Yes I full agree...


Did you launch a Meme Token before? Would be great to participate from your experiences.

But still... there is this other aspect, that cannot be negelcted. And that is: Tokenomics. Yes, we need a viral topic, a community, a sense of purpose etc... BUT: there is this aspect of tokenomics. Let me give you an example:


Say we create a token on the Solana Blockchain. We call it "Coin123". We create our webiste, our Twitter/X, our Instapage. So we roll out every social media channel we have and advertise. And for the sake of this example we have good interaction the community. Let's say, they interact, post stuff - even buy the shirt!

But what about the numbers?
Let's say we create 1 Billion Tokens. How do we distribute them?

What is your guess of a reasonable Dev Holding? What amount should be held by early adopters? And do we distribute this via Airdrops? Or early buy slots? How do we make sure, that this token looks "attractive" and not like a scam...?

If a possible buyer sees that the Dev holds 25%, the top 10 holders hold another 50%. What is the logical conclusion? The chances that this is a scam are, let's say "present".  And if so, no one will buy the coin. Even if there is a strong community identification. And that is the point I am trying to make:

Given a good marketing, a good community etc. - What are ideal tokenomics that the token looks "legit" and not like a scam?
I hope I did not lose the reader with all that numbers...

You are totally right!

I would say: both is required.

To put this in perspective: $PEPE, $SHIB etc. are exceptions... And yes, you are lucky (or incredibly skilled) if you setup a Memecoin that goes to similar heights (Millions in MCAP). But the reality looks a bit different.

Yes, I set up several memecoins (which I will not name here) for testing purposes and guess what. Nothing happens at first. I am sure, if you build up a community on X, TikTok and insta with several 100k followers, there are good chances that if you launch the coin, you will reach a significant market cap. But even then: People invest only in good stuff. So if you just build a community to shill coins I guess the crowd will punish you for that.

On the other hand you have to start somewhere and that is my point. I would argue that you need good marketing, an attractive narrative AND good stats...

But what are good stats. I would argue:

1M to 1B Tokens, whereas less than 5% is held by the dev wallet, less than 10% is held by the top 10 holders, a liquidity pool of around 60-80%, revoked mint authority*

* this means that no entity is allowed to generate more tokens after launch. Or in other words, no FED can print any money after the tokens has been launched

BUT:  if anyone of you can prove me otherwise - go ahead...


So in conclusion I would say: What ingredeints are required (next to good marketing and an attractive narrative) to set up a stable, reliable memecoin. Specially in regards to token distribution (e.g. Airdrops).

Dear Altcoin Forum.

During the past weeks I spent some time playing around with creating Tokens on the Solana Blockchain. I know, that there are tons of Websites like pumpfun etc. but for the sake of a learning process, I decided to code it by myself and coded yome JS and PY files that actually work.

So at the moment I am able to create, mint, send, receive tokens on the Solana blockchain. I was even able to set the metadata. Further I experimented with some airdrop mechanisms to get familiar with that...

Reason is, that if you want to create an "attractive" token, the stats must match. Or in other words:
- low dev holding (<5%)
- low top 10% holding (>10%)
etc.

Now, when analyzing other coins, I recon that some coins have perfect stats and also look great in the bubble charts (independent bubbles).... But I was never able to reproduce this kind of token distribution.

Is there anyone who is an expert in this field?
