Introducing the Woman Driving the Success of Solana’s Memecoin ‘Doland Tremp’
Over the past few weeks, a flood of politician-themed memecoins has emerged on Solana, all bearing a striking resemblance to the infamous Spoderman meme. One standout among them is Doland Tremp, a coin inspired by Dolan, a twisted version of Donald Duck with an attitude problem. Leading the charge for Doland Tremp is B, a tech marketing professional based in the UK.
Doland Tremp was launched on February 28th with an initial price of just a fraction of a penny. Since then, it has experienced highs of 63 cents and currently sits at 22 cents, giving it a market capitalization of $22 million. The token is held by nearly 20,000 individuals.
The original creator of Doland Tremp swiftly abandoned the project, selling their holdings in its early stages. However, B and other community members stepped in to take over the reins, a phenomenon often referred to as a “community takeover” in the crypto world.
B sees the competition among these memecoins as a blockchain election, an unprecedented event in the crypto space. While B herself is a Trump supporter, she emphasizes that the project is not driven by partisan beliefs but rather by a shared passion for memes, community, and fun. B believes that Trump enjoys support from the crypto community due to their opposition to the Democrats’ tax policies.
The team behind Doland Tremp aims to unite various communities and create amusing memes and videos. B is dedicated to the project, having taken time off from her regular job to focus on its development. Doland Tremp is not the only Trump-themed PoliFi token; there is also MAGA on Ethereum, which has a larger market capitalization and is held in the former President’s official wallet. However, B asserts that there is no rivalry between the two and sees Doland Tremp as Solana’s counterpart.
The popularity of memecoins like Doland Tremp and Boden has surged on Solana, coinciding with a 60% increase in SOL’s price over the past month. However, the success of these memecoins has also put strain on the Solana network, leading to congestion issues and failed transactions.
B’s partner in the Doland Tremp project, 3fn, explains that Solana was chosen for these memecoins due to its low transaction fees, fast speeds, and strong community. Ethereum’s high fees make it unsuitable for their purposes, which is why Solana and its competitors emerged in the first place.
Despite some scorn from critics in the traditional financial media, B and 3fn assert that this PoliFi sector is misunderstood. The market capitalization of PoliFi coins now exceeds $220 million, according to CoinGecko. In the crypto world, it is not unusual for a category based on politicians’ names to reach such significant value.
Even Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana, admits to not fully understanding the phenomenon. He believes it is a result of people being “terminally online and having nothing better to do.” B agrees that the main objective is to create funny memes and bring joy to people, with no intention of making enemies.
In conclusion, B, the woman leading the Doland Tremp project, is determined to keep the fun alive in the competitive world of PoliFi coins on Solana. With her team, she aims to unite communities, unleash humor through memes and videos, and continue the rapid growth and success of Doland Tremp and other memecoins in the crypto ecosystem.
