依托 Farcaster 和 Base 生态热度,Degen 如何蜕变?

Written by: HAMSTER

Degen 兴起于 Farcaster Community。2024 年 1 月,Degen Token首次在 Base 链上推出,并凭借其独特的激励机制和迷因文化Xiaobai Navigation,迅速成为了 Base 生态中备受关注的 memecoin 之一。随后,DAO 基础设施服务商 Syndicate 宣布利用 Arbitrum Orbit 和 AnyTrust 的技术,将 Degen 作为系统原生Token,推出了基于 Base 的 Layer3,即 Degen Chain。这一消息一经公布,DEGEN 的价格便一路飙升,近 3 个月涨幅高达 1400 倍。

The rise of Memecoin

Memecoins,这些灵感来源于网络迷因、笑话或病毒趋势的cryptocurrency,其普及始自 2013 年 Dogecoin 的诞生。Dogecoin 以狗狗迷因「Doge」为主题,引发了广泛的关注和喜爱。虽然起初仅作为幽默和娱乐的象征,Dogecoin 逐渐展现了更深层次的价值和用途,比如在网络交易、打赏以及慈善捐赠中的应用。Dogecoin 的流行和多样化用途突显了 Memecoin 超越单纯娱乐属性,成为cryptocurrency世界中一个不可忽视的力量。

Memecoin 之所以兴起,主要得益于它们基于Community的本质、富有趣味的内容以及对初级投资者友好的门槛。在 Dogecoin 获得成功之后,市场上随之涌现出了众多其他 Memecoins,这些币种借鉴了各种互联网趋势和笑话。其中包括以不同动物迷因为主题的货币、流行文化的引用,以及更多抽象的概念。这些 Memecoins 通常以极低的起始价位上市,并有可能因为社交媒体上的讨论热度和Community的参与而迅速升值。它们的流行还受到加密货币潮流的推动,例如 DeFi 和 NFT 的兴起,为 Memecoins 的创新使用开辟了新途径。

However, the very nature of Memecoins also brings considerable risks. Because their value can fluctuate wildly, many times price changes are based more on social media trends than intrinsic value. Many Memecoins lack solid technical support or clear use cases, turning them into highly speculative assets. In addition, there have been some "pump and dump" scams in this area, where collective action is used to artificially increase the value of a Memecoin, and then early holders sell at the high price, causing losses to latecomers. The anonymous nature of the Memecoin project further increases the difficulty of assessing its legitimacy and continued viability.

In summary, while Memecoins offer unique opportunities for community building and participation in the crypto space, they also come with high risks. Investors should be cautious when entering the Memecoins market, do adequate research, and recognize that these assets are inherently speculative.

The origin and development of Degen and its L3

Degen 的出现与发展,需要从 Farcaster 讲起。作为一个去中心化的社交应用,Farcaster 在加密货币社区中以其独特的社交互动方式和强调隐私保护而受到关注。在 Farcaster 上,用户可以分享、讨论和互动,同时利用Blockchain技术保证内容的真实性和不可篡改性。

In the Farcaster community, the /degen channel, as one of the earliest channels, was launched by the Warpcast team and quickly became a popular place to discuss cryptocurrency prices and share investment experiences. In January 2024, with the launch of Degen on the Base chain and through airdrops to community members in the /degen channel, Degen took the opportunity to showcase its unique incentive mechanism and meme culture, promoting a new way of social interaction within the community. These include innovative reward and airdrop mechanisms, which encourage community members to obtain Degen by participating and providing high-quality content, which not only stimulates the creation of high-quality content within the community, but also lays a solid foundation for the initial circulation and value growth of Degen.

