There’s nothing like a good meme to take a mental break from SEC rulings and rumblings of potential conflicts around the globe. I have to admit, when I first started my DeFi journey a few years ago, I was 100% focused on utility. I treated memes like a joke – the next pump and dump or rug pull waiting to happen. I did not factor in how much strong communities could impact the success of a token. Even after watching dog, cat and frog tokens rise, I took the cautious approach, never aping in.
To date, CATERPILLAR token has been one the most successful meme coins in my portfolio, but it’s still early for the 120 day old project. Seeing it’s early run inspired me to look around and find upstart projects to support, thus, $JODY.
Jody the Joke
Like CATERPILLAR, I’m jumping into $JODY from the artistic and creative side. On occasion a token idea gets tossed my way and I run with it. The $JODY concept started as a joke, but soon grew into a real token concept. To understand, you have to know what the term “Jody” refers to.
Jody, aka “Mr. Steal Your Girl” is an infamous character from military lore and old school rhythm and blues. While you’re away serving your country or working nonstop, Jody swoops in to take your girl. I know…it’s kind of sketchy if you think about it. This sleazeball comes in and takes what’s yours, ruining what you’re working so hard for. Well, the developers of $JODY token are putting a spin on the narrative. They aim to take neglected holders from projects who’ve discounted the little guy or use unscrupulous tactics to lure investors in only to use them as exit liquidity.
Why Base Chain?
The fact that Jody is releasing on Base Chain is sort of a double entendre… Jody on Base, as in on a military base while soldiers are away. Base Chain is currently one of the hottest lanes for new meme coins, with Based $BRETT leading the way. In Base Chain, $JODY gets the popularity of Ethereum without the fees and seats itself with a well-known crypto powerhouse – Coinbase.
Wen $JODY?
Jody will be stealth launching on UniSwap in the next 7-21 days with a token supply of 69,000,000. There are no taxes, but 5% of the supply will be reserved for the advisory team (TBD), 4% for future exchange listings, and 1% for promos and giveaways. According the jodyonbase.com, advisory tokens will be vested, LP locked, and the token contract renounced. The site also displays a holder ranking system that could possibly turn into something more in the future. Lastly, the “Love Quest” (roadmap) breaks down what the token is hoping to accomplish in each phase.
Seeing the success of CATERPILLAR, my advice has been that $JODY adopt a similar community approach where key members from within the community step up to provide guidance. For example, I am not the developer of CATERPILLAR token, but I play a key role in responding to the demands of the community. A community-first approach might benefit $JODY.

Making A Splash
$JODY is a meme-able character, but can the token gain ground in a meme landscape dominated by dog tokens? With the right eyes, $JODY may be able to ride a hot streak all the way into the high multimillion dollar market cap range. I find the character funny, but that’s no slap at those who’ve been scarred by infidelity. It’s just a meme. Run with it!
