Solara surged big pump 10 times in half a day! Trends creators' revenue sharing mechanism subverts Meme coins.

The meme coin market has spread from BSC to Base and finally reached Solana. This morning, the token Solara on Solana opened with a fierce surge near a market capitalization of 2 million USD, peaking at over 20 million USD, achieving a 10-fold increase in just one morning.

Solara's explosion from the fundraising event to a market cap of 20 million

A few days ago, the community agreement platform Trends launched the “Collecting Chinese Names for Solana” event, and set up a reward pool of 100 SOL for the event. Users can participate by quoting and retweeting the official tweet and writing their proposed Chinese name for Solana. The reward rules state that the best-performing proposal tweet will receive 66 SOL, the second place will receive 33 SOL, and 1 participant will be randomly drawn to receive 1 SOL. After all, the current Chinese meme sentiment is booming, and the reward of 100 SOL is quite eye-catching.

After the event began, Solana's official account, Solana founder Toly, and Solana Foundation chair Lily Liu all retweeted Trends' event posts and continuously interacted with the community throughout the event. A large number of players actively participated, even users from the English-speaking community. This level of official endorsement brought immense exposure and enthusiasm to the event.

In the end, the English-speaking user muper (@easytopredict) emerged from among numerous participants. Inspired by a tweet from Solana Foundation Chair Lily Liu, he and his team created a vibrant long-haired builder girl character named “Solara.” Driven by SOL + Chinese sentiment, Solara surged to a market value of 20 million USD within a few hours. Solara also became the X avatar of Solana Foundation Chair Lily Liu, and this official recognition further fueled the community's enthusiasm.

The success of Solana is not a coincidence, but a perfect combination of multiple factors. First is the official endorsement, with top figures in the Solana ecosystem participating and promoting, providing the strongest trust backing for the event. Second is the explosion of Chinese meme sentiment, from Binance life to various Chinese concept coins, the enthusiasm and purchasing power of the Chinese community have been fully demonstrated recently. Third is the success of the image design; the vibrant long-haired builder girl image of “Solana” perfectly fits the young, innovative, and vibrant qualities of the Solana ecosystem.

The launch platform behind Solara, Trends, has also garnered significant market attention thanks to the success of its token launch. Many players believe that Solara's success may initiate a wave of Solana Chinese meme coin trends led by Trends. However, what Trends can achieve goes far beyond this. As an emerging launch platform that has provided another definition for “ICM”, the success of Trends this time has shown us the limitless possibilities of “information tokenization”.

Trends Creator Revenue Sharing Mechanism Ends the Era of Granular No Income

In addition to the 66 SOL rewards from the event itself, the proposer of the Solara Chinese name, muper, has already earned over $20,000 in creator income around 10:30 this morning. He expects to earn over $100,000 in creator income on the Trends platform soon and has promised to give back to the community. This is an important breakthrough in the history of meme coins, as creators can profit directly from their own ideas through the protocol mechanism for the first time.

People might think of the “Binance Life” on BSC from some time ago. The KOL Chen Jian, who proposed the well-recognized good concept “Binance Life” in the market, initially did not receive any rewards until Binance actively offered rewards and manually sent them to him. Chen Jian's idea not only brought forth the “Binance Life” that surpassed a market value of 500 million USD but also ignited the BSC meme bull market. Binance was generous, giving Chen Jian 100 BNB, a substantial reward exceeding 100,000 USD. However, this is an extremely rare example; he was very lucky to encounter Binance, a generous incentive provider. In the vast majority of cases, the income from meme tokens ends up in the pockets of the meme creators, and the creators themselves do not receive a penny.

The most famous example is the “Sad Frog” Pepe. This cultural symbol that has swept the globe has a meme coin named after it, $pepe, which currently has a market value close to 3 billion dollars, ranking 50th among all cryptocurrencies. However, Pepe's creator, Matt Furie, has not been able to gain any profits from the high market value of the pepe coin. Even more extreme is the situation where the creator gains nothing, which can lead to conflicts between the creator and the meme coin, thereby putting an already successful meme coin in a difficult position.

ChillGuy is another IP that has gone viral from TikTok to Douyin, and from abroad to domestically, with its namesake meme coin once peaking at a market value of over 500 million USD. However, at a critical moment when the market was continuously improving, the creator of ChillGuy initiated a lawsuit regarding copyright issues. As a result, market sentiment immediately reversed, leading to a severe decline. This case reveals a fundamental issue: when creators cannot benefit from their own ideas, they lack the motivation to support the development of meme coins and may even take destructive actions.

