span-strong-toshi-s-real-world-tools-strong-span-span">Toshi's Real-World Tools</h2>
This is where Toshi gets interesting. While other memecoins are still trying to figure out their use case. What sets&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://www.toshithecat.com/">Toshi</a> apart from typical memecoins is its comprehensive suite of DeFi tools and services. The platform has developed several key components that provide practical utility to users:
<h3 dir="ltr" id="span-span-strong-toshi-mart-and-defi-infrastructure-strong-span-span">Toshi Mart and DeFi Infrastructure</h3>
The platform's cornerstone is&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://toshimart.xyz">Toshi Mart</a>, a specialized memecoin launchpad operating on the&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://www.base.org/">Base network</a>. This initiative helps new projects enter the market while maintaining quality standards and security measures.
<h3 dir="ltr" id="span-span-strong-advanced-defi-tools-suite-strong-span-span">Advanced DeFi Tools Suite</h3>
The&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://tools.toshithecat.com/">ToshiTools</a> collection includes several sophisticated features:
The Locker system provides secure token locking capabilities for standard, liquidity, and V3 tokens, offering investors concrete proof of project stability. The Multisender tool revolutionizes large-scale transactions, enabling efficient distribution to numerous addresses simultaneously. This proves particularly valuable for airdrops and token migrations.
The platform's Token Launcher democratizes and simplifies token creation, while the Launchpad facilitates secure fundraising opportunities, connecting promising projects with potential investors.
<h3 dir="ltr" id="span-span-strong-governance-and-community-participation-strong-span-span">Governance and Community Participation</h3>
Toshi is transitioning toward a decentralized autonomous organization structure through&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://medium.com/@ToshiBase/announcing-meow-dao-the-roadmap-for-toshis-governance-381d356225e6">MEOW DAO</a>. This evolution empowers community members to participate in governance decisions, ensuring the project's development aligns with user interests and market needs.
<h2 dir="ltr" id="span-span-strong-project-analysis-strong-span-span">Project Analysis</h2>
Toshi's strengths include successful Base Network integration, functional DeFi infrastructure, and sustained&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://x.com/Toshi_base">community</a> engagement. The platform's development tools have demonstrated practical utility in the ecosystem.
That said, the project faces standard market challenges, including price volatility and sector competition. As with any Base Network project, long-term success remains dependent on the network's continued growth and adoption.
<h2 dir="ltr" id="span-span-strong-development-outlook-strong-span-span">Development Outlook</h2>
The January 2025 Coinbase listing has contributed to increased market activity and visibility. While originally launching as a memecoin, Toshi has established legitimate utility through its DeFi toolset.
Future growth will depend on continued technical development and maintaining user adoption in an increasingly competitive market.
