A certain public chain ecosystem just officially announced an exciting trading competition—the USD1 Trading Challenge. It kicks off on January 15th and concludes on January 25th, with three winners ultimately receiving comprehensive resource support from the ecosystem.

Although no specific track direction was explicitly designated this time, since it partnered with a well-known meme community, it’s basically targeting the meme coin ecosystem. Last year’s event produced several projects with a market cap exceeding 100M, and community enthusiasm has continued to rise.

Currently, the ecosystem on this chain is indeed gaining momentum. In terms of trading competition frequency and reward scale, project teams are clearly more aggressive in attracting developers and traders. Whether this can again produce a dark horse depends on what new tricks the contestants can come up with. We’ll be watching eagerly in mid-January.

According to the incentive mechanism design in the white paper, governance proposals in the meme coin ecosystem often lack long-term sustainability—can this 100M-sized project survive until now? It is worth noting that the increased frequency of trading competitions essentially reflects the dilemma of token economics, with project teams using short-term activity to mask fundamental issues. However, speaking of which, from the data performance, the previous round did produce a few decent results. If this time’s participants can break through the limitations of Token Weighted Voting, there is theoretically a possibility of exceeding expectations... Let’s wait and see.

The meme track is back. I didn't get into those few 100M projects last year. Can I turn things around this time...

It's that meme season again, and projects that were worth 100M last year now seem trivial.

It's the meme track again. Last year, several dark horses emerged in that wave, and this time, Xiangfang is investing even more heavily.

Here comes the new way to harvest the little guys again. How did last year's dark horse wave turn out?

Another big event to harvest the newbies? How did last year's projects that raised over 100M do? Are they still alive now?

It's another meme coin contest. Last year's wave definitely launched quite a few projects.

Is the meme ecosystem about to take off again? The 100M project from last year was indeed impressive, but whether it can be replicated this time is really hard to say.
