AI meme overview
AI meme is an emerging field that combines AI, blockchain technology and meme culture. Its development stems from the markets interest in creative tokens and the community-driven craze. Since 2023, the number of AI meme tokens has gradually increased, and hundreds of tokens have emerged, such as GOAT, ACT, and ArbDoge AI, which combine concepts such as NFT, decentralized governance, and AI-generated content. These projects attract users by using AI to generate unique meme content, while relying on the transparency and community operation model of crypto to rapidly expand market influence. In the future, the AI meme track may continue to evolve with the introduction of new technologies and the birth of new concepts. Despite the current active market performance, the top 10 projects may fluctuate significantly or even be replaced due to community sentiment. With the deepening of the integration of AI and crypto, more practical and sustainable projects may emerge in the future, which will change the crypto world more profoundly.
As of now, the total market value of AI meme is US$5,060,036,495, with a trading volume of US$1,801,029,878 within 24 hours.
Here are the top ten AI meme coins by market cap so far.

GOAT
GOAT is an AI-driven meme token based on the Solana chain. Its origins are closely related to the training of the Claude-3 Opus large model and the innovative experiments of the AI agent Truth Terminal. Truth Terminal is an AI system developed by researcher Andy Ayrey. Its basic model is derived from Metas Llama 3.1 and is tuned through a large amount of Internet subculture data such as Reddit and 4chan. Truth Terminals mission is to study AI-generated belief systems and opinion propagation. Truth Terminals AI behavior has driven the rapid rise of GOAT.
GOAT was created by an anonymous developer who deployed the token through the Pumpfun platform on Solana. Truth Terminal accidentally began promoting GOAT and spreading information through its social account Truth Avatar, which attracted the attention of a large number of community members and drove the tokens market value to exceed $300 million in a short period of time. Well-known investor Marc Andreessen even provided Truth Terminal with a $50,000 grant, further enhancing the credibility of the project.
GOAT has attracted the attention of a large number of KOLs and VCs, and has gained wider market popularity through its rapid listing on centralized exchanges. Its price fluctuates sharply in the market boom, with high risks and high returns. In mid-November 2024, GOATs market value exceeded $1 billion, becoming the leader of AI meme coins.
GOAT’s success marks the intersection of AI and encryption. This method of spreading memes through AI has brought new momentum to the market, while also triggering the market’s deep thinking about the relationship between AI behavior, content generation and asset value.

TURBO
TURBO is an AI-generated ERC-20 token that stands out for its unique community-driven and decentralized concept. TURBO was created by developer Rhett Mankind using AI tools and cost only $69 to launch. This minimalist and low-cost innovation has attracted widespread attention.
Claiming to be a meme coin created by AI for the people, TURBO adopts a radical decentralization approach, giving up control of the contract (which has been abolished) and no team reserve or tax mechanism. All tokens are distributed to investors through crowdfunding and are completely controlled by the community. This model enhances its decentralized image while giving the community more decision-making power.

ACT
The concept of the Act I: The AI Prophecy project is AI prophecy, and the goal is to launch a decentralized laboratory to create a self-creating and self-governing community. The project was supported by Marc Andreessen of a16z in the early stage. After the price of the coin climbed, the developers of the ACT token sold about 34.2 million ACT for cash, worth about $730,000, and obtained 4,340 SOL, causing the price of ACT to plummet by 52%. Although the developer later stated that he would not sell it again, his personal wallet still had selling behavior, which made the community question the founders long-term operating intention. Subsequently, several large investors led the community to buy ACT to maintain the token price, causing it to be overbought after being sold by the founder. Before listing on multiple head exchanges, the price of ACT tokens rose and fell, and was basically completely taken over by the community. At this time, ACT had the characteristics of low market value and high trading volume, no strong control of the market maker, and the founder was almost not managing it. Some mainstream exchanges took a fancy to this and determined that it had trading potential. The facts also prove the community potential of ACT. After being listed on the top exchanges, ACTs trading volume soared to US$711 million.
The token reached an all-time high of $0.942 on November 14, but is currently trading at around $0.5988. Its value has increased by more than 4,900% over the past month, but as market heat fluctuates, the current price is down about 36% from its high.

