Recent On-Chain Review: No Clear Narrative Under U.S. Stock Market Pressure, Just Hype

Resumen

This article analyzes the current state of the Solana meme coin and community token ecosystem, highlighting a market caught between two dominant forces: attention-based PvP and a gradual return to community-centric projects. The first part explores the "Attention PvP" dynamic, where success is driven by celebrity endorsements, viral events, and speed. Examples include $JOTCHUA, which surged after its meme creator's social media activity, and $WORLDCUP, which outperformed a similar Base chain project ($PITCH) largely due to influencer support. The recent "pump.fun GO" feature, allowing bounty tasks for token promotion, is critiqued for fostering sensationalist and often negative stunts—like people getting token tickers tattooed on their bodies for rewards—reminiscent of old internet shock content. In contrast, the article points to a resurgence of organic, community-driven tokens that survive market volatility through strong holder bases and shared ideology, not just hype. Influencer Ansem is cited, arguing that durable meme coins rely on communities willing to endure losses and promote their core message daily. Examples given are older tokens like $neet (anti-work ethos), $troll, $buttcoin, and $triplet, which have maintained relative price stability. A prime example of this community-build model is the new project $KINS, the token for the browser-based MMORPG Kintara. Its success stems not from advanced graphics but from consistently delivering updates, fostering player t...

After the ETH mainnet gradually grew quiet, degens have returned to be active on Solana once again. Despite this, it's hard to say there is a clear main narrative for the activity on Solana. To summarize, it might be fitting to describe it as "oscillating between a return to community and attention PvP."

Attention PvP

Ever since Trump issued a token, the meme coin market has grown accustomed to the playbook of relying on celebrity endorsements, hot events, and competing on speed for a long time.

Everyone is used to it, so even with poor liquidity, people still follow this playbook to find opportunities, thus forming an inertia for this kind of strategy.

$JOTCHUA, a dog meme that became popular in Spanish and English-speaking circles in 2021. On January 24, 2021, Instagram user @_kingorange uploaded an inspirational poster featuring a crudely drawn dog picture with the text "JOTCHUA," which received over 29,000 likes within three months.

Its market cap once neared $9 million at its peak. The community has significant debates over whether this token is "organic," because its launch did not occur after the meme's creator @_kingorange claimed it, making it almost impossible to say the "claim" was the direct cause of the price surge.

Many players believe this token is another instance of "setting up a play," or attribute it to KOL Ansem sparking market speculation about his purchase being related to this token when he claimed on June 9th that he had returned to buying Solana meme coins for the first time in over a year.

The same concept, even the same ticker, but your coin just doesn't pump. $JOTCHUA on the ETH mainnet was deployed as early as December 2023, and has had consistent content and community, but it couldn't compete with getting the creator to click a few buttons and claim it.

A similar situation happened with the World Cup concept. $WORLDCUP on Solana, due to bonkguy's purchase and detailed analysis, saw its market cap surge from around $5 million to once break $12 million. Meanwhile, the World Cup concept project $PITCH on Base had fallen from a peak market cap of about $7 million to nearly $700,000.

Although $PITCH indeed has its own issues, mainly on the communication front. The project is not inactive, it keeps updating, but the dev rarely speaks up, and their X (Twitter) account got repeatedly suspended and still hasn't sorted out a new one. But admittedly, without any endorsements, similar concepts and playstyles lose out in the battle for attention.

The recent new feature from pump.fun, pump.fun GO, allows anyone to post paid bounty tasks on pump.fun.

This did attract mainstream media attention, but unfortunately, once again in a negative light reaching the masses.

$Bountywork, this token's market cap once approached $2.5 million at its peak. Its dev @ayushquantt's strategy is to continuously post new tasks on pump.fun, creating hype for this token.

He certainly succeeded—by offering a bounty of 40 SOL to have someone tattoo $bountywork on their forehead.

An Indian man actually got it tattooed, and strictly followed a typo the dev made in the description—missing an 'n', incorrectly writing the ticker as $boutywork.

