Degen started as a tight-knit community on Farcaster and grew organically into one of the top meme coins on Base. It began with a simple idea: tip anyone who joins the fun. This created an economy, which turned into a movement where the community runs the show: from the logo and the lore, to the building and funding of ambitious ideas. Over one million Degens empower each other with their generosity, creativity, and ability to get things done.
