What to Watch For

Two different projects backed by respected builders in this space look to be coming out of stealth this week. I’m keeping a close eye on both

Project X

• Team: BobbyBigYield and Lamboland

• Chain: HyperEVM

• What is it?:

  • Few details are released but with the team’s background I’m betting it involves SocialFi in some capacity

• Why it’s interesting:

  • This is the team that built Pacmoon last year, one of the first successful SocialFi products.

  • InfoFi and SocialFi are emerging narratives this cycle and Hyperliquid has seen massive gains in token price and mindshare over the last few months

• Actions to take:

  • Follow ProjectX, Bobby, and Lambo

Loud

• Team: 0xUltra

• Chain: Solana

• What is it?:

  • An experiment with a pure attention token, LOUD. The LOUD flyhweel starts as traders speculate on the token and trading fees go into a pool subsidize marketing. This pool goes directly to the top 25 users on the LOUD mindshare leaderboard, creating a competition to create the best content promoting the token. There is also a portion of token that is distributed weekly to people staking the KAITO token.

• Why it’s interesting:

  • $LOUD is an interesting experiment on the value of a pure attention token

  • Ultra has been a dashboard wiz as most recently seen by his Believe ecosystem dashboard

  • There is Kaito partnership and Loud has rocketed to the top of Kaito mindshare leaderboard across all projects

• Actions to take:

  • If you are on Kaito (especially if you are staking), make sure to add your Solana wallet to your account

  • Connect your twitter account and Solana wallet to their website and tweet about Loud to try to enter the top 25

  • Follow Loud