Initially, his bounty application was rejected because the tattoo was missing the letter 'n', and the dev demanded he correct the tattoo. Then, someone launched a new token using the incorrect tattoo as the ticker, $boutywork.

Finally, the 40 SOL bounty reward was still given to him, and the creator revenue from the new token was also given to him, earning him a total of about $48,000.

Then, as the hype faded, $boutywork has essentially gone to zero. The dev of $Bountywork is still continuously posting new bounties trying to replicate this "success," for example, having someone eat 3 insects on camera while wearing a $Bountywork t-shirt.

There are quite a few tattoo-related tasks on pump.fun; some have received up to 200 SOL in return for tattooing their own face.

Honestly, this isn't much different from the days when big brothers on Kuaishou tipped people to eat raw eggs or gulp down white liquor...

The Return of Community

Let's continue the discussion around pump.fun's new feature. Almost all bounty tasks are related to generating attention-hype for specific tokens. The only one not treated as a joke might be this bounty task for $neet—organizing a gathering in New York for people who resist work.

The reward for this bounty is paid in $neet, equivalent to over $15,000. The $neet community has previously self-organized 2 offline "anti-work gatherings" in the US; if this bounty is completed, it will be the 3rd.

Although it's unclear what pump.fun's intention is in supporting community-type meme coins, their official Twitter always features promotions for such community tokens. Although the performance of these tokens varies—for instance, $chillhouse's price has been sluggish for a while—the ones pump.fun officially picks out are generally quite community-driven and organic.

Currently, those with relatively stable visibility and price performance, besides $neet, include $troll, $buttcoin, and $triplet. A brief introduction to the survival status and themes of these community-type tokens:

- $neet: Deployed 410 days ago, peak market cap ~$51 million, current market cap ~$27 million. The community's mission is to make more people realize that dedicating most of one's life to work means losing one's own life.

- $troll: Deployed 416 days ago, holds the copyright to the classic meme Troll, listed on Coinbase. Peak market cap ~$290 million, current market cap ~$65 million.

- $triplet: Deployed 107 days ago, an abbreviation for "Tung Tung Tung Sahur," the hottest breakout character from last year's viral "Italian Classic of Mountains and Seas." Peak market cap ~$13.6 million, current market cap ~$6.6 million.

- $buttcoin: Deployed 153 days ago, originated from a 2011 joke on the Bitcoin forum, a pun on Bitcoin as "Buttcoin" (Butt coin). Peak market cap ~$68.6 million, current market cap ~$27 million.

Mentioning these tokens and the return of community-type coins brings us back to Ansem. After he mentioned returning to buy Solana memes, someone told him to just post the CA (contract address), and if he did, they would aggressively buy 1% to add to their position.

Ansem's response sparked much discussion:

"Let me explain why I don't post CAs. If I buy some Solana meme coins, and these coins already have good holders, the market will tell you which ones are good through social media performance, trading volume, holder count, etc. You shouldn't listen to me, but to the market. Meme coins relying on a group of holders who just compete on speed, wait for endorsements to dump, won't be good. Only tokens with a large community, where people within the community are willing to endure losses and promote their beliefs day after day, will succeed. Tokens dependent on a single celebrity won't do well."

Besides the older tokens mentioned above that have survived long and maintained relatively stable prices, there are indeed new tokens emerging that align with Ansem's view, such as $KINS.

$KINS is the token for Kintara, which is a blockchain game. Interestingly, Kintara hasn't led the Solana gaming sector because its rise wasn't due to the game's polish, but rather its step-by-step actions to earn community trust.

A brief introduction to $KINS' mechanism. This is an MMORPG playable in a browser; to play, your wallet needs 1,000 $KINS. Once in, you can chop wood, mine, fish, buy houses, fight monsters and bosses, and PvP.

The game has no other pay-to-win options, only a reward wheel. If players don't want to spin only once a day, they can spend $3 worth of $KINS to continue spinning. 50% of this revenue is used for token buyback and burn, 50% for project maintenance and development.

