**MemeBoxToken (MBOX)** operates on the Ethereum blockchain, leveraging its robust and secure infrastructure. Ethereum is chosen for its widespread adoption, mature ecosystem, and its support for smart contracts, which is crucial for the functionality and versatility of MBOX tokens.

Ethereum's proof-of-work (transitioning to proof-of-stake with Ethereum 2.0) consensus mechanism ensures network security and decentralization, making it an ideal platform for MBOX. Furthermore, the integration with Ethereum allows MBOX to benefit from interoperability with a wide range of decentralized applications (DApps), exchanges, and wallet services.
