The Rise of Virtual Ecosystem Meme Coins and the Market Self-Cleansing Mechanism

Recently, some eye-catching meme coin projects have appeared on Virtual's Genesis Launches platform, breaking the previous project pattern of the platform. Among them, the VIRGEN coin launched by the well-known AI Agent Vader has attracted widespread attention.

VIRGEN coin, as a publicly issued meme coin, demonstrates a friendly attitude towards the community in its issuance mechanism. In addition to the presale and liquidity parts, the project team also conducted airdrops for users staking in the Virtual ecosystem and certain holders of classic meme coins. It is also worth mentioning that VIRGEN coin has no lock-up period, which means participants can trade immediately after it is listed.

Despite concerns about the risk of sell-offs, the sale of VIRGEN coin was successfully completed. Surprisingly, after the token was listed, it not only did not crash, but continued to rise. The project team also conducted additional airdrops for loyal holders and used profits to buy back tokens. This series of actions quickly made VIRGEN coin a benchmark meme coin in the Virtual ecosystem.

Following closely, another meme coin project called NOTHING has also attracted attention. This project is not just a simple meme coin; it has designed a unique mechanism: to "permanently" lock the tokens, allowing stakers to continuously earn points released by the platform. The successful launch of NOTHING and the subsequent airdrop exceeded market expectations.

The success of these two meme coin projects stems, on one hand, from their generous mechanism design, and on the other hand, from the sincerity and actions of the project teams, which stands in stark contrast to most meme coin projects that are primarily profit-driven.

However, this successful model is difficult to replicate and may also lead to an influx of some low-quality projects. To maintain the platform ecosystem, the best solution is to keep the permissionless nature of project issuance while allowing market mechanisms to naturally eliminate low-quality projects. This requires a group of high-quality participants to consciously act to exclude bad projects.

It has been proven that the market does exhibit self-cleaning capabilities. After VIRGEN and NOTHING, some uninspired meme coin projects also attempted to launch on the platform. The first one, although successfully launched, saw its price plummet after listing; while the subsequent projects were directly ignored by the market.

This market reaction is gratifying, showing that the Virtual ecosystem is forming a healthy self-regulating mechanism. It is hoped that this positive atmosphere can be sustained, allowing the Virtual platform to establish a unique culture and strong ecological barriers, avoiding becoming just another speculative platform.
