Toshi

Toshi (TOSHI) is a memecoin and utility token built on the Base blockchain, a layer-2 Ethereum solution developed by Coinbase. Named after Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, and Brian Armstrong's cat, Toshi serves as a mascot for the Base ecosystem. Initially launched as a memecoin, Toshi has evolved into a protocol that integrates decentralised finance (DeFi) utilities and community-driven governance through the MEOW DAO. The token’s ecosystem is designed to provide tools, services, and governance mechanisms for users building within the Base blockchain.

Toshi has several uses within its ecosystem, including:

1. *Decentralised Tools and Utilities*: - *Toshi Tools*: A suite of open-source, permissionless tools for developers, including token lockers, liquidity lockers, multisender tools, and token launchpads. - *Toshi Mart*: A social launch and trading platform for memecoins on Base, streamlining token deployment and trading. 2. *NFT Integration*: - *NFToshis 2.0*: A collection of 5,000 algorithmically generated NFTs that provide unique traits and represent membership within the Toshi community. NFT holders may gain governance voting rights within the MEOW DAO.

3. *Decentralised Governance*: - *MEOW DAO*: A decentralised autonomous organisation enabling TOSHI token holders to vote on project decisions such as tax structures, treasury allocations, and ecosystem development.

4. *Revenue Generation*: Tools and services generate revenue for the ecosystem through partnerships, token accumulation, and liquidity provision. Previously, transaction taxes supported these efforts, though taxes were removed through a community vote.

5. *Community Engagement*: - The Toshi Council initiative empowers community members to lead projects, fostering decentralised innovation and collaboration within the ecosystem.
