The article discusses the launch of the Degen Chain and its impact on the Memecoin ecosystem. Degen was first launched on the Base chain as a memecoin and quickly attracted attention with its unique incentive mechanism and meme culture. Subsequently, through cooperation with Syndicate, Degen launched Layer 3-Degen Chain based on the Base chain, having greatly improved its market valuation and technical support. Degen Chain is built using Arbitrum Orbit. It uses Base chain as the settlement layer and AnyTrust to provide data support. The Degen case demonstrates the transformation of memecoin into an important force in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, but it will take time to verify whether it can break the dilemma of meme chain’s single ecosystem.
