Contrary to the expectation of the cryptocurrency ecosystem that meme coins would lose the buzz and fascination associated with them, leading to the loss of funds, it appears that instead of fizzling out, meme coins are returning with innovative use cases. The cases in point are Bonk (BONK) and NuggetRush (NUGX).
The BONK Impact on Solana’s Growth
Bonk (BONK), a Solana-based meme coin, was released into the ecosystem on Dec. 25, 2022, through a massive airdrop. The coin made headlines due to its rapid price increase and user base, which drew liquidity into the Solana ecosystem.
Like the typical meme coin, Bonk is a community-led project. It aims to boost the Solana space through the many utilities it offers. Believed to be released as a way to revive Solana, many consider this goal to have been achieved, judging by the partnerships the Bonk project secured with Solana-based platforms.
Boasting to be the “true community coin” of Web3, the project has over 131 integrations across nine blockchains. These partnerships improve the users’ benefits on different platforms using the coin. It is reported that days after the meme coin’s launch, 20,000 new wallets joined the Solana ecosystem.
As with all cryptocurrencies, and especially meme coins, it has been hard to predict with certainty the future of BONK. However, riding the extreme volatility its characteristic presents, BONK has grown, showing over 43% on its 14 and 30-day price charts and over 15% on its seven–day chart.
While BONK has been around since December 2022, another meme coin that is proving how impactful meme coins can be, NuggetRush (NUGX), is still in its presale but showing excellent potential.
NUGX’s Journey in the Meme Coin Space
NuggetRush (NUGX) is a game that combines fun, skill, and real-world benefits. Introducing users to an epic universe of game controllers, memes, and the blockchain, combined with strategy and reward, offers an adventurous experience. Integrating cryptocurrency, gold mining, and real-world artisanal mining in a play-to-earn (P2E) game, NuggetRush provides an immersive experience that rewards players with in-game assets while contributing to the mining industry in underdeveloped countries.
As the native token, NUGX is also used for governance on the NuggetRush platform, which is built on the Ethereum blockchain. The platform promises security, transparency, and opportunities for players worldwide. With the game characters doubling as collectible NFTs, players always have something to look forward to and discover.
In addition to having a successful smart contract audit by SolidProof, NuggetRush has features that not only seek to offer some type of stable value growth but also draw gamers in with its distinctive value proposition. Some of these unique features include ecosystem participation rewards, P2E meme coin, the GameFi angle that allows in-game assets to be exchanged for real-world assets like cash and gold, no buy or sell tax, and NFT staking with up to 20% APY.
The project also offers a player-driven peer-to-peer NFT marketplace, where users can customize their avatar NFTs and sell or trade them, among other features.
The P2E meme game is currently on presale and in round 2. After completing the first round, where the NUGX token sold for $0.010, the token price has gone up by 20% and is currently selling for $0.012. With over 45% sold out, round 2 is on its way to completion. At the end of the presale, the token will be listed at $0.020.
As the cryptocurrency ecosystem aims for mainstream adoption, innovative measures will be taken to find uses for the tokens of different projects, and developers of meme coins and their associated projects will not be left behind in the new trend.
Shiba Inu’s Shibarium and other new developments in the meme coin space, BONK’s addition to Solana, and NUGX’s GameFi and Impact gaming features are sure to change the narrative of meme coins shortly. With these meme coins, the narrative of the meme coin space is about to change and become less predictable.
