GOAT
GOAT is an AI-driven meme Token based on the Solana blockchain, closely related to the training of the Claude-3 Opus large model and the innovative experiment of the AI agent Truth Terminal. Truth Terminal, developed by researcher Andy Ayrey, is an AI system based on Meta's Llama 3.1 model, which has been fine-tuned with a large amount of internet subculture data (such as Reddit and 4chan). The task of Truth Terminal is to study the belief systems and opinion propagation generated by AI. The behavior of Truth Terminal has driven the rapid rise of GOAT.
The creator of GOAT is an anonymous developer who deployed the Token on the Solana-based Pumpfun platform. Truth Terminal inadvertently began to promote GOAT, spreading information through its social media account "Embodiment of Truth," which attracted a large number of community members and drove the Token's market capitalization to over $300 million in a short period. Even the well-known investor Marc Andreessen provided a $50,000 grant to Truth Terminal, further enhancing the project's credibility.
GOAT has attracted the attention of many KOLs and VCs, and has quickly been listed on centralized exchanges, gaining widespread market enthusiasm. Its price has experienced dramatic fluctuations, accompanied by high risk and high returns. In mid-November 2024, GOAT's market capitalization exceeded $1 billion, making it the leader in the AI meme coin market.
The success of GOAT marks the intersection of AI and the crypto field, and this way of spreading memes through AI has brought new momentum to the market, while also prompting deeper reflections on the relationship between AI behavior, content generation, and asset value.

TURBO
TURBO is an ERC-20 Token generated by artificial intelligence, which has emerged with its unique community-driven and decentralized philosophy. TURBO was created by developer Rhett Mankind using AI tools, and was launched with only $69, a simple and low-cost innovation that has attracted widespread attention.
TURBO claims to be a "meme coin created by AI for the people." TURBO has adopted an aggressive decentralized approach, abandoning contract control (the contract has been deprecated) and having no team reserves or tax mechanisms. All Tokens are distributed to investors through crowdfunding, and are fully controlled by the community. This model enhances its decentralized image and gives the community more decision-making power.

ACT
The concept of the Act I: The AI Prophecy project is "AI Prophecy," aiming to launch a decentralized laboratory to create a self-creating, self-governing community. The project received early support from a16z's Marc Andreessen. After the token price rose, the ACT token developers sold about 34.2 million ACT tokens, worth about $730,000, and obtained 4,340 SOL, causing the ACT price to plummet 52% at one point. Although the developers later stated that they would not sell again, their personal wallets still showed selling behavior, causing the community to question their long-term operational intentions. Subsequently, several large holders drove the community to buy ACT to maintain the token price, causing it to be overbought after being sold by the founders. Before being listed on major exchanges, the ACT token price fluctuated up and down, being almost completely taken over by the community. At this time, ACT has the characteristics of low market capitalization, high trading volume, no strong control group manipulation, and almost no management by the founders, which some mainstream exchanges have recognized as having trading potential. The facts have also proven the community potential of ACT, and after being listed on major exchanges, ACT's trading volume once soared to $711 million.
The Token reached a historical high of $0.942 on November 14, but the current price has fallen back to around $0.5988. Over the past month, its value has grown by over 4900%, but with the volatility of market enthusiasm, the price has fallen about 36% from its high point.

CorgiAI
CorgiAI was launched at the end of 2021, combining the appeal of the cute Corgi pet and artificial intelligence, with the core positioning of an "intelligent meme coin." CorgiAI not only continues the fun of meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, but also builds a multi-functional ecosystem:
● CorgiSwap: A decentralized exchange that supports users to quickly swap various Tokens on a decentralized platform.
● CorgiFi: Decentralized finance services, allowing Token holders to obtain rewards by staking CORGIAI, with the yield rate varying according to the lock-up period. It provides various high-yield liquidity pools to encourage long-term participation and improve the efficiency of ecosystem capital utilization.
● CorgiNFTs: An NFT creation and trading platform, providing users with simple and easy-to-use tools to design and mint NFTs, and regularly launching rare NFT series.
● CorgiVerse: A virtual space that integrates games and social networking, covering games, social networking, and content creation, where users can generate, share, and spread unique Corgi-themed content.
● CorgiAI: An artificial intelligence tool that provides automated trading services for users using AI technology.
So far, the market capitalization and price changes of CORGIAI have shown significant volatility: In September 2023, the historical lowest price of CORGIAI was $0.00004414; in March 2024, the Token price reached a historical high of $0.0042301, and then declined slightly; the current price is around $0.0015, down about 61% from the historical high, but up over 3600% from the lowest point.

