These days, there's definitely a pattern forming in the meme coin market.

In the early days, just having a funny name was enough to get traction.

But now, it feels like the trend is evolving toward projects that combine storytelling, character identity, and strong communities.

Some of the standout examples are $WIF and $BOME in the Solana ecosystem.

And more recently, coins like $POPCAT, $MANEKI, $PENG, and $DALPY are gaining attention by putting a unique character at the forefront and building around their community.

These types of coins seem less focused on short-term pumps,

and more on how well they can build a viral ecosystem—through memes, community-generated content, and narrative expansion.

Personally, I think quieter market phases like now

are when these projects are quietly building up momentum behind the scenes,

and that's why I keep an eye on them.
