{"id":"toshi","title":"Toshi","content":"**Toshi** is a community-driven [memecoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/memecoins) project residing on the [Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base) Layer-2 [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain). [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-zy1vx92h4)[\\[5\\]](#cite-id-fUdrOHOrrs) It aims to be the premier memecoin on the [Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base) network, leveraging its brand and utility to attract users to the onchain ecosystem. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-zy1vx92h4)\n\n## Overview\n\nThe name Toshi pays homage to the CEO of [Coinbase](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinbase) - [Brian Armstrong’s](https://iq.wiki/wiki/brian-armstrong) cat, which was named after [Satoshi Nakamoto](https://iq.wiki/wiki/satoshi-nakamoto), the pseudonymous creator of [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin). [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-zy1vx92h4)[\\[5\\]](#cite-id-fUdrOHOrrs) The project serves as the face and mascot of the [Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base) [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain). [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-zy1vx92h4) The connection to [Coinbase](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinbase) runs deeper, as the [Coinbase](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinbase) Wallet was originally named Toshi before being rebranded. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-zy1vx92h4)\n\nFrom its origins as a memecoin, Toshi has evolved with the goal of becoming an essential project on [Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base), developing various utilities to support its community and the broader ecosystem. [\\[5\\]](#cite-id-fUdrOHOrrs)\n\n## Market History\n\nTOSHI's market activity saw a significant increase on September 17, 2024, following listing announcements from major South Korean exchanges [Upbit](https://iq.wiki/wiki/upbit) and [Bithumb](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bithumb). [\\[6\\]](#cite-id-wG0jo3139f)[\\[7\\]](#cite-id-D3Bd6gNYsH)[\\[9\\]](#cite-id-cga8zyVW9g)[\\[10\\]](#cite-id-lzSBJmvG1a)\n\nThe token's price reached an all-time high on January 26, 2025, reaching approximately $0.0022-$0.0025. [\\[13\\]](#cite-id-6CgPVp8iXC1KAYVl)[\\[14\\]](#cite-id-jjz7iAfQF9A5USQp) This surge was largely attributed to its addition to the [Coinbase](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinbase) listing roadmap, which generated significant market interest. [\\[13\\]](#cite-id-6CgPVp8iXC1KAYVl) The project continued to gain visibility with a listing on [Binance.US](https://iq.wiki/wiki/binance-us) on August 7, 2025. [\\[13\\]](#cite-id-6CgPVp8iXC1KAYVl) Following its peak in early 2025, the token entered a bearish trend that extended into 2026. [\\[14\\]](#cite-id-jjz7iAfQF9A5USQp)\n\n## Ecosystem\n\nToshi has expanded beyond a simple memecoin to include several platforms and initiatives designed to provide utility and engage its community. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-zy1vx92h4)\n\n### Toshi Mart\n\nToshi Mart is a social launchpad and trading platform built on the [Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base) network. It is designed to simplify the process of launching new [memecoins](https://iq.wiki/wiki/memecoins), offering a \"1-click\" solution for creators. It positions itself as the premier memecoin launchpad within the [Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base) ecosystem. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-zy1vx92h4)\n\n### MEOW DAO\n\nTo foster decentralized governance, the project introduced the [MEOW](https://iq.wiki/wiki/meow) DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization). This allows holders of the TOSHI token to participate in the project's decision-making process through voting. Each token represents one vote, empowering the community to guide the future direction of Toshi and its ecosystem. The transition to a DAO model is intended to ensure that Toshi remains a community-led initiative. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-zy1vx92h4)\n\nThe project outlined a comprehensive plan for progressively decentralizing governance, structured in four strategic phases. This evolution is supported by a DAO [Foundation](https://iq.wiki/wiki/foundation), established to nurture the Toshi ecosystem while operating under the DAO's governance framework. [\\[11\\]](#cite-id-NvlnwAzneR)\n\nThe four-step decentralization process is as follows: [\\[11\\]](#cite-id-NvlnwAzneR)\n\n1. **Initial Proposal Phase:** The leadership team introduces proposals, and token holders have the final say through voting, with no veto power from the team.