In the past May, the wealth effect of thousands of times set off a wave of meme market. As the enthusiasm gradually subsided, a total of three new projects entered the forefront of the meme sector in this round, namely ArbDog AI, Milady Meme Coin and PEPE, among them, ArbDog AI adopts the distribution mode of specific address airdrop, and Milady Meme Coin and PEPE are sent directly to the liquidity pool. This article will review these three projects.

ArbDog AI

ArbDog AI was launched on April 15th, with a total of 210,000,000,000,000,000 (2.1 trillion) tokens, 95% of which are allocated for free to addresses with ARB token air investment qualifications, and the claim period is from April 15th to May 15th, For a period of one month, 5% is used to motivate invited users. The inviter can generate a unique link to invite addresses eligible for airdrops, and at the same time receive 10% of the total amount of tokens received by the invited address as a reward, and 5% of the reward pool is taken First come, first served basis.

ArbDog AI does not adopt an average distribution method. The earlier the address received can get more tokens, the last batch of addresses received only 1% of the first batch.

ArbDog AI charges a 15% burning tax on on-chain transactions, distributed as follows:

Based on this AIDOGE can be mined, the current staking amount is 41,745.6T, accounting for 20% of the total circulation, and APY 43%. When users buy AIDOGE of $100-$1000 on the chain, they will be eligible to participate in the Lucky Drop, which will be drawn every half hour.

The project party also issues AICODE tokens. Users can obtain AICODE by burning and trading AIDOG in two forms of "mining". Among them, 60% are issued in the form of Burning Mining, with a total of 12,600,000 tokens; 40% are issued in the form of Trading Mining, with a total of 8,400,000 tokens.

AICODE helped absorb part of the selling pressure of AIDOGE, and the token price went down all the way. The project party passed the proposal to stop the continued issuance of AICODE on May 23, and stopped the release of AICODE mining rewards on May 24. This proposal is good for AICODE to maintain the price, but at the same time reduces the use cases of AIDOGE tokens.

AIDOGE has launched OKX, Gate, and bitget, and currently has 263,000 currency-holding addresses. The highest price of AIDOGE tokens occurred on May 1, when the market value in circulation reached 150 million US dollars. Since then, the price has fallen, and the current market value in circulation is 55 million US dollars.

Summarize

Reviewing the development path of meme coin, we can find that the rise of a meme project generally requires the following steps:

• Fair distribution to a broad group;
• Community communication, such as KOL publicity, attracting attention with its exaggerated wealth stories, etc., frequent twitter space;
• Celebrity effects, such as the strongest meme IP Musk;
• The rapid price rise attracts market attention and the entry of a wide range of users;
• After a certain scale is formed, it will be launched on the centralized exchange to increase liquidity.