DEGEN 代币经济学设计旨在支持网络运营,并通过精心规划的经济模型鼓励社区参与。总供应量约为 370 亿 DEGEN 代币,其中,70% 分配给社区以促进广泛参与,15% 分配给流动性池以增强交易流畅度和市场价值稳定性,另外 15% 用于开发团队、早期投资者和生态系统持续改进。

随后,Degen 通过完成 490.5 枚 ETH 的天使轮融资,与多个 Base 链上的项目合作,显著扩展了其应用场景和生态系统。这些合作项目,不仅采用 Degen 作为交易媒介,还进一步肯定了其作为原生代币的可行性与价值。

最为重要的是,Degen 的开发团队与 Syndicate 合作,推出了基于 Base 链的 L3 —— Degen Chain。此举为 Degen 提供了强大的技术支持和扩展性,同时将其市场估值推向新高,实现了从社区 memecoin 到具有实际应用价值和市场竞争力的加密资产的转变。Degen Chain 由 Degen 社区建立,采用 Arbitrum Orbit 构建,以 Base 链为结算层,并利用 AnyTrust 为数据可用性提供支持。其原生 gas 代币为 DEGEN,成为首批拥有自己的 L3 的社区代币之一。

Degen Chain 的推出不仅为支付、游戏等领域的新实验提供了支持,而且通过 Syndicate 提供的开发者工具,比如 Transaction Cloud APIs,为在 Degen Chain 上的开发者提供了免费的 gas,从而促进了社区代币与 L3 技术之间的创新体验和应用机制的开发。在这个平台上,开发者迅速推出了包括 DegenSwap 在内的多个应用程序,这是 Degen Chain 上的一主要去中心化交易平台,吸引了众多 memecoin 推出。自平台启动以来,仅四天内,它就实现了近 1 亿美元的交易量,完成了超过 272,000 笔独特交易,并且托管了超过 7,500 个contract和 2,300 个代币。这一切展现了 Degen Chain 在推动Blockchain创新和加速社区代币应用方面的巨大潜力。

Representatives of meme chains: Dogecoin and Shiba Inu on-chain development

Other memecoins that also have their own public chains include Doge and Shib.

与 Degen 不同的是,Dogecoin 是在 2013 年 12 月 6 日正式推出的,当时它是作为一种基于已存在的加密货币技术的轻松幽默版本。Dogecoin 的协议基于 Luckycoin 和 Litecoin,这两者都使用了 Scrypt 作为其 PoW 算法的一部分。这意味着自从推出以来,Dogecoin 就拥有了自己的Blockchain,从而允许它独立于其他主要加密货币运行。

Shiba Inu 由匿名人士或团队「Ryoshi」于 2020 年 8 月创建。它灵感来源于日本柴犬,这种狗也是另一种基于迷因起源的加密货币 Dogecoin 的吉祥物。Shiba Inu 最初被定位为潜在的「Dogecoin 竞争者」。2021 年 5 月,Vitalik Buterin 向印度 COVID-19 救援基金捐赠了价值超过 10 亿美元的超过 50 万亿 SHIB。

Shibarium is the long-awaited Layer2 solution of the Shiba Inu community, which aims to transform Shiba Inu from a simple memecoin into a complete blockchain ecosystem. By adopting a new consensus mechanism "Proof-of-Participation" and supporting EVM compatibility, it enables efficient and cost-effective transactions. This innovative framework facilitates the seamless migration of Shib tokens and the development of decentralized applications, providing a stage for the expansion of applications within the Shiba Inu ecosystem.

而回顾二者的公链发展历史,和 Degen 相比,Dogecoin 和 Shiba Inu 等其他迷因币虽然在市场上取得了显著的成功,但它们的技术开发和生态建设则相对保守,生态并无亮眼表现。这两个 Meme Chain 的价值和流行度更多地依赖于社区支持和文化现象,而不是技术创新或生态系统扩展。

in conclusion

The Degen case marks the transformation of memecoin from a simple cultural phenomenon to a force that cannot be ignored in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, demonstrating the long-term value and market potential of the new generation of memecoin. It, together with traditional memecoins such as Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, has enriched the diversity of the crypto market. However, whether Degen can break the single ecological situation of the meme chain and open up a rich application ecology still needs time to verify.
