Based Eggman ($GGs), a Web3 gaming and Social-Fi hub on the Base network, has crossed $316,000 raised in its presale and entered Stage 4 at $0.013516 per token. This milestone signals growing retail interest beyond the initial launch phase.
The presale offers a 50% bonus (code BASED-50), reducing the effective entry price to approximately $0.0072 per token. Staking rewards of up to 77% APY are active during the presale. Over 40 million $GGs tokens have been sold across all stages.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs are driving fresh institutional capital into the crypto market. In May 2026, BTC ETFs recorded $600 million in inflows after a $1.2 billion first quarter, led by IBIT. Ethereum ETFs outperformed Bitcoin for the first time in 2026 with a 10-day inflow streak in April, averaging $187 million weekly and $7.7 million in daily inflows.
ETF capital is spilling over into early-stage projects on Layer 2 networks like Base, where Based Eggman operates. The project's utility includes SEGA-inspired play-to-earn arcade games, a streaming platform for creator monetization, a trading bot with on-chain signals, and token-gated beta tests for indie developers, all powered by $GGs. The smart contract has been audited by leading blockchain security firms.
Pepeto, another presale project, raised $9.6 million but is no longer accepting new entries, making Based Eggman one of the few active high-profile presales in 2026.
