After long anticipation, last weekend, the ELIZA ecosystem Launchpad platform auto.fun officially launched, and ai16z founder Shaw has been continuously promoting auto.fun on X platform. So, with the market warming up this morning, can ai16z's price leverage auto.fun to survive or even surge, ushering in a "second spring"?
Below, Odaily will help everyone understand the Launchpad platform auto.fun, the platform's first token price performance, and community sentiment.
Project Overview: Native Token is ai16z
auto.fun is an ai16z ecosystem project,a community-driven, open-source, no-code Launchpad platform where anyone can create autonomous AI agents that execute tasks across social media platforms, DeFi applications, and other Web3 services.
Eliza Labs stated that auto.fun was developed to support AI Agent development at the economic level, and auto.fun will differ from ordinary token launch platforms by adopting a fairer token model that combines bonding curves and fair issuance principles, bringing narrative-level changes.Additionally,creators can independently claim fees generated from content creation and token issuance, while the community can collaboratively initiate content or create CTO tokens based on other platforms. The platform emphasizes "anti-hype" and "pure fun", aiming to build a decentralized, transparent content and token publishing space truly belonging to creators and the community.
It's worth mentioning that ai16z founder Shaw previously posted on X platform that auto.fun's native token is ai16z.
Website Frequently Down, No Innovative Features
For the long-awaited Launchpad platform auto.fun by major AI Agent communities, since its launch last weekend, not only has there been no visible product experience heat, quick token acquisition, or ai16z token staking functionality, but the website has also experienced multiple outages, even going down again this morning.
Token Issuance Function Lacks Clear Innovation
The token issuance function provided by auto.fun largely follows the mature model of platforms like Pump.fun, with no significant differentiation in creation process, token release method, or overall user experience. Overall, it appears more like a "direct replication" of existing models rather than a genuine breakthrough in product mechanism.
The platform introduced an additional "chat room" function, dividing exclusive chat areas based on users' token holdings (such as 1k, 10k, 100k, 1M), attempting to create a sense of community belonging. However, no large MC memecoin project with high consensus and stickiness has emerged, rendering this "micro-innovation" meaningless. Additionally, auto.fun's built-in Swap function lacks a transparent incentive mechanism explanation (such as trading rewards or commission), failing to spark community discussion or usage enthusiasm, and risks becoming a "tool island".
Chaotic Layout and No "Large MC Memecoin"
"None of the projects issued on the platform is worth mentioning". Due to the chaotic presentation of issued tokens on the official website, first-time users cannot identify which project is currently hot or find a worthwhile platform first or second-tier project.
Moreover, according to community members' data analysis of auto.fun (analysis website: https://autofun-iota.vercel.app/), the platform has issued 576 projects, with the current highest market cap token only reaching $28,000, and most other projects having a market cap of less than $10,000, indicating a lukewarm reception.

ai16z Short-term Rise May Only Be Due to Market Rebound, No Substantial Fundamental Improvement
With BTC's strong rebound today and market sentiment clearly warming up, the AI Agent sector, as a recent hot topic, has also strengthened. Among them, ai16z performed exceptionally, briefly rising to $0.19 this morning and currently trading at $0.18, with a 24-hour increase of over 30%. This trend seems more like a strong altcoin sector rebound brought by market recovery, rather than positive changes in ai16z's fundamentals.
ai16z Daily K-line Chart
Looking at the performance of tokens issued on the auto.fun platform, the overall market response is tepid, failing to inject substantial incremental value into the ai16z ecosystem. Instead, due to highly homogeneous content and gameplay, it has triggered doubts and negative feedback from some community users. Therefore, whether ai16z token price can truly usher in a "second spring" depends on whether auto.fun subsequently launches functions with actual utility, such as ai16z token staking mechanisms, or ecosystem upgrades with more imaginative potential like Eliza v2 brought by Shaw.
