Has anyone checked the alpha quick wallet? Did you receive the $500 CAILA airdrop?
From MEME to ALPHA: The Evolution of CAILA Through the Eyes of an On-Chain User
As an on-chain user, I witnessed the transformation of CAILA from a meme-driven craze to a practical Alpha project, similar to ai16z on Solana or Virtuals on Base. Here is my story:
Meme Phase (February 2025 – March 2025)
When CAILA launched in February 2025, the meme culture of the $CA token swept through the BNB Chain community. @Caila_AI
Posted funny weather memes on X (like 'Rain? $CA lets you predict to the second!'), combined with the #BNB100K tag, attracting a large number of retail investors. I was inspired by the community's enthusiasm and bought $CA with 100 500USDT on PancakeSwap, with the price skyrocketing from $0.005 to $0.02, and the market cap exceeding $5M. The community shouted 'to the moon', allowing me to earn 3 times the profit. However, the CAILA in the meme phase lacked real use cases, and the price was highly volatile; I missed selling at the peak and lost out on greater profits.
Transition Phase (April 2025 – May 2025)
In April, CAILA announced a collaboration with the Nubila network to launch Weather DePIN, integrating data from decentralized weather stations. I started to pay attention to its technological potential and participated in testnet tasks (like submitting simulated weather data), earning a 500 $CA airdrop (about $3). The price of $CA fell to $0.01 due to market adjustments, but I earned a 20% APY by staking $CA on PancakeSwap, making up for some of the losses. The community gradually shifted from memes to technical discussions, and posts on X began to focus on the practical applications of AI weather forecasting.
Alpha Phase (June 2025 – Present)
In June, CAILA launched the ElizaOS framework, integrating AI agents to provide customized weather solutions for the agriculture and energy sectors. The price of $CA stabilized between $0.006 and $0.008, with a market cap of $6.78M. I subscribed to premium services with 200 $CA, obtaining local rainfall forecasts, which helped me optimize my home gardening plans. The meme contest (Caila x Jager) inspired me to create a '$CA predicts sunny weather' meme, winning a reward of 500 $CA. CAILA has evolved from a meme coin to a practical project, but I regret not holding for the long term in the early stages and missing out on significant value growth.
Insight: The evolution of CAILA has shown me how meme culture can drive traffic to tech projects, but the real Alpha comes from practicality and community governance. In the future, I look forward to CAILA's further breakthroughs in DeFi and AI.