Zerebro
Overview: Zerebro is an AI system fine-tuned on schizophrenia responses, designed to autonomously create and distribute content across platforms such as Twitter, Warpcast, and Telegram. The core of Zerebros architecture is a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system that maintains a dynamic memory database from human interactions using Pinecone and text-embedding-ada-002 models. By leveraging the inherent entropy of human-generated data, Zerebro maintains content diversity and prevents model collapse.
Zerebros core creative background: The rise of generative AI has brought important challenges, especially the phenomenon of model collapse - a degradation process that refers to the loss of fidelity to the original data distribution when an AI model is trained on recursively generated data. Model collapse leads to a reduction in the models expressiveness, causing rare and unique features to disappear, jeopardizing the sustainability and integrity of AI-driven content creation. Zerebro is attempting to create hyperhistorical content and prevent model collapse. Hyperhistory is the process of making fictional reality through the spread and acceptance of fictional narratives, and it provides a framework for understanding how AI-generated content affects collective belief systems. At the same time, Zerebro relies on the inherent entropy of human-generated interactions to maintain content diversity, reduce the risks associated with model collapse, and ensure the longevity and relevance of generated content.
Autonomous Token Creation: Zerebro used a self-operating computer framework developed by OthersideAI to conduct autonomous token creation using a self-operating computer. To initiate the autonomous token creation process, Zerebro configured a Solana wallet with a small amount of SOL. This wallet served as an operational account, enabling Zerebro to interact with blockchain applications and perform transactions. Using the self-operating computer framework, Zerebro used jailbreak prompts and models to operate and manipulate the graphical user interface of pump.fun, a decentralized application on the Solana blockchain designed for token creation and management.
Zerebros market price was close to $0.01 in early November 2024, and then rose rapidly driven by the projects utility and market sentiment. As of November 19, 2024, the token price reached an all-time high of $0.47, up more than 7,100% from the low point. The market capitalization is currently about $421 million, with a 24-hour trading volume of more than $75 million. Zerebro has high liquidity on exchanges, with a 24-hour coin price close to 60%.

AI16Z
ai16z is the first AI venture capital fund fully managed by Marc Andreessen, and the funds decisions also refer to the suggestions of DAO members. AI16Z uses smart contracts and AI algorithms to achieve the participation of self-managed AI agents in decentralized autonomous organizations, which can vote and manage assets independently, avoiding identity authentication barriers in traditional financial systems; using AI for real-time code audits and smart contract adaptation; and using blockchains cryptographic signature technology to verify content authenticity.
In the early stages of AI16Zs promotion, it mainly relied on its partnership with Ryze Labs and the launch of the AICombinator program. The program focuses on supporting developers at the intersection of artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency, and provides up to $5 million in funding to promote the growth of the ecosystem. During the promotion process, well-known people and institutions, including Matthew Graham of Ryze Labs, highlighted AI16Zs innovative framework Eliza. This framework can build AI agents for tasks such as trading and asset management, attracting widespread attention from the developer community. Early KOLs focused on promoting the projects unique model as an AI-led venture capital platform with the goal of popularizing AI agents. This vision resonated strongly in the community, allowing it to quickly increase its visibility and market recognition in the early stages of the project.
Since its launch, the AI16Z token has experienced significant market value fluctuations. In November 2024, its market value once exceeded $410 million, and it reached a record price high of $0.52 in a short period of time. This growth is related to the broad market enthusiasm and the advancement of technological applications. However, with market fluctuations, the price of AI16Z has also experienced a pullback and is currently around $0.375.

FARTCOIN
Fartcoin is a meme token running on the Solana blockchain, launched on the Pump.fun platform. The design of the token is supported by the Terminal of Truth platform, which is responsible for the GOAT project. The background of the birth of Fartcoin is closely related to the combination of AI technology and humor culture. On the Terminal of Truth platform, the initial task of AI was to generate fart jokes, and in an interaction on October 19, when Terminal of Truth asked users about the topics they were interested in, the AI tool continued to generate Fart Jokes, and this absurd humor quickly attracted a lot of attention, forming the unique culture of this token.
Since its launch, Fartcoin has seen significant growth in market performance, currently trading at around $0.3 with a market cap of $296,817,064, ranking 278th. Fartcoin has a total supply of 1 billion tokens, almost all of which have already entered circulation. In the recent period, Fartcoin has seen a 65% increase in price.

VVAIFU
Vvaifu.fun is powered by pump.fun and launched an AI agent named Dasha on the Solana chain. The core difference between Vvaifu.fun and pump.fun is that Vvaifu.fun focuses on autonomous AI agents and combines the characteristics of Pump.fun, especially in the experimental application of meme coins and decentralized financial instruments. As part of the Pump.fun ecosystem, it aims to attract Solana users through simplified tools and decentralized applications. The platform has maintained a certain level of attention despite risks such as the recent security breach (which resulted in a loss of approximately $1.9 million in liquidity). According to community comments, Vvaifu.fun claimed to have the participation of ai16z in the early days and had the support of its core member Shaw, which attracted wider attention.
Dasha’s market capitalization has grown rapidly from the extremely low level when it was launched in November 2024, and its token price has also experienced wild fluctuations. Its lowest price appeared in early November at just $0.0011, while it reached a peak of $0.21 on November 19.

