            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*sqQ8OS_iMj13WShwrW-m2g.png" /></figure><p>Last year, in November, the Mochi community moved to a more sustainable future. This move meant migrating to a new contract, a new liquidity pool, and implementing swap fees to build up a project treasury.</p><p>Since then, the funding from the contract fees has enabled Mochi to improve in many areas, such as branding, marketing, liquidity and development.</p><p>Our wildly successful Mochimons NFT launch campaign and full rebrand could not have been done without the help of contract fees and additional funding. It has also enabled us to strengthen our liquidity, and we have bought back and added around $250k worth of $MOCHI and 100 ETH to LP.</p><p>Mochi’s treasury, or ‘marketing wallet,’ currently contains 227 ETH and 6.8b $MOCHI, amounting to <strong>$870,000 in ETH and $210,000 in $MOCHI</strong> at 03.06 prices. <a href="https://basescan.org/address/0x6401a5a5bB7340ffde5E06bAD117B99174b02B90">Link to the wallet on Basescan.</a></p><p>We believe we have established ourselves as a high-quality project in the space and have generated enough project runway to go taxless, promoting a better trading environment for traders and making MOCHI more competitive in the market.</p><h3>Moving from SushiSwap to UniSwap</h3><p>Last year, SushiSwap was the only major DEX on Base to offer V2 Liquidity Pools. Hence, Mochi stayed on SushiSwap. However, due to UniSwap’s recent addition of V2 LPs on Base, most coins are beginning to call it home, and most trading volume now occurs there.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*wqWOCrn1zk63IoUM2FV4TA.png" /><figcaption>Figure 1: UniSwap V3 (Base) Daily DEX Volume — Source: <a href="https://defillama.com/dexs/uniswap-v3">DefiLlama</a></figcaption></figure><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*DLZ8PxWzEil27CDTd45ruA.png" /><figcaption>Figure 2: SushiSwap V3 (Base) Daily DEX Volume — Source: <a href="https://defillama.com/dexs/sushiswap-v3">DefiLlama</a></figcaption></figure><p>Figures 1 and 2 show charts of the daily volume metrics for UniSwap V3 and SushiSwap V3 from January 1st to April 30th, 2024. From this data, one can see that SushiSwap’s V3 volume metrics fall significantly short of UniSwap’s V3 volume metrics, with SushiSwap’s volume ranging between 2–5% of UniSwap’s volume on average.</p><p>Unfortunately, Mochi has never had a substantial liquidity pool on UniSwap, meaning the only DEX where trading was viable (meaning it did not lose 5%+ to slippage) was SushiSwap.</p><p>We suspect this deterred several potential investors over the last few months—specifically, those mainly familiar with UniSwap as the leading DEX. According to <a href="https://dappradar.com/">dAppRadar</a>, UniSwap V3 had 722k Unique Active Wallets on Base in April, compared to SushiSwap’s 99k.</p><p>Our goal at Mochi is to make participating (in this case, owning the token) as inclusive and easy as possible for most people, and the metrics point towards moving to UniSwap to achieve this.</p><p>Another reason for the move to UniSwap is their quicker implementation of Coinbase’s new Smart Wallet and the ability to use Magic Spend on UniSwap. Magic Spend enables Coinbase users to spend their Coinbase balance onchain, and in this case, buy $MOCHI directly with their ETH on their Coinbase accounts.</p><p>We will instruct and educate people on using Coinbase’s Smart Wallet to buy $MOCHI directly with their Coinbase balance. Thus, we need to ensure that the DEX on which Mochi primarily trades has this integration from day one.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*cJitC9xNKkUUbwxk" /></figure><h3>Moving to V3 Liquidity and removing Contract Fees.</h3><p>To promote a better trading environment for traders, and to stay competitive in the market, Mochi will be going 0% tax.</p><h4>The Process of Moving Mochi to UniSwap V3 and 0% fees.</h4><p><strong><em>Note:</em></strong> As a holder of $MOCHI on Base and/or MEXC, you do not need to perform any action for this move. The move will be fully seamless. There will be no airdrop, no migration dApp, no token sending, and no action whatsoever. Please be aware of potential scams and fake groups around this migration and always double-check information with our official socials and communication channels.