Choosing which Solana community coins to support comes down to individual taste, budget, and how you understand each narrative. Some of the coins on this list are already multicycle survivors. Others are newer communities that have the potential to dominate the next wave of community coin revival. One thing they all have in common: hardworking communities. This list is based solely on observing raiding activity. No price predictions, rankings, or endorsements. Just recognition of communities that consistently show up and put in the work.

there’s been growing frustration around @Pumpfun callout rewards, and i personally won’t stay silent about this until the structure changes. first, this isn’t a fud post. it’s constructive criticism from someone who wants to see pumpfun succeed. it’s the market leader, and with that comes responsibility for shaping the culture, incentives and future of this space. the same people keep getting rewarded for recycling attention within the same circle, while holders and communities doing the actual work of building ecosystems get nothing. this is becoming a serious retention problem. the current incentives encourage users to jump from one callout to another instead of giving them reasons to stay, hold, build and reinvest and destroying the trenches. and i don’t think macro is a sufficient explanation for where onchain is today. one year ago, the macro environment was arguably even worse, yet onchain was doing much better, especially during the pumpfolio era. even coin-level rewards aren’t solving the problem. liquidity and trading activity can migrate to external pools, including meteora pools where pumpfun’s trading fee mechanism doesn’t apply. pumpfun can end up losing the economic benefit of activity generated by coins launched on its platform. the rewards model needs to evolve beyond just general callouts. at least basics i’d like to see two additional reward categories: 1. holding time reward wallets for holding coins consistently over time. longer holding periods should mean greater rewards, rather than simply rewarding whoever generates the most short-term activity. 2. repeated calls reward people who consistently support the same communities and coins over time, rather than accounts farming one-off callouts and moving on to the next opportunity. imagine the difference in incentives. instead of rewarding people for constantly switching attention, reward them for staying committed and helping communities grow. this will make volume in trenches much higher, and attract more users. pumpfun is focusing on acquisition. now retention needs to become the priority. acquisition without retention is a leaky bucket. i want to invite other communities, builders and everyone who cares about the future of the trenches to join and support this petition. this isn’t about attacking pumpfun. it’s about asking the market leader to evolve its incentives and help rebuild an ecosystem where people have reasons to stay, build and believe. cc: @a1lon9 @json1444 @blknoiz06

i don’t think onboarding through larp influencers is going to work in these conditions. several of my relatives who are completely removed from crypto called me today and yesterday asking about the $6b binance hack. think about that. people who don’t follow crypto, don’t know what’s happening onchain and have zero interest in memecoins are hearing about crypto through scandals. these people used to asking me about crypto when bitcoin and alts pumped tho you can’t fix that by paying more people to pretend they’re excited about crypto if there r no success cases. we need genuine success stories, people making money, communities worth joining and reasons for normies to believe there’s something here for them.

it’s not about baton. everyone is free to exit whenever they want, for whatever reason. just don’t preach conviction and loyalty when you’re the one flipping your convictions 10 times a day depending on where the wind blows.

if i was @Pumpfun, i’d pause all callout rewards for now and redirect that budget into community memes. retention should be the priority right now, not acquisition. there’s a principle in brand building: in times of growth, brands compete for attention. in times of crisis, they compete for loyalty. another thing i’ve noticed: the same familiar faces keep appearing on leaderboards. but are we actually recruiting new users or just redistributing attention within the same existing circle? callout rewards can buy temporary visibility, but they don’t necessarily expand the ecosystem. i’d rather see that budget go towards communities creating original memes, like was glass full foundation one year ago. strong communities create belonging, recurring engagement, organic distribution and network effects. they become their own acquisition channels. you don’t build long-term brand equity by constantly buying attention. you build it by investing in the people who make your ecosystem worth coming back to.