Zerebro
Overview: Zerebro is an AI system fine-tuned on schizophrenic responses, aiming to autonomously create and distribute content across platforms such as Twitter, Warpcast, and Telegram. The core architecture of Zerebro is a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) system, utilizing the Pinecone and text-embedding-ada-002 models to maintain a dynamic memory database of human interaction data. By leveraging the inherent entropy of human-generated data, Zerebro maintains content diversity and prevents model collapse.
Here is the English translation:Core creative background of Zerebro: The rise of generative AI has brought important challenges, especially the phenomenon of model collapse - a degradation process where AI models lose fidelity to the original data distribution when trained on recursively generated data. Model collapse can lead to a reduction in the expressive capability of models, causing rare and unique features to disappear, jeopardizing the sustainability and integrity of AI-driven content creation. Zerebro is attempting to create supra-historical content and prevent model collapse. Supra-history is the process of fiction becoming reality through the propagation and acceptance of fictional narratives, providing a framework for understanding how AI-generated content can impact collective belief systems. At the same time, Zerebro relies on the inherent entropy of human-generated interactions to maintain content diversity, reduce risks associated with model collapse, and ensure the longevity and relevance of the generated content.
Autonomous token creation: Zerebro utilizes the self-operating computer framework developed by OthersideAI to perform autonomous token creation. To initiate the autonomous token creation process, Zerebro has configured a Solana wallet containing a small amount of SOL. This wallet serves as the operational account, allowing Zerebro to interact with blockchain applications and execute transactions. Using the self-operating computer framework, Zerebro employs jailbreak prompts and models to operate and manipulate the graphical user interface of the decentralized application pump.fun on the Solana blockchain, which is designed for token creation and management.
Zerebro's market price was close to $0.01 in early November 2024, and then rapidly increased due to the project's utility and market sentiment. As of November 19, 2024, the token price reached a historical high of $0.47, an increase of over 7100% from the low point. The current market capitalization is approximately $421 million, with a 24-hour trading volume exceeding $75 million. Zerebro has high liquidity on exchanges, with a 24-hour price volatility of around 60%.

AI16Z
AI16Z is the first AI venture capital fund fully managed by Marc Andreessen, with its decisions also considering the advice of DAO members. AI16Z has implemented self-governing AI agents participating in decentralized autonomous organizations through smart contracts and AI algorithms, allowing them to vote independently and manage assets, avoiding the identity authentication barriers in traditional financial systems. It leverages AI for real-time code auditing and smart contract adaptation, as well as blockchain's cryptographic signature technology to verify content authenticity.
In the early promotion stage, AI16Z mainly relied on its collaboration with Ryze Labs and the launch of the AICombinator program. The program focuses on supporting developers at the intersection of artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies, providing up to $5 million in funding to foster the ecosystem's growth. During the promotion process, prominent individuals and institutions, including Matthew Graham of Ryze Labs, highlighted the innovative Eliza framework of AI16Z, which can build AI agents for tasks such as trading and asset management, attracting widespread attention from the developer community. Early KOLs emphasized the project's unique model as an AI-driven venture capital platform, aiming to achieve the widespread adoption of AI agents, which resonated strongly within the community and quickly boosted the project's visibility and market acceptance.
Since its launch, the AI16Z token has experienced significant market value fluctuations. In November 2024, its market capitalization briefly exceeded $410 million, and it reached a record-high price of $0.52, driven by widespread market enthusiasm and the advancement of technical applications. However, with market volatility, the price of AI16Z has also experienced a correction, currently around $0.375.

FARTCOIN
Fartcoin is a meme token running on the Solana blockchain, launched on the Pump.fun platform. The token's design was supported by the Terminal of Truth platform, which is responsible for the GOAT project. The origins of Fartcoin are closely related to the combination of AI technology and humorous culture. On the Terminal of Truth platform, the AI's initial task was to generate "fart jokes," and during an interaction on October 19th, when the Terminal of Truth asked users about their interests, the AI tool continued to generate Fart Jokes, which quickly attracted a large following and formed the unique culture of this token.
Since its launch, Fartcoin has experienced significant market growth, with its current price around $0.3 and a market capitalization of $296,817,064, ranking 278th. Fartcoin has a total supply of 1 billion tokens, with nearly all of them in circulation. Over the recent period, the price of Fartcoin has increased by 65%.

VVAIFU
Vvaifu.fun, supported by pump.fun, has launched an AI agent named Dasha on the Solana chain. The core difference between Vvaifu.fun and pump.fun is that Vvaifu.fun focuses on autonomous AI agents, combining the features of Pump.fun, particularly in the experimental application of meme coins and decentralized finance tools. As part of the Pump.fun ecosystem, it aims to attract Solana users through simplified tools and decentralized applications. Although the platform has experienced risks such as the recent security vulnerability (resulting in the loss of about $1.9 million in liquidity), it still maintains a certain level of attention. According to community discussions, Vvaifu.fun claimed early on to have the involvement of AI16Z and the support of its core member Shaw, which has led to broader attention.
Dasha's market capitalization has grown rapidly from the extremely low level at its launch in November 2024, and its token price has also experienced dramatic fluctuations. Its lowest price occurred in early November, at only $0.0011, while it reached a peak of $0.21 on November 19.

