BUZZ Market Cap Quickly Hits $40M, Is the "DeFi Agent" Making a Splash?
This morning, the BUZZ token skyrocketed 75x within one hour of its token launch. This DeFi agent immediately captured the attention of netizens, who were curious why this AI agent was able to achieve heights in one hour that other AI agents might never reach in their lifetime, starting off like a rocket blasting into space.
The BUZZ token's market cap briefly surpassed $44.66 million in a very short period of time, and the trading volume has now reached $96.1 million. It surged 75x in 1 hour, with a peak increase of 168x. This surge was so intense that it left people in awe and started drawing attention to it. The token's current market cap still stands at $37.43 million, but the momentum of the surge has not diminished, continuing to attract the market's gaze. There was even a "Beekeeper" sniping BUZZ, making a profit of $1.25 million in 8 minutes.

DeFi Agent's First Strike?
One of the main driving forces behind Buzz's meteoric rise is the DeFi agent becoming the focal point of the market's attention, attracting more and more investors and users, especially against the backdrop of the sharply increasing demand for DeFi convenience. Buzz's value was rapidly recognized.
BUZZ's Twitter page, The Hive, has almost no content, and the official website clearly states that it is a Solana-based, modular, interoperable decentralized financial agent network that simplifies complex DeFi operations through a natural language interface.

In simple terms, it is a platform that helps you easily navigate DeFi, like a super-intelligent little bee, specifically handling transactions, staking, borrowing, and other complex DeFi operations. You just need to tell it what you want to do through chat commands, and it will automatically take care of it, even combining your needs into customized strategies. For example, after setting conditions, it can automatically execute operations when the price changes, and the platform also supports developers adding new features.

It is worth noting that the Hive AI has also joined the currently popular Solana blockchain AI hackathon. It seems to be the first DeFi agent, and with its outstanding token surge, BUZZ quickly attracted super high market attention. The developer behind it, Jason Hedman, can be described as a "warlord," a typical representation of a "good student" with added handsome buff. Netizens discovered that his record shows nearly every project he participated in achieved first place.

Jason Hedman holds 5% of the token supply, but to enhance the project's transparency and market trust, he has decided to lock this portion of tokens for one year. This move is not only a commitment to investors but also demonstrates the development team's strong confidence in the project's long-term growth.

Another typical example that showcases the rise of a DeFi agent is T3AI, a project that has quickly made a name for itself in the Solana DeFi space through innovative low-collateral loans and automated risk management. Since its inception, T3AI's market capitalization has surged to 18.58M, with a trading volume exceeding 12.6M, and the token price has increased by 100x, showing a strong upward trend.

Agent Golden Dog Production Line, What Else Alpha in Solana AI Hackathon?
With the booming Solana AI Hackathon, the participation of Hive AI has undoubtedly brought even more excitement and attention to the project. Even the founder of AI16z specifically mentioned in an interview that DeFi agents will be a future trend, especially in the Solana ecosystem. This trend will become increasingly prominent. The skyrocketing price of the Buzz token directly reflects this trend because many users entering this field are often unfamiliar with the complexities of DeFi. The emergence of agents has undoubtedly filled this gap, providing users with convenient tools and automated solutions.

In a recent Solana AI Hackathon, projects from various fields have shown immense potential. These innovations are expected to stand out in the future in the fields of DeFi, trading, investment, gaming, and music. Projects focusing on DeFi and trading agents such as boltrade ai, Cod3xOrg, BigTonyXBT, and fengshuiagent are combining AI technology with trading strategies to enhance efficiency and help users achieve better performance.
Projects like ProjectPlutus and ASYM41b07 are deeply focused on optimizing and enhancing the security of smart contracts. Various agents are working together to further advance the DeFi agent field.

Another example is in the agent ecosystem, where projects like SolarisAI fun can improve operational automation and collaboration between intelligent entities, while socrates agi focuses on the generality of AI agents, aiming to address real-world challenges through intelligent agents and expand their application across multiple domains.

In the AI x Gaming field, semi infiknight leverages AI to enhance game interactivity and intelligence, making the gaming experience more challenging and enjoyable. These projects not only showcase the diverse innovative potential of the Solana AI hackathon but also hint at the possibility of future technological developments continuously introducing new Alpha projects similar to Buzz across various sectors, leading the industry's transformation.