\n2. **Council to Team Proposals:** The Toshi Council internally votes on ideas to suggest to the team. The team then decides if these proposals should proceed to a DAO vote, where the token holders' decision is final.\n3. **Empowering Community Voices:** Community members can propose their own initiatives. The team reviews these to ensure alignment with the project's goals. Approved proposals are put to a DAO vote, with the community's decision being respected, except in cases where a proposal could cause significant harm.\n4. **Full Community Governance:** In the final phase, the community independently proposes and votes on initiatives. The team steps back from governance, and the [Foundation](https://iq.wiki/wiki/foundation) is available to assist with execution.\n\nThe team is also in the process of selecting a suitable DAO voting platform, considering options like existing platforms or developing a custom solution to accommodate both token and NFT holder voting. The full transition to decentralization is a measured process expected to take a year or more. [\\[11\\]](#cite-id-NvlnwAzneR)\n\n### NFTOSHIS\n\nToshi has launched two non-fungible token (NFT) collections. The original NFTOSHIS collection consists of 3,000 unique NFTs that were introduced as a community project on [Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base). [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-zy1vx92h4)\n\nFollowing this, the project released NFToshis 2.0, a completely new collection of 5,000 unique NFTs. This second collection features a visual overhaul and is designed to align with the project's rebranding efforts. The NFToshis 2.0 collection is available on the MagicEden marketplace. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-zy1vx92h4)\n\n### Toshi Council\n\nOn February 4, 2024, the Toshi team introduced the Toshi Council. The Toshi Council is an initiative inviting community members to lead and innovate within the Toshi ecosystem, granting autonomy and a budget for impactful projects. [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-ij239bqqkl)\n\nIt is open to trusted contributors, including non-moderators, and it aims for collaborative growth and tangible contributions, with potential compensation for significant achievements. Supported by the core team, the Council encourages diverse leadership and ensures initiatives resonate with Toshi’s goals, inviting members to shape its future actively. [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-ij239bqqkl)\n\n### Partnerships\n\nIn September 2025, Toshi announced a partnership with [Coinbase](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinbase) One. The collaboration featured an exclusive, soulbound Toshi NFT mint for eligible [Coinbase](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinbase) One members. [\\[12\\]](#cite-id-Q8OzS739G8)[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-zy1vx92h4)\n\n## Token and Trading\n\n### Contract Details\n\nIn October 2023, Toshi migrated to a new contract on [SushiSwap](https://iq.wiki/wiki/sushiswap) with its tax capped at 3%. [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-0gnnzdl0n68) The token exists on both the [Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base) and BNB Smart Chain (BSC) networks. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-zy1vx92h4)\n\n* **Base Contract:** `0xAC1Bd2486aAf3B5C0fc3Fd868558b082a531B2B4`\n* **BSC Contract:** `0x6a2608Dabe09bc1128EEC7275B92DFB939D5Db3f`\n\n> \"The $TOSHI Migration was a success!CA: 0xac1bd2486aaf3b5c0fc3fd868558b082a531b2b4Trading is now live on @SushiSwap v2 with 3% tax. Over 95% LP was migrated from Sushi v3 (All the LP Supply owned by the project). All holders were airdropped 1:1 their previous holdings\". - the Toshi team tweeted [\\[8\\]](#cite-id-jCWi0fm0RF)\n\n### Tokenomics\n\nAs of March 2026, Toshi has a maximum supply of approximately 420.69 billion tokens, with nearly all of it in circulation. [\\[13\\]](#cite-id-6CgPVp8iXC1KAYVl)[\\[14\\]](#cite-id-jjz7iAfQF9A5USQp)\n\n### Exchange Listings\n\nThe TOSHI token is available for trading on both decentralized and centralized exchanges, with listings on over 50 platforms. [\\[14\\]](#cite-id-jjz7iAfQF9A5USQp) It can be traded on decentralized exchanges like [SushiSwap](https://iq.wiki/wiki/sushiswap) and Uniswap within the [Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base) network.