The core gameplay loop is roughly: gather resources -> craft items -> challenge tougher monsters. If players lack resources, they need to use the in-game currency "Gold" to buy from other players. Players can sell "Gold" in the game priced in $KINS, with 5% going to the treasury and 95% to the player.

It sounds fairly ordinary, and the data isn't particularly impressive either (so far, 0.5% of $KINS has been repurchased), but the project's consistent delivery has built solid trust. Perhaps because the market is so disheartening, many players have genuinely gotten into it. The number of people fishing in the game daily is increasing. The project has expanded to 5 servers, but there's still a queue...

A player successfully sold a rare mount obtained from fishing and earned $1,800:

The project team of this game almost "doesn't promote play-to-earn," instead focusing heavily on "how to build network effects and a sense of player belonging." For example, integrating various Solana community meme coins or newly hot tokens into game elements, such as auctioning mansions in the game.

Or, promoting people organizing World Cup football matches in their houses:

When it was still obscure, with less than $40,000 market cap and 243 holders, this early phase of "unheard of and unknown" was written on the stats board in the game's main map. Everyone watched Kintara persistently and rapidly update game content, slowly gaining people's trust, gradually attracting KOLs like Gake and Ansem to become part of the game as players.

So no one calls this kind of project a "set-up play."

"What are we constantly chasing after all along? A game of mutual trust, or a game of mutual deception?"

This is a recent question Zhàn Háo has been asking himself.

Hopefully, such questioning can persist and ultimately lead to a healthier market.

Preguntas relacionadas

QWhat are the two main competing themes or approaches observed in the current Solana meme coin market, according to the article?

AThe two main competing themes are 'Attention PvP' and the 'Return of the Community'. Attention PvP relies on quick, hype-driven plays involving celebrity endorsements, hot events, and speed-based speculation. The Return of the Community focuses on meme coins with organic, long-term communities built around a shared culture or purpose, where members are willing to endure price fluctuations and consistently promote their project's ideals.

QHow did the $JOTCHUA meme coin benefit from the 'Attention PvP' dynamic, and what controversy surrounded its success?

AThe $JOTCHUA coin gained attention and its price surged largely after the meme's creator, @_kingorange, 'claimed' the coin on social media. However, its success is controversial because the coin's launch and initial pump did not happen after the creator's claim. Many believe the surge was due to market speculation triggered by KOL Ansem announcing his return to buying Solana meme coins, suggesting it was another 'pump group' setup rather than an organic community-driven event.

QWhat is the core mission of the $neet community, and how does it distinguish itself from typical 'Attention PvP' coins?

AThe core mission of the $neet community is to promote the idea that dedicating most of one's life to work means losing one's own life. It distinguishes itself from 'Attention PvP' coins by being a long-term, community-driven project. The community has organically organized offline 'anti-work' gatherings in the U.S. and focuses on a shared cultural belief rather than relying on short-term hype or celebrity endorsements for price action.

QAccording to Ansem's statement quoted in the article, what are the key characteristics of a successful meme coin that does not rely on a single influencer?

AAccording to Ansem, a successful meme coin that doesn't rely on a single influencer should have a large, genuine community. Members of this community should be willing to endure losses and consistently promote the project's underlying philosophy or culture day after day. Success should be indicated by market data like social media activity, trading volume, and holder count, not by the endorsement of any single key opinion leader (KOL).

QHow did the project behind the $KINS token (Kintara) build trust and a sustainable community, as described in the article?

AThe Kintara project ($KINS) built trust and a sustainable community through consistent delivery and focusing on player engagement rather than financial speculation. Key strategies included: rapidly updating game content, integrating other community meme coins into the game, organizing in-game community events (like house auctions and soccer tournaments), and having a transparent tokenomics model where 50% of optional spin revenue is used for token buyback/burns. This approach fostered a sense of belonging and network effect, attracting genuine players and even respected KOLs who became part of the community.

U.S. Tech Momentum Stocks Post Largest Single-Day Gain Ever, But Is the Plunge Over?

