What is Memeapp
Memeapp is a category of applications that generates APP capabilities based on AI, lightly integrates Crypto, and issues assets for it. Some people currently call it "APP coin."
Users only need to enter some descriptions of the APP to generate an interactive front end. Combine MCP, pre-built components, database (blockchain), and cloud (decentralization) for rapid deployment.
MCP refers to the Model Context Protocol, which helps AI models connect to external data and tools. It provides Agent access through the server, which is similar to a translator, allowing AI to interact with various tools and data sources more conveniently without the need to develop corresponding code for the connection. This actually greatly broadens the capabilities of the Agent. Problems such as data crawling and tool access when using Manus will be solved as the server opens to the Agent in the future.
SendAI released Solana MCP in the widely used coding agent Cline, which enables the agent to read and write transactions on the Solana chain. This will greatly reduce the threshold for AI to write Solana-related applications in the future.
Through these, simple logic applications can be quickly created. AI cannot write production-level smart contracts in the short term, and contracts that have been audited and tested by time are difficult to be quickly replaced by contracts written by AI. However, if contracts can be generated in the future, Crypto-native applications can be created.
This type of app has simple functions, but has different levels of fun/functionality under different designers, and has strong meme cultural attributes. Its prototype has already appeared - Dexscreener links to the memecoin website.
Currently, Memeapps are more often in the form of interactive websites and mini-games. This has stimulated people’s creativity. Well-known independent developer @levelsio held a Vibe coding competition on Twitter. Solana also launched a similar competition called Vibe Jam.
Why you should pay attention now
The logic of Crypto AI is currently still to provide assetization capabilities through Crypto after the development of Web2 AI itself.
So what is happening in the real world of AI applications? We see that products such as windsurf, v0, Bolt, and Lovable are opening a feast of national participation in APP creation (Lovable just received $15M in financing in February this year). The Aha moment brought by using agents such as Manus with virtual machines and MCP capabilities has given us a new definition of software development. The innovation brought by such applications is called "Vibe coding" in English, and writing code has changed from moving bricks to creating.
After several years of development, the usability of such tools has been greatly improved. Products that have emerged since 2025 are sufficient to meet needs such as website building, data dashboards, and small games. Unlike auxiliary code tools such as Cursor and Windsurf, Vibe coding products reduce the development threshold to 0. Users can complete the entire APP writing and even debugging through natural language, bringing powerful customization and cost-saving and efficiency-enhancing capabilities. Since then, application development has become a "permission-free" model that everyone can get started with.
With the development of technologies such as MCP, AI's ability to independently acquire data and create codes has been greatly improved. Although the current technical level still lacks tools with complex logic and practical utility, APPs with meme as the core are more than enough. Therefore, small games and data panels are currently more popular. Software creation is now equivalent to content creation.
Why combine with Crypto?
The value that Crypto brings to Memeapp
#Solve the cold start problem
Currently, one of the biggest commercial challenges facing Memeapp is the cold start problem. With the exponential growth in the number of AI-generated applications, the application market will become more crowded in the future. How to make high-quality apps stand out and accumulate the first batch of users will become a crucial task. In this case, a fair launch model similar to Pumpfun will provide an ideal solution for Memeapp. This model not only ensures fair participation of initial users, but also effectively promotes growth in the cold start phase.
#The Challenge of Fragmented Property Rights
The low startup and reproduction costs of AI applications have led to fierce competition. At the same time, the binding of responsibilities and rights between creators and operators of AI applications is weak, and there is a lack of effective benefit-sharing mechanisms. How to motivate creators to continue to innovate, how to protect their intellectual property rights, and how to reasonably distribute and integrate the interests of all parties have become urgent issues to be resolved. Under the framework of Web3, blockchain technology provides new possibilities for solving these problems.
As an asset-based AI-generated application, Memeapp truly introduces the concept of IPO into the blockchain, and provides a new path for the capitalization of creativity through blockchain technology. This will not only attract more than 5.5 billion Internet users worldwide, but also provide a new way of value creation and sharing for the user groups that are about to access AI. Through blockchain, creators can ensure the transparency and traceability of property rights, and can also fairly share the results of their creations around the world.
It will not be surprising that various derivative gameplays of various property rights combinations on the chain will appear.
The value that Memeapp brings to Crypto
The innovation of user-generated software in interactive experience, especially in the field of meme, has a dimensionality reduction effect similar to that of short videos. Therefore, Memeapp is not only an excellent alternative to Memecoin, but also can effectively release the hype enthusiasm of Degen.
For example, the Memeapp building activity with the theme of "morning routine" can stimulate people's interest and creativity. I believe that the construction of the winning works will make people curious and want to find out how these interesting applications are presented.
Essentially, Memeapp fills the gap in the decentralization of asset issuance capabilities. In the early days of the crypto world, only developers who developed valuable products were eligible to issue assets to capture the value they created. However, models like Pumpfun, while delegating the right to issue assets to all crypto users, have caused excessive confusion and lacked an effective screening mechanism. P will be rewarded by taking on the initial screening responsibility for asset discovery, but users still need to rely on information such as the issuer's background, contract address, Twitter dynamics, and website quality to judge reliability.
