Long-awaited and finally released, last weekend, ELIZA ecosystem Launchpad platform auto.fun officially announced its launch. Additionally, 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 for revival, or even a strong surge, and welcome its "second spring"?
Project Overview: Native Token is ai16z
auto.fun is an ai16z ecosystem project, an open-source, no-code Launchpad platform where anyone can create autonomous AI agents to 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. Unlike ordinary token launch platforms, auto.fun adopts a fairer token model combining bonding curves and fair issuance principles, bringing narrative-level changes. Creators can independently claim fees 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 Crashes, Lacks Novelty
For the long-anticipated auto.fun Launchpad platform by ai16z, since its launch last weekend, not only has there been no visible product experience heat or token speed-through and ai16z token staking functions on social media, but the website has also experienced multiple crashes, even crashing again this morning.
Token Issuance Function Lacks Clear Innovation
auto.fun's token issuance function largely follows the mature model of platforms like Pump.fun, with no significant differences in creation process, token release method, or overall user experience. It appears more like a "migration replication" of existing models rather than a true breakthrough in product mechanism.
Although the platform introduced an additional "chat room" function dividing exclusive chat areas based on token holdings (1k, 10k, 100k, 1M), attempting to create a sense of community belonging, no large MC memecoin project with high consensus and stickiness has emerged, rendering this "micro-innovation" meaningless. Moreover, 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 momentum, 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 dragon one or dragon two project.
According to community member analysis of auto.fun data (analysis website: https://autofun-iota.vercel.app/), the platform has issued 576 projects, with the current highest market cap token only reaching $28,000, while most other projects have a market cap of less than $10,000, appearing quite cold.

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, a recent hot topic, has also strengthened. Among them, ai16z performed exceptionally, briefly rising to $0.19 this morning and currently reporting 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 auto.fun, 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 welcome its "second spring" still depends on whether auto.fun subsequently launches functions with actual utility, such as ai16z token staking mechanism, or ecosystem upgrades with more imaginative potential like Eliza v2 brought by Shaw.
