What is Memeapp
Memeapp is an application category that uses AI to generate APPs, gently integrates Crypto, and issues assets for them. Some people currently call it "APP coin".
Users only need to enter some description of the APP to generate an interactive front-end. Combined with MCP, provisioned components, database (blockchain), and cloud (decentralized).
MCP refers to the model context protocol. It helps the AI model connect external data and tools, and provides Agent access through the server to achieve a translator-like effect, making AI more convenient to interact with various tools and data sources without the need to develop corresponding code for the connection separately. This actually broadens the capabilities of the Agent. Problems such as data crawling/tool inaccessibility when using Manus will be solved as the server opens to the Agent in the future.
SendAI releases Solana MCP in the widely used Coding agent Cline, which allows the agent to read and write transactions on the Solana chain. This will greatly lower the threshold for future AI writing Solana-related applications.
Through these, simple logic applications can be quickly created. AI is unable to write production-level smart contracts in the short term, and contracts that have been tested by audit and time are difficult to quickly replace contracts written by AI. However, if there is a contract generation in the future, you can create a Crypto native application.
This type of app has simple functions, but it has different fun/functionality under different designers, and has extremely strong meme cultural attributes. Its prototype has long been revealed - the website on Dexscreener to link to memecoin.
Currently, Memeapp is more in the form of interactive websites and mini-games. This has inspired people's creativity. Well-known independent developer @levelsio held a Vibe coding contest on Twitter. Solana also launched a similar contest called Vibe Jam.
Why pay attention now
The logic of Crypto AI is still the ability to provide assetization through Crypto after the development of Web2 AI itself.
So what is happening on the real-world AI application side? We see that windsurf, v0, Bolt, Lovable and other products are opening a feast for the creation of the people to participate in APP (Lovable just received $15M financing in February this year). Aha moment brought by an Agent with virtual machines and MCP capabilities using Manus 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 precipitation, the availability of such tools has been greatly improved. The products that have emerged since 2025 are enough to meet the needs of such as website building, data dashboard, small games, etc. Unlike auxiliary code tools such as Cursor and Windsurf, Vibe coding products have lowered the development threshold to 0. Users can write and even debug the entire APP through natural language, bringing strong customization and cost reduction and efficiency improvement capabilities. Since then, development and application have become a "licensless" model that everyone has started.
With the development of technologies such as MCP, AI's ability to obtain data independently and create coding has been greatly improved. With the current technical level, tools with complex logic and practical utility are still lacking, but APPs with meme as the core are more than enough. Therefore, mini games, data panels, etc. are currently more popular. Software creation is thus equivalent to content creation.
Why combine it with Crypto?
The value Crypto brings to Memeapp
#Solve cold start problem
At present, one of the biggest commercialization challenges facing Memeapp is the cold start problem. With the exponential growth of the number of AI-generated applications, the application market will become more crowded in the future. How to make high-quality APP stand out and complete the accumulation of the first batch of users has become a crucial task. In this case, a fair release model similar to Pumpfun will provide the 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 Fragmentation of Property Rights
The low entrepreneurship costs and low reproduction costs of AI applications make competition fierce. At the same time, the responsibilities and power binding between creators and operators of AI applications is weak, and there is a lack of an effective benefit sharing mechanism. How to inspire creators to innovate continuously, how to protect their intellectual property rights, and how to reasonably distribute and integrate the interests of all parties have become urgent issues. Under the framework of Web3, blockchain technology provides new possibilities for solving these problems.
As an asset-based AI generation application, Memeapp truly introduces the concept of IPO into blockchain, providing a new path for creative capitalization through blockchain technology. This can not only attract more than 5.5 billion Internet users around the world, but also provide a new way of value creation and sharing for users who are about to access AI. Through blockchain, creators can ensure the transparency and traceability of property rights, while also being able to share creative achievements fairly around the world.
The various derivative gameplays of various property rights combinations that appear in the chain will also appear without surprise.
The value Memeapp brings to Crypto
The innovation of user-generated software in interactive experience, especially in the meme field, has a dimensionality reduction effect similar to short videos. Therefore, Memeapp is not only an excellent alternative to Memecoin, but also effectively releases Degen's enthusiasm for hype.
For example, Memeapp construction activities with the theme of "morning routine" can stimulate people's interest and creativity. I believe that the construction of award-winning works will make people curious and want to find out how these interesting applications are presented.
In essence, Memeapp fills the gap in 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, although models like Pumpfun delegate the right to asset issuance to all crypto users, they have caused excessive confusion and lacked an effective screening mechanism. Young P players receive rewards by taking on the initial screening responsibility for asset discovery, but users still need to rely on the background of the issuer, contract address, Twitter dynamics and website quality to judge reliability.