US tech momentum stocks staged a sharp rebound on Tuesday (July 21st). Morgan Stanley's TMT Momentum Factor surged over 12%, marking its largest single-day gain on record, exceeding even peaks from the 2000 dot-com bubble. Key momentum indices from Goldman Sachs also posted their strongest daily performances in years. The rally was led by semiconductors, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index jumping 4.6%. This rebound followed three consecutive down days and a cumulative 33% plunge in momentum stocks, one of the steepest drawdowns since the dot-com era. Analysts attribute the surge largely to a short squeeze. Heavy selling had pushed high-beta momentum stocks into deeply oversold territory, forcing many short sellers, particularly in Asia, to cover their positions, creating a self-reinforcing buying spiral. However, the rebound's internals appear weak. Trading volume was notably low, and advancing stocks still lagged decliners on the S&P 500, indicating a narrow, concentrated rally rather than broad market participation. Diverging views emerge on the outlook. BTIG warns the bounce has hit key resistance and recommends selling into strength, citing extreme volatility and historical parallels to past market tops. Conversely, Goldman Sachs and UBS believe the momentum unwind is nearing its end, suggesting it may be time to gradually add exposure, as positioning has been significantly reduced. They caution, however, that high volatility warrants a measured approach, potentially using defined-risk strategies. The upcoming earnings season, particularly reports from major tech firms like Alphabet, is seen as a critical test for the rally's sustainability. Simultaneously, bond markets flashed a warning, with yields rising partly due to spiking oil prices. Analysts note that if long-term Treasury yields break decisively higher, it could pose a significant headwind for equities, especially growth stocks.

U.S. Tech Momentum Stocks Record Largest Single-Day Gain Ever, but Has the Rout Ended?

U.S. tech momentum stocks staged a dramatic rebound on Tuesday, July 21st. Key momentum indices like the Morgan Stanley TMT Momentum Factor and Goldman Sachs' High Beta Momentum Long Index posted historic or near-historic single-day gains, fueled largely by semiconductor stocks. This sharp rally followed a severe three-day sell-off that saw momentum stocks plunge 33%, marking one of the steepest pullbacks since the dot-com bubble. Analysts attribute the bounce primarily to a short squeeze, as forced covering from over-leveraged traders, particularly in Asia, created a buying spiral. However, the rally's health is questioned due to weak market breadth—overall trading volume was low, and decliners outnumbered advancers in the S&P 500 despite the index's gain—suggesting a narrow, concentrated surge rather than broad recovery. Opinions on the sustainability diverge. BTIG strategists warn the rebound has hit key resistance levels, citing extreme volatility and historic stock dispersion as signs of an ongoing broader correction, and recommend selling into strength. Conversely, Goldman Sachs and UBS view the aggressive momentum unwinding as nearing its end, noting reduced positioning and a lack of new fundamental catalysts. They suggest the sell-off presents a selective opportunity to add exposure, albeit cautiously and gradually using defined-risk strategies. The immediate trajectory hinges on the ongoing earnings season, with market focus on Alphabet's capital expenditure guidance for AI investment clarity. Meanwhile, bond markets present a risk, with rising Treasury yields—potentially heading toward 5.5%—and widening credit spreads for mega-cap tech companies posing a threat to equity valuations. The combination of technical factors, earnings results, and macro conditions leaves the durability of the rebound in doubt.

Long-Divided Must Unite, Long-United Must Divide: When L1 Becomes Its Own Rollup, What Is Ethereum's Endgame?

