Between mid-July and Base’s public introduction in August, more than 500 scam tokens, like BASEPEPE (BPEPE) and Baby Yoda (YODA), were deployed on the blockchain, as reported by Solidus Labs, Around 300 of these tokens enabled their creators to generate an unlimited number of coins, unbeknownst to Base users, significantly impacting the tokens’ values. Moreover, about 60 tokens prevented buyers from reselling them on exchanges. The scam tokens collectively generated approximately $3.7 million in trading volume and yielded around $2 million in profits, according to Solidus.
