- Base was catching up to Solana in the memecoin market cap amid new launches.
- Base’s TVL nears $1.5 billion, lagging behind Solana’s $4.16 billion TVL.
Amidst the ongoing memecoin frenzy in the crypto sphere, one player that has garnered a lot of attention is the Ethereum [ETH] layer 2 blockchain, Base, incubated by Coinbase.
Base vs. Solana
In fact, despite so many attention-grabbing memecoins launching on Solana [SOL] lately, such as Mother Iggy (MOTHER), Daddy Tate (TATE), and political-themed tokens like Joe Boden (BODEN) and Doland Tremp (TREMP), Base seems to be outperforming Solana in the memecoin mania.
Following a market correction, several memecoins on Base are beginning to recover. This includes Brett (BRETT), Degen (Base) DEGEN, Basenji (BENJI), Higher (HIGHER), and many more.
According to CoinGecko, the Solana memecoin market cap stands at $6.49 billion today, reflecting a 7.8% decrease over the past 24 hours. In contrast, the Base memecoin market cap was $2.14 billion, showing a 7.8% increase in the same period.

Further supporting Base’s emerging dominance, DeFiLlama data indicated that its total value locked (TVL) was approaching an all-time high. At press time, its TVL was $1.5 billion, a significant rise from $391 million on 31st January.
However, Base still lags behind Solana, which boasts a TVL of $4.16 billion.
In conclusion, while Base has shown remarkable resilience, it still trails behind the Solana network.