This is one of the reasons why Memeapp has a healthier and more sustainable industry influence than Memecoin. Through decentralization and a more standardized approach, Memeapp can provide users with more certainty, thereby bringing a more positive boost to the entire crypto industry.
Comparing the launch data of pumpfun, dev.fun launched its tokens through pump.fun, and the graduation rate of dev.fun tokens is about 4.5%, which is significantly higher than the data of pump.fun which is far below 1%. If we define the duration of the token price after launching from the inner disk to remain above the inner disk market value, the current average survival time of dev.fun tokens is about 12 days, which is much higher than the three days of pump.fun. Therefore, it can be seen that Memeapp is of higher quality and sustainability than Memecoin.
Soon, participants in all links of the industry will connect all people, organizations and ecosystems by building their own applications, and the chain effect will far exceed anyone's imagination.
@crabbylions, the founder of Colosseum and an investor of @devfunpump, created a grants platform called rick through AI, whose tokens are used as reward tokens for high-quality applications on devfun. Subsequently, a large number of applications centered around the theme of rick were quickly born.
This means that, for the Crypto industry itself alone, such platforms can simplify and tokenize all behaviors and activities in our work processes, completely subverting the way we build the industry.
What’s next for Memeapp
As natives gradually appreciate the charm of Memeapp (I believe this will happen soon), Memeapp is expected to develop into a more powerful APP Coin platform. In the future, it will not only be a simple application, but will carry more complex logical contracts and be built on AI and Crypto native infrastructure to promote the upgrade of the entire ecosystem.
AI contract writing is a dream of many teams, but the security of contracts is crucial. Therefore, compared with the ordinary Vibe coding platform, the threshold for AI contract writing is higher. Despite this, the EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) platform is relatively friendly. For example, open source contract libraries such as OpenZeppelin have enabled AI to easily create basic template contracts. However, once AI is able to write complex contracts, it will unlock more innovative gameplay and bring new possibilities to the entire crypto world.
For example, the current token generation model of Pump, including token specifications, bonding curve parameters, internal disk size, and liquidity migration methods, are all hard-coded. If there is a launchpad, users can talk to AI to write contracts and set different parameters and gameplay, which will inspire endless imagination.
A large number of AI infrastructures that lack use cases will launch similar products. This is a paradigm shift for on-chain AI from transaction-centric Agents to application scenarios-centric.
In the long run, the mastery of contract writing capabilities will allow AI to further penetrate Crypto. Please remember that the two most important organizational structures in blockchain, L2 and DAO, are essentially contracts. Then the full-automatic issuance and customization/differentiation of chains that Ethereum has been talking about for several years will become concrete.
@Ch40sChain is a pioneer in this direction, built by the @NethermindEth team. It is worth mentioning that this is a project once led by the current executive director of the Ethereum Foundation.
In addition to the development platform, two types of organizations will most likely be built around these "software" content creators:
#New distribution channels
Similar to the impact of Steam on independent games, Memeapp will likely have similar distribution platforms, which control exposure and pricing from top to bottom. Such platforms will aggregate the output of Memeapp tools from different platforms and push personalized push notifications, driving the value-added of projects that have issued tokens and promoting the launch of projects that have not issued tokens as soon as possible.
In terms of traffic exposure, projects similar to @KaitoAI Launchpad, which focus on the distribution of the Memeapp platform, may gain more opportunities in the future and become an important force in promoting the development of platforms and content creators.
#Developer Guild DAO
Similar to the game guilds in the Gamefi era, Memeapp may also have a guild DAO focused on Memeapp developers. Such organizations will vertically integrate developer resources in a bottom-up manner, promote the integration of APP business needs, and even promote the merger and innovation of certain tokens.
At present, Memeapp developer guilds such as @buidldao_ have emerged. By integrating the value of a group of developers into one token, they provide stronger publicity and promotion advantages for their apps and promote more innovative chemical reactions among developers.
Noteworthy projects
There are already many teams working towards this direction.
@devfunpump - AI generated application platform on Solana. When publishing an application, you need to publish or bind a token on Pump.fun. The product design has the feeling of Pump.fun. The model understands Crypto-related prompts very well. The product guidance is very effective, and the user experience during the construction process is excellent. The developer community on the platform is very active, and the meme culture is also very good. It is currently a relatively good product available.
@alchemistAIapp - The first platform to propose AI-generated applications on Solana. It has just completed the V3 update and is one of the few products that survived the last AI boom. It has a strong ability to build native applications. There is no experience of APP tokenization yet. There is a certain platform token economics. Its $80M market value token has captured a considerable part of the market pricing and has been listed on Binance Alpha.
@tryoharaAI - AI-generated application platform on Base, the building process is also very smooth. The UI is relatively simple without special settings, but it is functional enough. There is no experience of APP tokenization yet.
@0xtarobase- Still in the stealth stage, it is an AI-generated application platform that wants to further implement contract writing capabilities.
There are many similar projects in the Stealth stage, including infrastructure, upstream and downstream, and the organizational innovation mentioned above. Memeapp summer will be here at any time.
For Memeapp, my thesis is very simple: the nihilism brought by Memecoin is enriched by AI writing applications. The problem of APP explosion caused by AI is solved by Crypto assetization. The C-end has strong perception, low threshold, solves real needs, and creates legitimate assets. This is the best fusion of Crypto AI I have ever seen.
