In brief Base token launchpad Zora accounted for more tokens created than Solana’s Pump.fun and LetsBonk on Monday.

To put that into perspective, Etherscan can only find 1.6 million ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum. “What’s crazy is that these AREN’T just bots launching tokens,” head of DeFi at Base, simply known as Johnny, tweeted. “These are USERS creating CONTENT.