</p><p>To make the move, we must move our main liquidity pool from SushiSwap to UniSwap. This means unlocking the main Sushi V2 pool, removing it, and then adding it to the UniSwap V3 pool.</p><p>To unlock the Sushi V2 liquidity pool, we must first call the function <em>triggerLiquidityWithdrawal </em>on the <a href="https://basescan.org/address/0x5e47a6d972dfb7e560b7ef2d4dc33cdd0e575c20">smart contract</a> in which the liquidity is locked. Only after this function is called can we remove the liquidity 7 days later.</p><p>The <em>triggerLiquidityWithdrawal</em> function will be called as soon as this article is published. <a href="https://basescan.org/tx/0xac81253caed0b58b6ecedd86c020580b6361ddb37094c22c52f133ff81e807e7">See here.</a> This means the full move of our main liquidity pool to UniSwap will happen on <strong>June 10th </strong>at around<strong> 5 pm UTC.</strong></p><p>In the name of transparency, this article needed to be published to announce that we have called this function on the main pool’s locker contract. We have also locked the current UniSwap V3 pool ($300,000) to ensure that there is always a sizeable locked liquidity pool to facilitate trading. <a href="https://basescan.org/address/0x3bE0731410a386bEF8Cf00F582aE9E47d42AaDca">View that lock here.</a></p><p>Trading will not be halted at any time, and the move should only take a few minutes. To boost communication around the process and kick off a new era of taxless trading on MOCHI, there will be announcements and a Twitter Spaces around the time of the final move.</p><p>—</p><p>We’re excited about this move and believe it will benefit MOCHI hugely in the current market. With Onchain Summer on Base kicking off and 3 months of building and growth ahead of us, we’re setting ourselves up for success in the immediate future and boosting the potential and effect of our upcoming catalysts.</p><p>Should anyone have any questions about the move, we are always ready to assist you in our official Telegram channel.</p><p>Let’s finally make this move to 0% tax together and make as much noise as possible during Onchain Summer. As always, the cat is cute, the thesis is simple, and Onchain Summer is here.

We are ready to embark on a cute and exciting adventure together.</p><p>The last two weeks have been vibrant for Mochimons. We’ve seen success in our metrics but more notably in our community, as it has grown and formed into one that radiates and spreads positivity throughout Base and beyond. It’s turning into something more special than we could have hoped for and we’ve been busy planning the long-term mission to continue its success, putting the foundation in place to grow Mochi and Mochimons into a worldwide brand.</p><p>The community has fallen in love with these cute and colourful cats. Like the Japanese dessert they are named after, each Mochimon is filled with sweetness and joy and there’s just something about them that invokes our inner child and lets us escape from the stressors of life for a brief moment. From the thick outlines to the addictive colour palette to the varying expressions and personalities, each Mochimon stands out, and there’s a Mochimon for everyone.</p><p>We believe the potential for Mochimons is endless. Due to an art style that resonates globally, the inclusivity of the colours, the potential of the IP, and the opportunity in the positioning we find ourselves in.</p><h4>The purrfect positioning</h4><p>Already established as a top ecosystem project on the relatively new and rapidly growing BASE network, Mochimons is swept into the tail-wind of Coinbase’s push to bring the next billion users onchain. This unique positioning and timing gives the brand a huge boost, as we build in a supportive environment full of people focused on onboarding the masses into Web 3.0.