在今年的爆炸性開始之後，最近幾個月的模因硬幣市場有所放緩。但是，仍然有幾個有前途的項目出現，有趣的是，在未來幾個月中，哪些項目可以繼續吸引哪些項目。

這是對產生重大影響的兩個最新模因硬幣的仔細研究。

A Solana-based token that's combining the hot topics of AI and venture capital. The project's name is a playful mashup of venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and the AI hype that's sweeping Silicon Valley in 2024.

一個基於Solana的令牌，將AI和Venture Capital的熱門話題結合在一起。該項目的名稱是風險投資公司Andreessen Horowitz（A16Z）和AI Hype的嬉戲混搭，該炒作在2024年席捲了矽谷。

The story of AI16Z is one of remarkable speed. It was launched in August 2024 and quickly began to gain steam among Solana traders. By January 2025, the token had hit an all-time high of $2.48 and briefly clocked in at a market cap of over $2.5 billion.

AI16Z的故事是驚人的速度之一。它於2024年8月推出，並迅速開始在Solana Traders中獲得動力。到2025年1月，代幣達到了2.48美元的歷史最高點，並以超過25億美元的市值短暫付出。

The project also drew attention for its active community, which participates in regular AMAs and polls on X (formerly Twitter).

該項目還引起了其活躍社區的關注，該社區參加了X（以前為Twitter）的常規AMA和民意調查。

On the other side of the cultural spectrum is Pudgy Penguins, a project that began in 2021 with a collection of whimsical NFT avatars featuring pudgy penguins in various colorful outfits and headwear.

在文化範圍的另一端是矮胖的企鵝，該項目始於2021年，其中包括一系列異想天開的NFT化身，其中包括各種五顏六色的服裝和頭飾。

The turning point for Pudgy Penguins came in 2022, when entrepreneur Luca Netz bought the brand out of a legal dispute and began transforming it into a household name with ambitions that extend far beyond blockchain gaming or Web3.

矮胖的企鵝的轉折點是在2022年，當時企業家盧卡·奈茨（Luca Netz）從法律糾紛中購買了該品牌，並開始將其轉變為一個雄心勃勃的家喻戶曉的名字，遠遠超出了區塊鏈遊戲或Web3。

By 2024, Pudgy Penguins products were not only thriving in digital marketplaces but also on retail shelves, with merchandise appearing in major chains like Walmart and Target. This real-world crossover culminated in December 2024 with the launch of the Pengu token on Solana, which quickly drew attention by clocking in at a market cap of $781 million in early May 2025.

到2024年，矮胖的企鵝產品不僅在數字市場中而且在零售貨架上蓬勃發展，商品出現在沃爾瑪和塔吉特等主要連鎖店中。這款現實世界的跨界車在2024年12月在Solana上推出了Pengu Token，該公司在2025年5月上旬以7.81億美元的價格發起了7.81億美元的收入來引起人們的注意。

What fuels the growth of Pudgy Penguins isn't mere nostalgia or collectibility; it's a brand that has evolved into a storytelling and merchandising powerhouse, backed by a deeply loyal community known as "The Huddle."

富含矮胖企鵝的增長的是什麼不僅僅是懷舊或可收藏性；這個品牌已經發展成為一個講故事和商品的強國，並得到了一個被稱為“ huddle”的深厚忠誠社區的支持。

While both AI16Z and Pengu operate in different subgenres of crypto culture—one is AI-first and the other is community-and-brand-driven—they share common traits that define the next phase of meme coin evolution: strong community foundations, ambitious narratives, and a willingness to blur the lines between meme and mission.

儘管AI16Z和Pengu都在不同的加密文化子類別中運作（一種是Ai-Trif，而另一種是社區和品牌驅動的 - 它們都有共同的特徵，這些特徵定義了Meme Coin Coin Evolution的下一個階段：強大的社區基礎，雄心勃勃的敘事，以及在MEME和MEME之間界線。