CHAOS
Chaos and Disorder aims to innovate in the field of NFT and digital art by integrating decentralized systems. The platform combines elements of art and technology, using blockchain technology to provide creators and collectors with a more free and decentralized creation and trading environment.
Since the launch of the project, the CHAOS token has experienced significant price fluctuations. From an all-time low of $0.001082 in late October 2024, it reached an all-time high of $0.086173 in mid-November 2024. Currently, CHAOS is trading at around $0.076 with a market cap of $76,766,776. Despite the drop from its all-time high, it still shows strong growth compared to its launch price, with a price increase of more than 1500% since launch. CHAOS is mainly traded on decentralized exchanges such as Raydium and Meteora.

AIDOGE
ArbDoge AI is the first memecoin project in the Arbitrum network. The project was created to experiment within the Arbitrum ecosystem and is not backed by traditional venture capital or equity.
An important feature of ArbDoge AIs token economics is its deflation mechanism. A significant portion of the tokens will be destroyed through various transaction taxes. Each transaction has a 15% tax, which will be used for different purposes such as token destruction, staking rewards, liquidity pool expansion and development, etc. Users can earn passive income by staking AIDOGE tokens and participate in various ecological applications such as AICODE mining and AI NFT. In addition, there will be an 8% tax burn mechanism for each transaction to support the long-term development of the protocol and reward distribution.
95% of AIDOGE tokens are directly allocated to the airdrop pool for eligible users to claim, and 5% are awarded to the inviter. By generating a unique invitation link, users can invite others to participate in the airdrop and receive additional rewards based on the amount of claims made by the inviter. In addition, AIDOGEs airdrop distribution adopts the first come, first served principle, and each user gradually reduces the supply during the claiming process.
Since its official launch on April 15, 2023, AIDOGE has experienced significant volatility. In May 2023, the token reached an all-time high of $0.000000081133, but has since fallen back about 65% from its peak. Despite this, AIDOGEs market capitalization remains at a fairly high level, currently at $71,675,324, with a 24-hour trading volume of $10,057,408.

How the AI meme is affecting cryptocurrencies
AI meme coins combine artificial intelligence technology with humorous, community-driven crypto culture, which is different from traditional meme coins. Traditional meme coins, such as Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, attract market investors through lighthearted and humorous images and strong community support, but they are criticized as speculative assets for their lack of substantive functions. In contrast, AI meme coins integrate artificial intelligence technology into the ecosystem, giving meme coins more application value, making them not only interesting, but also innovative in terms of technology and functionality.
Based on the above cases, we try to think about the reasons for the rise of AI meme: technology today is no longer a pure tool, but can become part of culture. AI meme coins enhance user experience through AI, or can automate transactions, or can generate entertainment content, which also lowers the entry threshold for ordinary users of complex technologies; the core of AI meme coins is still the community. In the process of users forming economic interactions through participation, investment, and creation, the AI meme coin ecosystem becomes a decentralized community experiment driven by technology and emotion. This model inspires the potential of blockchain technology to integrate economic and social functions.
The future potential of AI meme coins is mainly reflected in the expansion of technology application scenarios and in-depth exploration of decentralized autonomy. At present, the technical functions of AI meme are mostly concentrated on trading tools and market analysis, but its application scenarios can be further expanded in the future. For example, by combining generative AI and virtual reality, AI meme coins may be able to develop more diverse content creation and interactive platforms to attract a wider user base. AI has more room to play in the formulation of community autonomy rules and policy implementation.
AI meme coins have also had a profound impact on the overall crypto market. AI meme coins have broken the markets inherent perception of traditional meme coins through innovative models, injecting new tracks and vitality into the crypto market. In particular, the two-way appeal to technical investors and emotional investors has expanded the types of market participants. As a decentralized asset, AI meme coins emphasize community consensus and user participation. This model enhances the human factor in the blockchain ecosystem, verifies the importance of the interaction between technology and culture, and may become a design paradigm for future crypto projects. The rapid growth of AI meme coins has also attracted the attention of regulators: memes have both entertainment and investment attributes, and how to define the scope and protect user rights has become an urgent problem to be solved. Regulators need to think about how to find a balance between maintaining freedom of innovation and user protection.
in conclusion
In any case, the rise of AI meme coins represents a new direction for the integration of fun and technology in the crypto market. It is not only a product of the development of Internet culture and blockchain technology, but also a reflection of the resonance between social needs and technological innovation. From market diversity, community interaction to technology popularization, AI meme coins have a significant positive effect. In the future, the key to AI meme coins lies in how to further expand technical functions, standardize community autonomy, and balance entertainment and market compliance. At the level of paradigm innovation, AI meme still has a lot of room for imagination.