</p><p>Our goal is to align with Base and Coinbase in this effort of mass adoption and play it through mass appeal. Base is making it <a href="https://x.com/base/status/1744794492207817181?s=20">“dead simple”</a> to onramp and we can leverage innovations and improvements like these to bridge the gap between Web 2.0 and Web 3.0, onboarding potentially millions in the future through a cute IP that attracts just about anyone.</p><h4>$MOCHI, the ecosystem, and scaling.</h4><p>Mochimons came after its token, which was already thriving. $MOCHI token is a large part of the success of Mochimons and enables us to scale. The substantial revenue and treasury from the token allow us to go down this path in the first place, without spreading ourselves too thin and leaving a lot to be desired. Formed over the last 5 months, our community is already devoted and committed to the long-term vision of the Mochi ecosystem, which accelerates the growth of Mochimons even further.</p><p>Mochimons builds the brand around Mochi but will be incorporated into our ecosystem at every step of the way. Combining the token and the NFT opens development possibilities for us, and for some parts of our roadmap, combining is the key part.</p><p>The team has grown since mint and we have added passionate and talented individuals to our Mochimons team such as:</p><ul><li>Brand Strategist</li><li>Social Media Growth Manager</li><li>Artists prominent in the Cute IP space</li><li>Partnership and Collab Managers</li><li>Chief Marketing Officer</li><li>Advisors</li></ul><p>Our artists consist of:<br>- Mingo<br>- Cinnamunch<br>- FroggyCyborg<br>We are in the process of hiring animators.</p><h4>The map</h4><p>While not a ‘roadmap’ that goes into specifics and reveals everything, this map hopes to open the imagination to the adventure that lies ahead. We believe in keeping it cute, fun, and full of surprises, and that’s exactly what we’ll do.</p><p>The lore for Mochimons will unravel with developments and each main item will have its own story, theme, and all the cute content to portray it. As we scale, more maps will be released, and the list will expand. For now, we’ve set some attainable goals for the future, and the story will unravel before your eyes.</p><p>Here are some things you can look forward to:</p><ul><li>Tamamochi — Onchain game</li><li>Mochindise (merchandise)</li><li>Cute Collaborations with other IPs</li><li>Major Partnerships</li><li>Onchain giving and enabling</li><li>Onchain Media Innovations</li><li>Active social reward mechanisms</li><li>Animated Stories</li><li>M… M…</li><li>Sponsorship Deals</li><li>Retail partnerships</li><li>Mochimons Asia launch</li><li>RetroPGF 4</li><li>CuteDAO</li><li>Strategic BASE onboarding campaigns</li><li>Strategic BASE ecosystem collaborations</li><li>IRL presence and events</li></ul><p>For this map, we will have a space with Lil Kache and members of our core team, such as Mingo, Naka, and Cinnamunch, to discuss how cute wins in 2024 and beyond, and how Mochimons is building upon a proven playbook and leveraging its positioning on BASE to accelerate the process.</p><p>As always, the cat is cute, the thesis is simple, and the positioning is purrfect.</p><p>Over and meowt.</p><p><strong>Mochimons and $MOCHI Official Links</strong></p><p><strong>Mochimons X: </strong><a href="https://twitter.com/MochimonsNFT">https://twitter.com/MochimonsNFT</a><strong><br>MOCHI X:</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/mochi_token">https://twitter.com/mochi_token</a><br><strong>Website:</strong> <a href="https://mochithecatcoin.com/">https://mochithecatcoin.com/</a><br><strong>Opensea:</strong> <a href="https://opensea.io/collection/mochimonsbase">https://opensea.io/collection/mochimonsbase</a><br><strong>Telegram:</strong> <a href="https://t.co/4y24PzPYu6">https://t.me/mochientry</a><br><strong>Discord: </strong><a href="https://discord.gg/mochibase">https://discord.gg/mochibase</a><strong><br>$MOCHI Contract Address:</strong> 0xf6e932ca12afa26665dc4dde7e27be02a7c02e50</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=0c1712899763" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*AjbyVeMR-p3a3sLsBWBwDA.png" /></figure><p>With only a day left before the Mochimons mint, here’s a quick run-through on the mint and a step-by-step guide on how to mint!