$FERRIS — The Crab That Runs Base
Base chain — Coinbase's L2, #2 in the world — just rewrote its entire stack in Rust. Every transaction, every block, every proof. All Rust.
Rust has one mascot: Ferris the crab. 🦀🔵
The #1 engineer behind that rewrite? Andreas Bigger, aka
Jesse Pollak got $JESSE. The crab that runs the chain got nothing.
$FERRIS is the mascot of the language Base is built on, tied to the engineer who built it, on the chain that just went all-in on Rust.
Solana has $WIF. Base has $FERRIS.
