Carlo On Base

Carlo On Base is a memecoin that launched on the Base chain in late April 2024. The project features a unique blue dog character known as a Psycho dog with a pink a**hole. Aiming to elevate the meme game, the project is dedicated to significantly enhancing the quality of memes by prioritizing their entertainment value.^[1]^[2]

On June 11th, The Team announced on its social media account that Jesse Pollak “Base Lead Dev” on BaseChain had grabbed himself a bag of $CARLO.^[3]

Overview

Carlo is an innovative memecoin launched in April 2024 by a team of highly skilled and professional individuals. It is the first content creation meme token on the Base blockchain, following a similar model to the successful Ponke on Solana, which has a market cap exceeding $200 million. The launch was conducted with a presale facilitated by the Oxbull launchpad.^[1]

Carlo distinguishes itself by focusing on building an entertainment brand from day one. The project's content centers around 2D-level animation featuring a dog named Carlo. The aim is to create an entertainment platform reminiscent of popular shows like Family Guy, South Park, and Rick and Morty, but with a strong Web2/Web3 community focus. The team is committed to producing high-quality, viral content that the community loves and eagerly anticipates. This approach involves building a universe centered around Carlo and exploring various creative avenues to flex this universe.^[4]
wiki A key aspect of Carlo's success lies in its strong, supportive community. The project actively engages with its community through various initiatives, including contests and giveaways. These efforts not only nurture a sense of belonging among community members but also give back to them, fostering a positive feedback loop of engagement and support. This engagement has propelled Carlo's growth from a 300K market cap to a 20 million market cap within two months of its launch, showcasing the power of community-driven projects in the crypto space.^[5]

Looking ahead, Carlo has ambitious plans to continue its growth trajectory, to reach a 1 billion market cap by eating more zeroes. This bold vision underscores the team's commitment to expanding Carlo's reach and impact in the ever-evolving crypto landscape.

The team announced that Hollywood actress Charlotte Riley, known for her role in Peaky Blinders will be joining them and voicing a new female character named Carlotta in upcoming episodes, further enriching the storyline.^[6]
wiki On May 9, 2024, $CARLO announced its partnership with ESM, an ultimate tournament platform that combines web2 and web3 gaming on Base.^[7]

On May 24, 2024, $CARLO was listed on Aerodrome, a central trading and liquidity marketplace on Base. They secured an incentivized pool, allowing community members to offer bribes to Aero voters in exchange for yield rewards on their LP farms. This approval is one of the most challenging steps within the Base ecosystem.^[8]

Since its launch in late April, Carlo has collaborated with over 10 high-end KOLs, including Travladd, Jake, Shmoo, Rodney, Steki.eth, Eunice D. Wong, OverDose, and many others.^[9]^[10]^[11]

Tokenomics

$CARLO was launched on the Base Chain with a maximum supply of 1 billion tokens, ensuring a finite number of tokens in circulation. This cap is intended to create scarcity and potential long-term value appreciation.^[12]

Unlike certain memecoins, $CARLO does not implement any transaction taxes at present, which could encourage trading but may have implications for the token's long-term value stability.

The tokenomics of Carlo on Base are designed to promote stability, incentivize holding, and encourage active participation in the community.

$CARLO tokens can be traded on a Decentralized exchange, Uniswap.^[13]

The decision to launch on Base Chain aligns with the project's goal of fostering innovation and creating a stable environment for growth.
