🔥Grow the value of virtual celebrities with Alt.Town

You can launch memecoins, or invest in tokenized AI agents, and with the arrival of Alt.Town you can now bet on virtual celebrities. Tokenized Vtubers or virtual idols are core to the experience of Alt.Town. Built on opBNB and BNB Chain, this platform attracted over 8,500 active wallets in the past week. However, volume is still a bit low on Alt.Town, recording $32,190 in dapp volume in the past week.

With 29th spot in the SocialFi Rankings, Alt.town is still a small fish. Leading dapps in the charts attract hundreds of thousands of wallets per week. However, out of all those dapps Alt.town has seen the most growth. It's clear that the success of tokenized physical collectibles, memecoin launchpads and AI agents, have brought renewed interest to SocialFi.

In recent weeks we have seen a wide variety of new platforms launching and finding an audience. Drafted.fun is a fantasy esports prediction game, Hype.fun is all about tokenization of social influence, while Puush.fun brings that memecoin action to the Cronos community.

💥 Uniswap V2 grows thanks to memecoin money

Uniswap V2 is still seeing tremendous growth, growing its dapp volume 159% to $31.2 billion. At the same time the TVL of the platform went up 183% in the past 7 days, reaching a total of $5.4 billion. This alone places Uniswap V2 as #11 among all DeFi platforms.

This success mainly comes from memecoin deploying their liquidity in Uniswap V2, simply because it's easy to do. In terms of features, V3 and V4 of Uniswap are far superior. But technological features aren't always a reason for teams to deploy their liquidity.

Memecoin projects and AI agent platform often deploy their liquidity on Uniswap V2, and that's exactly what we're seeing here. Tokens may have a bit of overvaluation when they deploy, adding somewhat unrealistic value to the TVL of Uniswap V2. Nonetheless, this trend highlights the need for onchain immutability, allowing teams to utilize smart contracts as building blocks for their product.
