Here’s my personal take on how I select Monad meme coins. Of course, everyone should always DYOR Your Own Research), and none of this is financial advice. 1. Battle-Tested OG Monad Memes I primarily focus on the earliest Monad meme projects that have weathered countless challenges, survived brutal market conditions, and proven their resilience over time. In other words, I favor projects that have been around on Nad.fun for more than 11 months. These are the OGs that have stood the test of time. Based on this criterion, ranked from highest to lowest market cap, my picks are: $Chog, $EMONAD, $moncock, $MOLANDAK, and $SHRAMP. 2. OG Monanimals With Deep Lore and History One of the things that makes Monad truly special is its rich Monanimal culture and lore. For those of us who have followed the Monanimal ecosystem since its earliest days, we know that five (or arguably six) original mascots were already being discussed and celebrated in the early Monad Discord community. This is one of the historical references I frequently share: youtube.com/watch?v=d4Yj8lkP… The five legendary OG Monanimals are: $MOLANDAK, $Chog, $MOYAKI, $SALMONAD, and $MOUCH. One particularly important point worth emphasizing is that Molandak is the original Monad mascot, while Chog is essentially a variation of Molandak. Understanding this history matters because genuine cultural significance cannot simply be manufactured overnight. These Monanimals are part of Monad's identity, and their lore dates back to the very beginning. 3. A Truly Active and Loyal Community This is where $SHRAMP stands out the most. In my opinion, no other Monad meme community currently matches the dedication, loyalty, and consistency of the Shramp community. What impresses me most is that its supporters remain actively involved even during the toughest market conditions. Many other meme communities tend to disappear during bear markets, only to return when prices start pumping again. To me, that's not what a genuine community looks like. A real community is built by people who stick together through both bull and bear markets, regardless of short-term price action. And that's exactly what I see in $SHRAMP. 4. Outstanding Leadership Strong leadership can make an enormous difference, especially when a project is navigating difficult market conditions. In this category, I want to give special credit to two projects: $EMONAD and $SHRAMP. Both deserve recognition for having leaders who demonstrate commitment, consistency, and the ability to keep their communities engaged. A great leader doesn't just show up when everything is going well. True leadership becomes most apparent when times are tough. 5. Monanimals Recognized or Mentioned by Keone Hon Another factor I consider is whether a particular Monanimal has been acknowledged, mentioned, or featured by Monad's co-founder, Keone Hon. These historical references are especially interesting to me because they help establish which Monanimals were already part of Monad's culture long before the broader market began paying attention. Here are two references worth exploring: Keone Hon's X post: nitter.gq/keoneHD/status/1771549… Keone Hon's video: youtube.com/watch?v=1qZbLyHP… Jump to 1:16:30, where he begins discussing Monanimals. Of course, a mention by Keone should never be interpreted as an official endorsement or investment recommendation. However, I believe these historical references are valuable when researching the origins and cultural significance of the earliest Monanimals. Final Thoughts My investment philosophy is relatively straightforward. I prefer OG Monad memes with a proven history, authentic lore, resilient communities, and committed leadership. I am far more interested in projects that have survived difficult times than in newly launched memes that attract attention simply because of short-term hype. For me, longevity matters. Culture matters. Community matters. Leadership matters. And most importantly, genuine OG status is something that must be earned over time. It cannot simply be claimed. These are my personal opinions and the criteria I use when evaluating Monad meme coins. Always DYOR. This is not financial advice. (Do