"The Inevitable Cycle: When L1 Becomes Its Own Rollup – What is Ethereum's Endgame?" For years, the Ethereum community grappled with concerns that L2s were fragmenting the ecosystem and eroding L1's value. While L2s provided cheaper execution, they also splintered liquidity and the unified user experience of a single chain. This has prompted a fundamental reassessment of the relationship between L1 and L2. Ethereum's roadmap is evolving. The "Scale" initiative merges L1 and L2 expansion into a holistic framework. L1 itself is advancing with higher gas limits, statelessness, and zkEVM verification, no longer content to be just a low-throughput settlement layer. Consequently, the primary value proposition of L2s is shifting from merely providing cheap blockspace to offering L1 cannot easily provide: application-specific optimizations, privacy features, and flexible governance models. L2s are becoming a spectrum of execution environments with varying degrees of security inheritance from Ethereum. A critical challenge in this multi-chain future is interoperability. The vision is to make Ethereum "feel like one chain again." This relies on advancements in native account abstraction (like EIP-7702) and intent-based architectures (Open Intents Framework), where users declare desired outcomes, and solvers handle the complex cross-chain execution. Furthermore, shortening Ethereum's finality time from minutes to seconds is crucial, as it underpins trust between chains for bridges, stablecoins, and cross-chain applications. Perhaps the most provocative idea is that Ethereum L1 itself could become a form of "its own Rollup." As zkEVM and proof systems mature, high-performance nodes could execute transactions and generate validity proofs. Regular validators would then verify these proofs instead of re-executing all transactions. This blurs the traditional L1/L2 hierarchy, making "Rollup" more of a general execution-verification architecture. Native Rollup aims to integrate L2 validation more directly into the Ethereum protocol, allowing L2s to inherit L1's security more fully and move away from reliance on security councils. In the end, L2s are not destined to replace L1 or be made obsolete by it. The likely future is a unified system where diverse execution environments—each optimized for specific use cases like DeFi, gaming, or privacy—coexist. They will share a common foundation of security, liquidity, and verifiable state, seamlessly connected to restore a cohesive user experience. The next phase for Ethereum is not just about scaling through separation, but about intelligently reintegrating what was separated back into a coherent whole.

Agent Race Ends, Super Workbench Takes Over

The era of fragmented AI agents is ending. Over the past month, China's tech giants—Tencent, Alibaba, and ByteDance—have simultaneously shifted strategy: instead of launching new, standalone AI agents, they are consolidating their various agent projects into unified "super workbenches." Tencent integrated its QClaw teams into WorkBuddy, a strategic product hailed as a potential third flagship after QQ and WeChat. Alibaba is merging its QoderWork, Wukong, and MuleRun agents into a new "Qianwen Office" platform under DingTalk's leadership. ByteDance rebranded its TRAE SOLO coding agent to TRAE Work, signaling a broader focus on workflow collaboration. This convergence marks a pivotal industry consensus. The initial exploration phase, where companies rapidly built numerous overlapping agents for different scenarios, proved costly and inefficient. With open-source tools eroding technical barriers, competition has shifted from agent creation to resource consolidation and cost control. Historically, platform wars are won not by creating more products, but by simplifying them—as seen with browsers unifying web access and super-apps consolidating services. Now, the "super workbench" aims to become the unified AI entry point for work. This reflects a deeper market realization: the primary audience for AI is no longer just programmers (a market in the tens of millions) but all knowledge workers (a market of billions). The real opportunity lies in augmenting everyday tasks—managing emails, documents, data, and meetings—across the entire workday. The core battleground is becoming control over the primary AI entry point that employees use daily. Tencent's WorkBuddy leverages WeChat and Tencent Docs; Alibaba's Qianwen Office taps into DingTalk's organizational data; ByteDance's TRAE Work integrates with Feishu's workflows. Whoever owns this "super workbench" gains strategic control over orchestrating enterprise data and APIs. This shift is redefining enterprise software. Traditional SaaS applications, valued for their user interfaces, will recede into the background. Their core functionalities will be exposed as standardized "Skills" or APIs for the super workbench's agents to invoke. Software value will shift from selling user seats to charging based on API calls and outcomes delivered. The evolution of agents is moving through clear stages: first as novel standalone products, then as consolidated primary work entry points, and finally as pervasive, invisible capabilities embedded into the digital fabric. The recent moves by major tech firms signal the transition from the first stage into the second, accelerating toward the third. In the end, the most successful agent technology may become invisible—like electricity or the HTTP protocol—a fundamental, unnamed infrastructure powering work itself.
