About Degen
Degen (DEGEN) originated as the tipping token for the Farcaster decentralized social network's /degen channel, airdropped to active community members. Users could tip each other DEGEN for quality posts. The token became so popular it spawned its own L3 blockchain — Degen Chain — built on Base using Arbitrum Orbit technology. Degen Chain uses DEGEN as its native gas token. The project exemplifies how community tokens can evolve from simple tipping mechanics into full-stack blockchain infrastructure. DEGEN achieved hundreds of millions in market cap and represents the emerging 'social token' category where online community participation generates real tokenized value.