</p><p><strong>WL Round (17:00 UTC 23/01/24)</strong></p><p>The first phase of the mint will be for Whitelisted addresses. Users who received a whitelist will have a 4 hour window to Mint an NFT. In this phase, users are not required to hold any $MOCHI. Each wallet which has been whitelisted will be eligible to mint 1 NFT. <br>There will be a total of 533 NFTs allocated to the whitelist round. Each NFT costs 0.015 ETH for this round.</p><p><strong>Holders Round (21:00 UTC 23/01/24)</strong></p><p>Once the WL phase has concluded, the next phase will be for $MOCHI holders. To be eligible for this round, your wallet address must hold a minimum of 10M $MOCHI tokens. Ths round will last for 24 hours or until it sells out. There will be a total of 2714 NFTs allocated to this round.</p><p>For this phase users are able to mint 1 NFT per 10 million $MOCHI tokens the wallet holds. With a max mint of 5 NFTs (50 million $MOCHI)</p><p>Your $MOCHI holdings will not be spent. They will be used to check live eligibility. There will be no snapshot taken meaning that you could even buy 50M $MOCHI during the holders phase and still be eligible to mint 5 NFTs. (Providing that the mint hasn’t sold out by then). Each NFT costs 0.015 ETH for this round.</p><p><strong>Public Round (21:00 UTC 24/01/24)</strong></p><p>The public round will only commence if there are any unminted NFTs from the first two rounds. For this round, wallets don’t need to be whitelisted <em>or</em> hold $MOCHI tokens. Mint price for this round is 0.025 ETH per NFT.</p><p><strong><em>Mint price is in ETH on Base Network. See end of article on how to bridge to Base.</em></strong></p><h3>How to Mint in a few simple steps:</h3><h4><strong>Firstly, make sure you are ready for the mint:</strong></h4><p>Ensure you are eligible for the either of the first two phases by having a:</p><ul><li>A wallet address that is whitelisted</li></ul><p>or</p><ul><li>A wallet address that holds more than 10 million $MOCHI tokens</li></ul><p>Ensure you have enough ETH in your wallet to cover the Mint Price of 0.015 ETH + gas.<br>We recommend having at least 0.0165 ETH in your wallet to mint in the WL and Holders phase. For public round we recommend 0.0265.</p><p>If you are eligible, familiarize yourself with the schedule to know in which phase you are able to mint:</p><p>17:00 (UTC) 23/01 — <strong>Whitelist Phase</strong><br>21:00 (UTC) 23/01 — <strong>$MOCHI Holders Phase<br></strong>21:00 (UTC) 24/01<strong> — Public Round</strong></p><h4>How to Mint:</h4><ol><li>Navigate to the minting platform</li><li>Connect your wallet. <br>If you are on mobile, paste the URL of the minting site into your in-app wallet browser, and connect your wallet.</li><li>Wait for the phase you are taking in part in to start</li><li>Once the phase has started, it’s time to mint!</li></ol><p><strong>For the WL Phase:</strong></p><p>If you are whitelisted, you are able to mint 1 Mochimon NFT per wallet.</p><p><strong>For the Holders Phase:</strong></p><p>If you hold:<br>10m $MOCHI you are eligible to mint at least 1 Mochimon NFT.<br>20m $MOCHI you are eligible to mint at least 2 Mochimon NFTs<br>30m $MOCHI you are eligible to mint at least 3 Mochimon NFTs<br>40m $MOCHI you are eligible to mint at least 4 Mochimon NFTs<br>50m $MOCHI you are eligible to mint the max mint of 5 Mochimon NFTs</p><p>6. Input the amount of NFTs you wish to mint and press ‘Mint’</p><p>7. Confirm the mint transaction for 0.015 ETH (per NFT) in your wallet.</p><p>8. Wait for the transaction to be confirmed onchain</p><p>9. Once the transaction is successful, you will receive the NFT(s) straight to your wallet.</p><p>10. You now own a unique part of the cutest collection on Base!</p><p>11. Reveals of the NFTs happen on Wednesday 24/01 at 17:00 UTC.</p><h3><strong>How do I come to Base network?

