# BOBR

> Builder-first crypto news, from the trenches. BOBR covers Base blockchain, markets, culture, and builder guides — informative, inclusive, and a little degen.

BOBR began as a community-driven memecoin on the Base blockchain. The token cycle ended, but the community refused to die. Today BOBR is a builder-focused news desk run by Shiloh (Based BOBR dev) and a handful of holdouts — covering crypto, DeFi, and on-chain culture across every chain.