This is also one of the healthier and more sustainable industry influences of Memecoin compared to Memecoin. Through decentralization and a more standardized approach, Memeapp can provide users with more certainty, thus bringing a more positive driving role to the entire crypto industry.
Comparing the launch data of pumpfun, dev.fun is token launch through pump.fun, while the graduation rate of dev.fun is about 4.5%, which is significantly higher than the data below 1% of pump.fun. If we define the duration of the token price after being launched from the inner disk, the average survival time of the dev.fun token 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 aspects of the industry will connect everyone, organization and ecology by building their own applications, and the chain effect will be far beyond everyone's imagination.
Colosseum founder and investor of @devfunpump @crabbylions created a grants platform called rick through AI, with its tokens as a reward token for high-quality applications on devfun. Then it quickly gave birth to a large number of applications surrounding the rick theme.
This means that for the Crypto industry itself alone, such platforms can simplify and tokenize all behaviors and activities in our work, completely subverting the way we build the industry.
What's next for Memeapp
As the indigenous people 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 be just 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 writing contracts is a direction that many teams dream of, but the security of contracts is crucial. Therefore, compared with the ordinary Vibe coding platform, the threshold for AI to write contracts will be higher. Nevertheless, the EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) platform is relatively friendly, such as open source contract libraries such as OpenZeppelin, which have enabled AI to easily create basic template contracts. However, once AI can write complex contracts, it will unlock more innovative ways of playing, bringing new possibilities to the entire crypto world.
For example, the current token generation mode of Pump, including token specifications, Bonding curve parameters, inner disk size, and liquidity migration methods, are all written dead models. If there is a launchpad, the user can talk to the AI to write a contract and set different parameters and gameplay, it will stimulate endless imagination.
A large number of AI infrastructures that lack use cases will launch similar products. This is a paradigm transformation from transaction-centric Agents to application scenarios.
In the long run, the mastery of contract writing capabilities can allow AI to further penetrate Crypto. Remember that the two most important organizational structures in blockchain, L2 and DAO, are essentially contracts. Then Ether talks about the full automatic issuance and customization/differentiation of the chain that has been discussed for several years, and it will be concrete.
@Ch40sChain is a pioneer in this direction, built by the @NethermindEth team. It is worth mentioning that this is a project led by the current executive director of the Ethereum Foundation.
In addition to the development platform, it is very likely that creators of these "software" content will be built:
#New distribution channels
Similar to Steam's impact on indie games, Memeapp will likely have similar distribution platforms that control exposure and pricing power from top to bottom. This type of platform will gather the output of Memeapp tools from different platforms and carry out personalized pushes to promote the appreciation of projects issued by coin and promote the launch of projects that have not issued coins as soon as possible.
In terms of traffic exposure, projects similar to @KaitoAI Launchpad, focusing on the distribution of the Memeapp platform, may gain more opportunities in the future and become an important force in promoting the development of platform 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. This type of organization will vertically integrate developer resources through a bottom-up approach, promote the convergence of APP business needs, and even promote the merger and innovation of certain tokens.
At present, Memeapp Developer Guilds like @buidldao_ have emerged. By integrating the value of a group of developers into a token, they provide stronger publicity and promotion advantages for their APPs, and prompt more innovative chemical reactions among developers.
Projects worth paying attention to
There are many teams working in this direction at present.
@devfunpump- An 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, and the model is very understanding of Crypto-related propt, the product guidance is very effective, and the user experience in 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 an excellent product available.
@alchemistAIapp- The first platform to propose AI generation applications on Solana, and now it has just completed the update of V3. It is one of the few products that survived the previous AI trend and has strong ability to build native applications. There is currently no experience in tokenizing APPs. There is a certain platform token economics, and its $80M market cap has captured a considerable portion of the market pricing, which has been listed on Binance Alpha.
@tryoharaAI- The AI generation application platform on Base, the construction process is also very silky. The UI is simpler without special settings, but it is also functionally sufficient. There is currently no experience in tokenizing APPs.
@0xtarobase- It is still in the stealth stage and is an AI generation application platform that wants to further implement contract writing capabilities.
There are many similar projects in the Stealth stage. Including infrastructure, upstream and downstream, mentioned organizational innovation, etc. Memeapp summer will arrive anytime.
For Memeapp, my thesis is very simple: the nihilism brought by Memecoin is enriched by AI writing applications. The APP explosion problem brought by AI will be solved by Crypto assetization. The C-end has strong perception, low threshold, solves real needs, and creates legitimate assets. This is the best integration of Crypto AI I have ever seen.