Three Typical Cases of Meme Coin Creators' Dilemmas:

Pepe (3 billion USD market value): Creator Matt Furie earns nothing, IP is used for free.

Binance Life (500 million USD market cap): Creator Chen Jian relies on Binance's active rewards, not protocol guarantees.

ChillGuy (500 million USD market cap): The creator initiates copyright litigation, market crashes.

The revenue-sharing mechanism of Trends.fun perfectly addresses the biggest problem in the meme market. Trends.fun allows creators to earn rewards through spontaneous market value discovery via its incentive mechanism. In the Solara case, we can see that Trends.fun has achieved a positive cycle: it guides and inspires a wide range of cryptocurrency players' creativity, and in the process of generating attention through creative evolution, creators gain a supportive audience. After achieving success, this relationship is maintained and creators give back to the community. Creators do not need to rely on the generosity of any specific party but directly benefit from capturing trends in social media heat within the market.

Information Capital Market Tokenization Revolution

When players hear “ICM,” their first reaction is often to think of launching platforms like Believe or icm.run. In this context, “ICM” refers to “Internet Capital Market,” which is essentially the infrastructure for Web2 companies to issue tokens and raise funds on the blockchain. On the other hand, the “ICM” created by Trends.fun refers to “Information Capital Market,” which is essentially the infrastructure for tokenizing tweets on Twitter.

Trends.fun has implemented a near-zero barrier to tokenizing tweets: users can issue tokens for any tweet on Twitter with a very simple process and smooth experience, with costs as low as about 0.016 SOL. At the same time, the platform provides a transparent data dashboard for each tweet token, covering the number of holders, real-time market value, trading dynamics, and creator information, among others. Users can create tokens based on a specific tweet link without the need to provide initial liquidity and can earn a 20% trading fee incentive.

The revolutionary aspect of this mechanism lies in its ability to quantify and financialize the value of social media content. In the past, no matter how brilliant a tweet was, the creator could only receive likes, retweets, and attention. But on Trends.fun, anyone can create tokens for tweets they believe in, and the creator automatically receives 20% of the transaction fees. This means that when a tweet sparks heated discussions and attracts a large number of transactions, the creator's income will grow proportionally with the trading volume.

As the name of the platform suggests, Trends.fun encourages users to create tokens around content and to reflect or capture real trends on social media through the performance of token prices driven by real money. Any behavior that manipulates social media interaction data (such as likes, retweets, comments, etc.) through bots or other means will be exposed before the performance of token prices. In this process, the tokens actually play a dual role: both as information filters and as value capture tools.

Everyone may think that the “Internet Capital Market” is the current track being strongly supported by Solana, but the “Information Capital Market” created by Trends.fun has also received strong backing from Solana. Investors include Solana co-founder @aeyakovenko, Solana Foundation Chair Lily Liu, Jupiter co-founders Meow, Siong, Kaito AI founder Yu Hu, LayerZero Labs co-founder Bryan Pellegrino, and Magic Eden co-founder Zhuoxun Yin, among others. This star-studded list of investors proves that the strategic value of Trends.fun has gained recognition from the most core figures in the Solana ecosystem.

Solara Launches a New Era in Content Prediction Market

Trends.fun will also support the tokenization of more social media content, such as TikTok. We can see a huge content trend prediction market already emerging and set to grow robustly. Users of Trends can either attempt to create content that aligns with trends or capture the current hot trends on social media in real-time. They can also make predictive investments in potential viral content before the trends fully form.

This is a positive cycle of content creation and even content tokenization, the most effective capture of social media trends, and a unique prediction market. The case of Solara perfectly demonstrates the potential of this mechanism. From event initiation to token explosion, the entire process is transparent and fair. Anyone can participate in proposals, and anyone can create tokens for concepts they believe in, while the market ultimately determines which concept is the most valuable through price performance.

From the perspective of market structure, the success of Solara may open a new wave of Solana Chinese meme coins. The enthusiasm and purchasing power of the Chinese community have been fully proven in recent Binance Life and various Chinese concept coins on Base. As one of the most performant public chains, Solana's low transaction fees and high throughput provide an ideal environment for meme coin trading. If more Chinese creators initiate concepts on Trends and receive community responses, Solana may become the next battleground for Chinese meme coins.

For investors, the Solara case provides a new investment perspective. The traditional meme coin investment strategy is to chase highs or buy lows after the token is launched, but under the Trends.fun model, investors can make “early investments” as soon as the tweet concept emerges. If the judgment is correct, early investors will achieve astonishing returns as the token's market value rises from tens of thousands of dollars to several million or even tens of millions of dollars. This model of “investing in ideas rather than tokens” brings new rules to the meme market.