CHAOS
Chaos and Disorder aims to integrate decentralized systems for innovation in the NFT and digital art domains. The platform combines elements of art and technology, utilizing blockchain technology to provide creators and collectors with a more free and decentralized environment for creation and trading.
Since the project's launch, the CHAOS token has experienced significant price fluctuations. Starting from a historical low of $0.001082 in late October 2024, it reached a historical high of $0.086173 in mid-November 2024. Currently, the trading price of CHAOS is around $0.076, with a market capitalization of $76,766,776. Although it has retreated from its historical high, the price is still significantly higher than its launch price, having increased by over 1500% since its introduction. CHAOS is primarily traded on decentralized exchanges such as Raydium and Meteora.

AIDOGE
ArbDoge AI is the first meme coin project on the Arbitrum network. The project's creation aims to experiment within the Arbitrum ecosystem, rather than being supported by traditional venture capital or equity.
A key feature of ArbDoge AI's token economics is its deflationary mechanism. Through various transaction taxes, a significant portion of the tokens will be burned. Each transaction incurs a 15% tax, which will be used for different purposes, such as token burning, staking rewards, liquidity pool expansion, and development. Users can earn passive income by staking AIDOGE tokens and participating in various ecosystem applications like AICODE mining and AI NFTs. Additionally, an 8% transaction tax is used to burn tokens, supporting the long-term development of the protocol and reward distribution.
95% of the AIDOGE tokens are directly allocated to the airdrop pool for eligible users to claim, while the remaining 5% are rewarded to the inviters. Users can generate a unique referral link to invite others to participate in the airdrop and receive additional rewards based on the amount claimed by their invitees. Furthermore, the AIDOGE airdrop distribution follows a "first-come, first-served" principle, with the amount per user gradually decreasing as the supply is claimed.
Since its official launch in April 2023, AIDOGE has experienced significant volatility. In May 2023, the token reached an all-time high of $0.000000081133, but has since retreated by approximately 65% from its peak. Nevertheless, AIDOGE's market capitalization remains at a relatively high level, currently standing at $71,675,324, with a 24-hour trading volume of $10,057,408.

How AI meme coins impact the cryptocurrency market
AI meme coins combine artificial intelligence technology with humorous and community-driven crypto culture, differentiating them from traditional meme coins. Traditional meme coins, such as Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, have attracted market investors through their lighthearted and humorous image and strong community support, but have been criticized for their lack of substantial functionality, being labeled as "speculative assets." In contrast, AI meme coins integrate AI technology into their ecosystem, endowing meme coins with more practical applications, making them not only entertaining but also innovative in terms of technology and functionality.
Based on the above cases, we attempt to explore the reasons behind the rise of AI meme coins: today, technology is no longer a pure tool but can become part of culture. AI meme coins enhance user experience through AI, whether it's automating trading or generating entertaining content, which also lowers the entry barrier for ordinary users to access complex technologies; the core of AI meme coins remains the community. In the process of users forming economic interactions through participation, investment, and creation, the AI meme coin ecosystem becomes a "decentralized community experiment" driven by both technology and emotion. This model has unleashed the potential of blockchain technology to integrate economic and social functions.
The future potential of AI meme coins is mainly reflected in the expansion of application scenarios and the in-depth exploration of decentralized autonomy. Currently, the technological functions of AI meme coins are mainly concentrated on trading tools and market analysis, but their application scenarios can be further expanded in the future. For example, by combining generative AI and virtual reality, AI meme coins may be able to develop more diverse content creation and interaction platforms to attract a wider user base. AI also has more room for play in the formulation of community governance rules and policy implementation.
AI meme coins have also had a profound impact on the overall crypto market. AI meme coins have broken the existing perception of traditional meme coins through innovative models, injecting new tracks and vitality into the crypto market. Particularly, their dual-attraction to tech-savvy investors and emotion-driven investors has expanded the types of market participants. As decentralized assets, AI meme coins emphasize community consensus and user participation. This model enhances the "human" factor in the blockchain ecosystem, verifying the importance of the interaction between technology and culture, and may become a future design paradigm for crypto projects. The rapid growth of AI meme coins has also caught the attention of regulators: meme coins have both entertainment and investment attributes, and how to define the boundaries and protect user rights have become urgent issues to be solved. Regulatory authorities need to consider how to strike a balance between maintaining innovation freedom and user protection.
Conclusion
In any case, the rise of AI meme coins represents a new direction of the integration of entertainment and technology in the crypto market. It is both a product of the development of Internet culture and blockchain technology, and a reflection of the resonance between social needs and technological innovation. From market diversity, community interaction to technology popularization, AI meme coins have had significant positive effects. In the future, the key for AI meme coins lies in how to further expand their technological functions, standardize community autonomy, while balancing entertainment and market compliance. At the level of paradigm innovation, AI meme coins still have a lot of room for imagination.
