Memecoin Vs. Utility Token: Where Does
Based Eggman Fit?
The world of cryptocurrency is now continuing to grow at a pace unlike anything
we have seen before with countless tokens fighting for capital and buzz each day
within this crowded space.
These two leading types of crypto assets are memecoins and utility tokens. Each
type of tokens has a unique function in the ecosystem which is targeting a
different type of investor and community with an upland project like Based
Eggman is starting to generate attention and buzz by understanding how these
two incompatible types of token can be different can help the trader, investor or
crypto investors.
What Are MemeCoins?
Memecoins are cryptocurrencies which are developed from jokes, memes and
other aspects of popular internet culture. These tokens largely don’t set out to
revolutionise technology or solve major problems in blockchain technology. The
real value of memecoins lies in the strength of the community and their to go
viral, the most notable examples are DOGECOIN and Shiba Inu which started
out as humorous commentaries on crypto culture and virality yet those memes
took them to market caps in the billions through viral memes, social media trends
and celebrity endorsements.
The most recent cases of memecoins have little to no real world utility as they
are typically disconnected from functioning blockchain performs or any real or
practical utility in which memecoins are typically based on pure speculation and
sentiment which means that the price can go up on a trending coin along with the
virality of the meme, then go up again just as /quickly once interest goes down.
With that availability comes a high risk and high reward investing strategy that
often brings about extreme unpredictable exhilaration for the investing
community just as quickly as it can end.
Characteristics of MemeCoin
Built on memes and goes viral social media trends
Communities that are strong enough for the ecosystems to operate like a fan
club!
Low barrier to entry, especially attractive to retail investors
Extremely volatile and risky market, and
Little to no utility and real world connection to any services
What Are Utility Tokens?
In contrast to crypto currencies the utility tokens are digital assets which serve a
specific purpose as part of an ecosystem on blockchains. These assets do not
rely on memes or viral moments to gain traction instead they are embedded in an
ecosystem to provide real services and to be able to utilise the services whether
that is to pay transaction fees, use of applications or be part of governance
among the community in which it includes Ethereum (ETH), Polygon (MATIC) or
Binance Coin (BNB) can all be classified as utility tokens.
The value of utility tokens is typically tied to the demand for the services provided
by the platform, for example if you are using Ethereum, you need ETH to interact
with Ethereum ecosystem whether that is for transactions, DeFi or minting NFTs.
In the rise of DeFi and NFT mania the demand for Ethereum services increases
the demand for ETH and potentially increases the price where the people tend to
invest in utility tokens for a long term buy and hold opportunities when compared
to meme or shit coins driven by momentum.
Key Features of Utility Tokens
Provide functional access to blockchain applications or services
Provide long term value through real world usage and real world adoption
Often have development team and an active community behind this asset
Most utility tokens are curated outside of meme tokens and are less volatile
Utility tokens have become more compliance friendly and regulatory aligned as
Web3 becomes more matured
How Does Based Eggman ($GGs) fit into this spectrum of Memecoins vs Utility
tokens?
Based Eggman is relatively new crypto project which takes from both side of the
coin as they are learning very heavily right now into the memecoin side of the
spectrum but they also have stated future goals of creating a real world use case
particularly around the intersection of gaming and social finance (Social-Fi).
Image title
Currently, $GGs is in a presale phase of the project and they are aggressively
marketing the presale project with phrases like “Presale LIVE NOW”, flashy
graphics and a heavy emphasis on a meme theme behind the branding.
They are offering immediately realizable benefits of presale purchase with an
easy example is the “GGS-30 presale incentive which offers an immediate 30%
return bonus which is to encourage people to invest rapidly and easily. The
presale marketing of Based Eggman utilises classic memecoin tactics to build
Hype and FOMO and community and scale a new substitute token.
The team behind Based Eggman has stated plans that go further more than just
into a meme as they are developing what they term a hybrid ecosystem that sits
at the intersection of gaming platform and Social-Fi where it provides a potential
pathway for $GGs to evolve into a legitimate utility token with real use cases by
moving away from memes toward building a functioning blockchain.
So Is Based Eggman a Memecoin or a Utility token?
Based Eggman ($GGs) is a memecoin with a mission to take over the world of
crypto gaming in which all built on the Base blockchain. It also combines gaming
infrastructure with social platforms and on-chain gameplay to create a fresh,
engaging Web3 experience. Whether you are playing games, sharing memes or
earning GGs which is everything feeds into a culture of fun, profit and community
on Base.
The GGs Ecosystem unifies gaming, streaming and trading into one powerful
Web3 hub, while it starts on Base where it’s expanding across Solana (SOL),
Binance Smart Chain (BSC), and Ethereum (ETH) with GGs Social Gaming by
players can jump into fast-paced games earn GGs tokens and seamlessly
connect with the based Eggman universe.

The Future of Based Eggman
At the end of the day, whether Based Eggman continues as a memecoin or flips
to a utility token depends on one thing: Execution. The crypto space is filled with
many projects that made big claims but also did not deliver a functioning product.
If Based Eggman has the ability to deliver their roadmap of a cohesive gaming
and Social-FI experience with real user demand where the $GGs may transition
to a useful utility token.
At this stage presale and community efforts are solely built upon the level of
meme adoption as they are orchestrated entirely to create traction and rapid
adoption but if this project transitions that momentum into real, usable,
functioning tech, it has the ability to attract not only meme investors but also
utility holders that are focused on long term value.
Conclusion
Based Eggman is at present more of a memecoin with a very much hype in
community and early driven rewards. However it’s focused on gaming and
Social-Fi which could clearly lead to a utility token. For right now it is designed as
a high-risk high reward. If the team performs over time, today’s meme could
provide tomorrow’s real value.