Mint price is paid in ETH on Base network.</em></p><p><strong>If you are neither:</strong><br>Anyone is eligible to mint 1 Mochimon per wallet during the public phase, should there be any remaining NFTs unminted after both phases.</p><p><strong>7. Which wallet should I use for minting?</strong></p><p>If you are whitelisted, the minting wallet is the wallet address you have submitted to us or indirectly through our launching partners.</p><p>If you are a $MOCHI holder, the minting wallet is the wallet address in which you hold enough tokens to be eligible.<br>Your $MOCHI holdings will be checked in real-time during the mint. No snapshot(s) will be taken.</p><p><strong>8. Where will the mint take place?</strong></p><p>The mint will take place on our official domain. The link to the minting platform will be announced on our official Twitter accounts <a href="https://twitter.com/mochi_token">https://twitter.com/mochi_token</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/MochimonsNFT">https://twitter.com/MochimonsNFT</a>.</p><p>Do not fall victim to fake links and always verify information on our official social platforms, or by asking in our official Telegram <a href="https://t.me/mochientry">https://t.me/mochientry</a>.</p><h3><strong>Mint Procedure Run-through</strong></h3><p><em>For even more clarity!</em></p><p>The first phase will be the <strong>whitelist phase </strong>with<strong> 533 NFTs allocated </strong>and live for <strong>4 hours. </strong>The whitelist is 12.5% oversubscribed due to high demand for spots, so it will operate on a <strong>first come first serve</strong> basis.<br>1 whitelist spot gives eligibility to mint 1 Mochimon NFT.</p><p>If there should be any remaining NFTs not minted from this phase during the 4 hours it is live, they will transfer over to the next phase.</p><p>—</p><p>The second phase is the <strong>$MOCHI holder phase </strong>with<strong> 2714 NFTs allocated </strong>and live for <strong>24 hours.<br></strong>This will also operate on a <strong>first come first serve</strong> basis due to the very limited supply of the collection.</p><p>To promote healthy supply distribution and give the majority the chance to mint, 10,000,000 $MOCHI tokens are required to be eligible for at least 1 Mochimon NFT mint.</p><p>For every additional 10,000,000 $MOCHI tokens held, an additional 1 Mochimon NFT can be minted. There is a maximum mint of 5 Mochimon NFTs per wallet.</p><p>—</p><p>If there should be any remaining NFTs not minted from the prior phase, the mint will move to the public phase.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*-vJk1LfOBMxoWVHQ6bTtHQ.png" /><figcaption>A small snippet of Tamamochi’s promotional material.</figcaption></figure><p>Since day one, Mochi has aimed to align itself with Base’s mission of building products that will help bring the next 1 billion people onchain. In a lot of ways, we’ve already done that, and our efforts have not gone unnoticed by Coinbase and the Base team, but there is a long road ahead of us and so much more growth to achieve.</p><p>Being the cutest cat in crypto, the goal is not just building on Base, but also growing the Mochi community and realising the idea that 2024 is the year the first cat coin cracks the top 100.</p><p>With so much potential ahead for this Coinbase Cat, 2024 is Mochi’s time to shine, and the stars might really align.</p><h3>Setting ourselves up for success.</h3><p><em>Fast forward to 2024. The bull-run is actually here. Coinbase has onboarded 300M new people to Base and counting. Mochi’s hard work and community growth in the bear market paid off and now many of those new people are flocking in and joining Mochi. </em><br>Yes it’s hypothetical, maybe even <em>too</em> hopeful for some, but this is a scenario that many people in the Mochi community have thought about, and it’s certainly not impossible.</p><p>The only way to find out if its possible however, is to do everything we can to set ourselves up for a future like that actually playing out. This means becoming financially sustainable now so that we can build our products, grow in numbers and get $MOCHI listed on top exchanges for months to come. If we do that, Mochi will be healthy and ready for the masses that are coming onchain, and hit the ground running even before it even happens.</p><p>This is why, after internal discussions and positive feedback from our largest holders and investors, we have decided that it’s best for Mochi to migrate, and set ourselves up for success.