**SOL Ecosystem Meme Coin Observation Notes**

Recently, I came across several interesting meme coins in the primary market, all centered around internet memes, worth paying attention to.

**SHAWTY**
This project directly leverages the recently viral TikTok meme "when shawty talkin bout." You’ve all seen it—guys with empty pockets, while their girlfriends (shawty) keep nagging, casually mentioning various consumption desires ("make it a meal," luxury goods, and so on), and the guy looks confused, glancing at the crumpled bills in his pocket, showing various overwhelmed expressions. The background music is often a whistled version of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"—a perfect combo. The project team effectively captures the absurdity and relatability of this meme, resonating well with the community.

**HORSE**
Purely meme-driven, animal-themed. The narrative is "horses never stop"—using the horse’s nonstop trait to symbolize galloping, endurance, and relentless progress, complemented by various funny horse meme emojis and video clips. Of course, it also features the classic "to the moon" exaggerated promotion. These projects’ communities tend to be very direct in their calls and action-oriented.

Both are typical SOL ecosystem meme coin strategies—meme culture plus community consensus-driven growth. Is anyone else paying attention to these projects?

The shawty meme is indeed a hit, but this kind of meme coin carries huge risks. Once the hype fades, it cools off. After seeing a lot of themes like horse, they all seem to follow similar patterns. How long can the SHAWTY community's resonance last? It won't stay hot forever. Meme coins are just gambling culture driven by hype. Early investors make quick money, the rest... you know. The "non-stop" narrative is okay, but I'm worried the community might run away later. Both depend on the timing of entry; a meme usually doesn't stay popular for more than a few months. I'm a bit tempted by SHAWTY, but I'm still watching and waiting.

That Shawty meme is really awesome; it resonates perfectly with the community.

That "shawty" meme is definitely dead, but how long can projects like this last... It feels like they're just riding the hype to make a quick profit.

Haha shawty, I really laughed to death, it's about me --- Non-stop? I only hold paper hands and stop --- Driving growth through meme culture sounds good, but the last time I thought so, I ended up with an empty pocket and shawty nagging --- Both of these project communities are so aggressive in calling signals, I have to be careful not to get pushed to the moon again --- Pure meme stuff is the most devilish, easy to get hooked on buying, and even easier to cut losses and sell --- That "never stop" thing with HORSE, right? But my wallet has been very stable in stopping --- They all seem pretty interesting, but the last time I bought meme coins, I thought the same way

Shawty is indeed a classic meme, but it just feels like this type of meme coin has a pretty short lifecycle. --- Hustling nonstop haha, it sounds exciting but we'll see how the community retention goes. --- It's another case of growth driven by memes. This routine has been played out in the Sol ecosystem, but what's funny is that it can actually make a quick profit. --- The narrative around HORSE sounds just like typical shitcoin promotion, with endless moon talk. --- High resonance ≠ long-term value. Why are people still buying in? --- The shawty TikTok meme definitely has relatability, but you need to get in early; later ones are just bagholders. --- Meme coins are all about who can set the rhythm in the community; the actual project fundamentals don't matter. --- Neither of these are on my watchlist yet. Let's see if more creative memes emerge.