1. "What Is 'ICM'? Holding Up the $4 Billion Market Cap Solana's New Narrative"
Overnight, the hottest narrative in the crypto space has become "Internet Capital Markets," with a host of crypto projects and founders, led by the Solana ecosystem's new Launchpad platform Believe, releasing this phrase. Together with "Believe in something," it has become the new slogan heralding the onset of a bull market. What exactly is the so-called "Internet Capital Market," will it become a short-lived hype phrase like the Base ecosystem's previous Content Coin, and what related targets are available for selection?2.《LaunchCoin Surges 20x in One Day, How Did Believe Create a $200M Market Cap Shiba Inu After Going to Zero?|100x Retrospective》

Within 24 hours, GOONC's market cap soared to 70 million, could GOONC be the next billion-dollar dog on the Believe platform?
Bitcoin has broken $100,000, Ethereum has surpassed 2500, and is Solana's hot streak about to make a comeback?
The current market is in a state of macro euphoria, with GOONC riding the wave today, skyrocketing 10x in just a few hours, reaching a market cap of tens of millions of dollars, trading volume soaring past 50 million, and rumors swirling that the developer may be from OpenAI (unconfirmed but intriguing enough).
A ludicrous and absurd Solana meme that some actually buy into.
GOONC is a meme coin that has sprouted from the "gooning" subculture, offering no technological innovation or practical use, its sole function being speculation.
It takes inspiration from an NSFW term "gooning," which refers to a person being deeply immersed in certain content (you know what), eventually entering a nearly religious-like trance.
In Reddit (such as r/GOONED, r/GoonCaves) and some counterculture media outlets (such as MEL Magazine in 2020), "gooning" has gradually transitioned from an adult label to a meme-addicted, digital content and virtual self-indulgence synonym, arguably the epitome of Degen spirit.
GOONC is playing around with this concept, packaging the addictive nature, uselessness, and irony of gooning into a tradable financial product. The project team has made it clear: "We do not solve blockchain problems, we only trade absurdity." Blunt but oddly genuine.
GOONC launched on May 13, 2025, using the meme coin launch platform Believe App's LaunchCoin module on Solana. This tool is highly Degen: zero technical barriers, a few clicks to create a coin, perfect for projects like GOONC that can come up with ideas out of the blue.
The mastermind behind GOONC is also quite something and is the most talked-about, with KOL @basedalexandoor on X platform (alias "Pata van Goon") personally involved. His profile even caught the attention of Marc Andreessen, co-founder of a16z, making onlookers unable to resist speculating if GOONC has a hint of OpenAI lineage.
While this 'OpenAI Endorsement' is currently just community speculation, it is definitely a good card to play to fuel hype. Saying "we are pure speculation" on one hand, while tagging a few "AI + a16z" on the other.
GOONC took off as soon as it launched. After its launch on May 13, 2025, its market capitalization skyrocketed to $22 million within 4 hours, with a trading volume exceeding $25.6 million in 24 hours. According to platform data, the first day of trading saw an astonishing +41,100% surge, soaring from $0.0000001 to $0.02, becoming a "missed-the-boat" situation.
GOONC quickly formed an active trading community post-launch, with a lot of discussion and trading signals appearing on X platform (such as the 292x return signal provided by DeBot). Liquidity pools on exchanges like Raydium and Meteora grew rapidly, supporting high trading volumes and price increases.
The real climax occurred between May 13 and May 14, with the market cap rising to $5.5 million in the morning and directly surpassing $55 million in the afternoon. By the 14th, it briefly approached a $70 million market cap, with the trading volume soaring to $59 million. Some community members even posted screenshots claiming an increase of +85,000%, creating a new myth out of the ruins.
As of 1:30 pm on May 14, the price stabilized around $0.039, with a total market cap and FDV both around $39.6 million, and a 24-hour trading volume of $5.43 million. Active platforms include XT.COM, LBank, Meteora, and others.
Although there was a slight pullback from the peak ($0.07), the coin's popularity remains strong. For a coin that relies purely on "irony + community + X post" to thrive, this performance is already at a stellar level.
Currently, the background of the token's development team is not transparent, increasing the potential risk of a rug pull. Rugcheck.xyz warns that the creator of the GOONC contract may have permission to modify the contract (e.g., change fees or mint additional tokens), posing certain security risks.
Community members speculate that the meteoric rise of GOONC may be the "last hurrah".