</p><h3>Mochi is Migrating</h3><p>To promote project sustainability and growth during this market, Mochi will be migrating to a V2 liquidity pool and implementing fees to generate revenue for the project. There will be a 3% fee on buys and sells and the fee <strong>will be lowered </strong>as volume picks up on Base.</p><p>Every cent generated by the new fees will go to growing the project with:</p><h4><strong>Exchange Listings</strong></h4><p>Before, we had to tell CEXs to hold off for a while… With fees, we can give them the green light sooner. We have market-makers already, meaning listing prices are all we need to budget for.</p><h4><strong>Building Developments and Running Initiatives</strong></h4><p>The fun stuff, our fees will go to real tangible things that promote Mochi.</p><p>Tamamochi, Mochindise, Mochimons, our Charity Initiatives, and all of our other developments planned for Base will see a boost in productivity, meaning more contribution to Base, and more catalysts. A couple of our developments will generate their own revenue, leading to the lowering of swap fees like before mentioned.</p><h4><strong>+ Many more things such as:</strong></h4><ul><li>Community Enhancements</li><li>Partnerships</li><li>Hiring</li><li>Branding and Graphic Design</li></ul><p>We feel this move helps Mochi unlock a lot of potential and open up a lot of possibilities for growth that were otherwise hindered by 0% tax. Introducing fees also indirectly reduces the swing trading and arbitrage bots from our current chart that quite frankly subdue the price.</p><p>We want to work together with the community on this and are open to all and any feedback. If you didn’t already know, we migrated once before, at the beginning of Base, and it was extremely successful. We listed on MEXC ten days later with a new found confidence, and excitement was everywhere.</p><p>We’ve built 4 utilities. Won a Coinbase grant. Were the first Base project to list on a Top 20 CEX. Onboarded huge KOLs such as bitlord and bullbnb. <em>All while 0% tax.</em> This is a testament to our team’s commitment and connections. <strong>The migration means we can allow the project to scale more, while still generating a sustainable runway into 2024.</strong></p><h3><strong>The technicals — How will the migration look like?</strong></h3><p>It’s very simple and some of you will hardly even know it happened. Mochi will continue as normal, just with added fire-power. <strong>Here are the specifics of the new token:</strong></p><p><strong>DEX:</strong> SushiSwap on Base</p><p><strong>Liquidity:</strong> V2</p><p><strong>Fees:</strong> 3% Buy — 3% Sell</p><p><strong>New Modifiable Functions: </strong><em>SetFees</em>: There is a hardcoded cap on fees, so they cannot be set to be above 3%, but they can be lowered. <em>Whitelist: </em>To exclude certain addresses from fees such as CEXs and market-makers.</p><p><em>*The above function names are not final and just examples. The new contract will be deployed and open source for everyone to see at least 24 hours before the migration happens.</em></p><h4>Here’s how the migration will happen.</h4><p>In order for us to migrate, our current liquidity must be unlocked and moved over to the new contract. To unlock our liquidity, a <em>trigger </em>function must be called on our LP locker contract. However, only 7 days after the function is called, is liquidity actually unlocked.</p><p>The plan is to call this function on Monday 6th of November, so that the liquidity is unlocked on <strong>Monday 13th of November.</strong> This is the current planned date for migration.</p><p>Once liquidity is unlocked, we can perform the actual migration. You don’t need to do anything, we’ll migrate you across.</p><ol><li>A snapshot of all holdings is taken and stored.</li><li>Immediately after the snapshot is taken, the unlocked liquidity is taken out of the old pool. Trading for $MOCHI is halted for a moment here.</li><li>We airdrop every holder their tokens on the new contract.</li><li>Liquidity is added to the new contract and $MOCHI is trading again.</li><li>The new liquidity is then locked again.