what's Russell?

Russell is a meme token deployed on the Base blockchain, featuring Russell the Akita as its mascot. It operates within a decentralized framework, utilizing smart contracts for token supply management and transparent transactions. The project emphasizes community engagement through social media, particularly X (formerly Twitter), fostering a narrative around its mascot as a protector tied to Coinbase lore. As a community-driven meme coin, Russell enables participation in DeFi applications on Base. Its appeal stems from viral storytelling and grassroots momentum, with no centralized control over core functions post-launch, promoting fair access for holders.
