6 Vitalik Buterin concept MEMEs "archaeology": D/ACC big pump drives speculative sentiment, most market values drop to peaks

Author: Nancy, PANews

Last weekend, Vitalik Buterin demonstrated his marketing power again by pumping the same-named MEME after minting the new ENS domain name on mint. The market also began to dig into Vitalik-related MEME projects. This article from PANews listed 6 Vitalik-related MEME coins, all of which have seen gains of hundreds or thousands of times. The potential for profit is attractive, but most of them have spiraled down in market size after the hype cooled. Recently, due to the expected speculation of Vitalik, these MEME coins have rebounded to varying degrees, but the speculative sentiment has limited the space for Market Cap growth.

D/ACC

After the e/acc (Effective Accelerationism) concept became popular in Silicon Valley last year, Vitalik published "My Technological Optimism" in November, discussing the development of artificial intelligence and privacy. In the article, he proposed the d/acc (Defensive, Decentralization, Democracy, Differential Acceleration) philosophy, suggesting that a defensive world is a better world. This philosophy not only directly improves security and reduces conflicts but also makes it easier for healthy, open, and freedom-respecting forms of governance to thrive. Subsequently, Ethereum, Solana, and other on-chain projects launched related meme coins with the same name, but these projects experienced a continuous decline after a big pump.

And on August 18th, Vitalik minted a new ENS domain named 'dacc.eth' and announced that the concept of d/acc will be discussed in the upcoming event next week. As a result, the market funds were stirred, and MEME coins like D/ACC and E/ACC were pumped, with many copycats appearing as well. However, from the perspective of price movement, the rebound momentum of these MEME coins is limited, and the market capitalization has greatly decreased compared to its peak.

DEX Screener data shows that D/ACC pumped over 956.5% on August 18th, but the price subsequently fell. As of the time of writing, it has dropped by about 67.3% from its historical high, with a Market Cap of $2.5 million; E/ACC also saw a multiple-fold increase on the same day, with a peak pump of around 960%, but the current price has fallen by over 97.3% from its historical peak, with a Market Cap of only $257,000.

Zuzalu

In 2023, Vitalik proposed a new urban construction experiment called Zuzalu after realizing that previous encryption city experiments were difficult to scale up. This is a two-month mini-city that can accommodate 200 people, aiming to transform online culture and tribes into physical places, and explore the ideas and practices behind it.

Under the impetus of Vitalik, the MEMETokenZUZALU in the market also once showed an unstoppable momentum. According to DEX Screener data, the price of ZUZALU skyrocketed by more than 3660 times after its launch, and its market capitalization once exceeded 33 million US dollars. However, as of the time of writing, the token price has fallen by more than 95.9% from its peak, and the market capitalization is only 1.2 million US dollars. Since August 18th, ZUZALU has experienced a considerable increase, with a maximum pump of 124.9%.

TCATI

TCATI (Green Tea) is a cat-themed MEME originating from the introduction signature in Vitalik's X account and providing 33% of the token supply for Vitalik's Zuzalu experiment as financial support. According to DEX Screener data, TCATI has pumped up to over 519.4 times since its launch, with a peak market capitalization exceeding $3.8 million, but has now retraced about 95.6% from the high point, with a market capitalization of only $165,000. TCATI also experienced a pump trend starting from August 18th, with a maximum increase of 403.6%.

TOASTY

toasty is a domain name released by Vitalik in 2017. DEX Screener data shows that TOASTY did not show a significant pump after its launch earlier this month, but it started to pump significantly from August 18th, with a maximum increase of 167.7 times, and the Market Cap exceeded 1.9 million dollars at its peak.

SLASHA

slasha is an online strategy game developed by Vitalik in 2011, and it was uploaded to IPFS in May of last year. According to DEX Screener data, SLASHA skyrocketed nearly 414 times on the first day of its launch, then started to plummet, and as of the time of writing, it has dropped by over 98.9% from its peak. SLASHA also experienced a pump after August 18, rising by approximately 188.9% at its peak.

THE

In October 2022, Vitalik tweeted that someone should issuance a project called 'THE Protocol' so that whenever someone mentions 'The', the community can say 'Look, someone mentioned THE'. Subsequently, THE was created on the ETH chain, and 10% of the total Token supply was transferred to Vitalik. The project gained further popularity after being followed by Vitalik. DEX Screener data shows that THE pumped up to over 8124 times after it went live, and the Market Cap once approached nearly 40 million US dollars. However, as of the time of writing, THE price has dropped more than 99.5% from its peak, and the Market Cap is only $168,000. Among them, since August 18th, THE has pumped up to 71.8% at its highest point.