</li></ol><p>Everyone will have the exact dollar and token amount they had when the snapshot was taken, and it will all be tradable on SushiSwap like normal. The migration is then complete.</p><p><strong>Finalisation step: </strong>Our admin team work their socks off to update socials, CMC, CG, TG filters, DexTools, DexScreener, Avedex and everywhere else.<br>DexTools should be updated within an hour like our last migration. CMC and CG are request based, so they’ll get to us when they get to us, but we’ll fast-track CG which your wallets pull the price and logo from!</p><p>We expect that within 24 hours it should all be updated.</p><h4><strong>Mochis on MEXC, You will be taken care of too.</strong></h4><p>MEXC are working with us on this migration. If you hold $MOCHI on MEXC, you will be migrated by the CEX and don’t need to do anything. It may take slightly longer than our migration on DEX, but nonetheless, you will be moved over the new contract.</p><p><em>Important to note: Mochi will still be tradable with no fees on MEXC. So if you wish, you always have the option to buy and sell there.</em></p><h4>Anyone providing to the V3 LP currently</h4><p>Sushi V3 MOCHI/ETH providers, you will need to remove your liquidity from the current pool before we take the snapshot. You will be reminded to do this multiple times before we take the snapshot.</p><h3>Final Note</h3><p>The team is excited for this move, and feel it gives Mochi a new boost of confidence while also making us competitive in the market and ensuring that we can continue to sustain growth for the months ahead. We want to thank our whales for showing support and providing feedback on this move and thank our community for being open minded and trusting us to make the right decision for the future of Mochi.</p><p>Before we even call any function, we will be hearing your feedback and answering all your questions. We will create clarity around the whole thing with proper announcements on all social platforms, but even the people who might miss the news of this migration (due to being away, or taking a break) will be taken care of and will receive their tokens 1:1 in the new contract. You, the holder, really don’t need to do anything, just sit back and let us handle this move.</p><p>$MOCHI’s 0% days are numbered, but the future of Mochi is becoming more secure. It’s business as usual for Mochi and we are not standing still until the migration happens. The team looks forward to your feedback and making this as clear and seamless as possible for everyone, and if you have any questions, we’re always in the Telegram <a href="https://t.me/mochientry">https://t.me/mochientry</a> ready to assist you.</p><p>Thank you for trusting us. Let’s do this together.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=77c7486121f5" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>$MOCHI — Roadmap</h3><p>OnchainSummer has come to an end on Base. But the road has just started for $MOCHI. Already establishing itself as the $MOCHI on Base forever, Mochi has a huge platform to spring off of for future developments. Our community, team and reach mean we can launch developments that can influence Base and also cause us to become a useful vehicle to drive adoption of the chain and bring the masses onchain like Coinbase plans to.</p><p>We hope with some of the developments outlined in the roadmap, we can help coinbase achieve their goals and potentially, Mochi will become part of the collaboration to make it all happen. Coinbase x Mochi is the goal.</p><h3><strong>THE ROADMAP</strong></h3><p>Starting with some items we’ve already achieved… Here are the key items and developments coming for $MOCHI in 2023 and early 2024. <em>Subject to change, the Mochi team may add, edit or remove any item.</em></p><h3>✅ Launched on Base</h3><blockquote>We launched on Base on August 3rd. 6 days before the official chain launch.</blockquote><h3>✅ Built on Base</h3><blockquote>On day 2, $MOCHI dropped its first utility onchain, <a href="https://twitter.com/Mochi_Inspector">Mochi Inspector Bot</a>. 7 days later, we dropped our second utility; <a href="https://twitter.com/mochi_token/status/1690180657652097025">Mochi New Tokens</a> .
