HIGHER, CLANKER, LUM, ANON, and ghffb47yii2rteeyy10op.

This weekend, while browsing Twitter, I saw David Hoffman highlight what he believes are the best meme tokens currently on Base.

Great minds think alike, right? Because these are exactly the 5 similar tokens I see on Base right now. Why is that?

To be completely transparent, I currently hold some of these, particularly HIGHER, ANON, and ghffb47yii2rteeyy10op. But beyond my personal perspective, these tokens share some key timely themes:

• They are popular among advanced users on Farcaster.
• They are all at least indirectly related to artificial intelligence and meme coins.
• They are higher-risk contenders in Base as people increasingly seek new adventurous bets in L2.

That said, keep your wits about you. The trading volatility surrounding these smaller tokens can often spike or plummet sharply in a short time. Losing money in this space is inevitable.

However, these tokens are currently noteworthy for specific reasons. I believe they do have potential upside. At the very least, understanding them can help us better grasp what is exciting cryptocurrency traders right now.

Next, let’s take a look at why I think these 5 tokens stand out on Base.

1. HIGHER

The term "memecoin" suggests that the token is primarily driven by its meme DNA. That’s why I wouldn’t strictly classify HIGHER as a meme coin, but rather as a scene coin: its main driving force is as the native token of the Higher community scene on Base and Farcaster.

Even so, the token’s smooth code and the optimistic theme of "let’s go higher" indeed give it a shiny and timeless appeal at a fundamental memory level. But when you zoom in, you’ll find there’s more depth here than 99.9% of meme coin games. That’s why I wouldn’t be surprised to see it listed on major centralized exchanges (ahem, Coinbase) in the near future.

In simple terms, Higher is an emerging headless brand. I think it’s on par with Nouns DAO, just more amorphous and centered around the fungible token HIGHER rather than NFTs. The overall point is the same: trying cool experiments with a group of like-minded creatives. Going higher together.

There are signs that this is just the beginning of the mesmerizing AI curiosity that the Higher collective will generate in the coming years. I am personally bullish accordingly.

2. CLANKER

The Clanker account was created by Proxy Studio, allowing you to tag it through any Farcaster client with the token code, name, and featured image (optional) you need, and then Clanker AI will launch your liquidity pool on Base with Uniswap V3 liquidity for you.

As a result, Clanker has become very popular on Farcaster in recent weeks. So far, it has been a driver for some of the largest "fareconomic" token launches, and interest in it shows no signs of slowing down. People love how easy this bot is to use.

That said, CLANKER is the native token of Clanker, launched by Clanker, and it has been trading as an agent of the broader Clanker token ecosystem that has been thriving on Base and Farcaster recently.

If your argument is that this token launcher will only get bigger in the near future, then CLANKER is one of the main ways to join this journey.

3. LUM

I’ve already mentioned HIGHER and CLANKER above. The combination of these two hot projects has birthed Luminous (abbreviated as LUM), which is why early investors find this token appealing.

Long story short, recently, the advanced AI agent Aether prompted the Clanker token bot to create a brand new token. The result is $LUM.

So, it is not the official token of the Higher community. In short, LUM now acts as a trading agent for the excitement surrounding Aether, which has now become one of the largest Clanker tokens, currently second in market cap only to CLANKER.

Looking ahead, I think the main risk for LUM is market saturation. More AI agents will enter the crypto space, and their next experiments will be newer and more exciting.

4. ANON

The story of ANON has many touching parts, so let me break it down as simply as possible:

Supercast is an advanced client for Farcaster with a Super Anon account, allowing users to post anonymously; someone used this account to anonymously prompt the Clanker bot to create the ANON token.

Then there’s community building. Kartik deployed anoncast.org, a new independent privacy-preserving Farcaster client powered by zero-knowledge proofs. If you hold 5,000 ANON, you can use this platform to post anonymously on Farcaster.

While this use case seems simple, it is undeniably sleek, and it is one of the first zk-powered consumer crypto applications we see here. Even Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin is interested; he bought a small ANON bag, raised questions, and even made design suggestions.

Now, more and more people are rushing to use the application, but what is its long-term potential?

That remains to be seen, but there’s no doubt that Anoncast and ANON are currently capturing the imagination and attention of the Farcaster ecosystem. The bullish outlook is that Anoncast continues to iterate new features around ANON, making it an increasingly popular utility token on Base, which is certainly possible.

5. ghffb47yii2rteeyy10op

A dog in a tie asking Clanker for a meme coin is the idea behind this meme coin. This is Dadaism. Remember I mentioned above that meme coins are primarily driven by meme DNA? Therefore, ghffb47yii2rteeyy10op is pure memory. There’s nothing here but a silly and charming narrative, and these days that’s enough to garner some attention.

However, don’t harbor illusions: this token has only a few days of history at this point, and it could be cast aside and forgotten in a short time. This is the highest-risk token among the 5 mentioned in this article so far. But sometimes, crazy and incomprehensible things can survive and thrive under current market conditions, so if you’re looking for degen plays on Base, this is one of the latest contenders to consider.
