Degen Chain is a layer-3 rollup that settles to Base and uses the Farcaster-native DEGEN token for tipping, gas, and community rewards.

What is Degen Chain?
Degen Chain is a layer-3 rollup built on the Arbitrum Orbit stack that settles to Base. It was launched by the Farcaster-native DEGEN community to extend their tipping token into a low-fee execution layer. DEGEN serves as the native gas token and is used for tips, community games, mini-apps, and payments inside the Farcaster ecosystem.
