Last weekend, the ELIZA ecosystem Launchpad platform auto.fun was officially launched, and Shaw, the founder of ai16z, also kept promoting auto.fun on the X platform. So, with the recovery of the market this morning, can the AI16Z price continue its life with the help of auto.fun, or even rise strongly, ushering in the "second spring"?

Below, Odaily brings you insights into the performance of the token price at the launch of the auto.fun platform on the Launchpad, as well as community sentiment.

Project Introduction: The native token is ai16z

auto.fun is an eco-project of ai16z, which is a community-based, open-source, no-code Launchpad platform. Anyone can create autonomous AI agents to perform tasks across social media platforms, DeFi applications, and other Web3 services.

Eliza Labs said that auto.fun was developed to support the development of AI Agent on an economic level, and auto.fun will be different from ordinary token launch platforms, adopting a token model that is fairer than previous launch platforms, combining binding curves and fair issuance principles, which will bring about a narrative level change. In addition, creators can independently receive the fees generated by content creation and token issuance, and the community can collaborate to initiate content or create CTO tokens based on other platforms, which emphasizes "anti-hype" and "pure fun", aiming to create a decentralized, transparent content and token publishing space that truly belongs to creators and communities.

It is worth mentioning that Shaw, the founder of ai16z, previously posted on the X platform stating that the native token of auto.fun is ai16z.

The website has crashed multiple times, and its features are not innovative.

Since its launch last weekend, the long-awaited Launchpad platform auto.fun from the AI Agent community ai16z has not shown any excitement in product experience, fast track tokens, or ai16z token staking functions on social media. Instead, the website has experienced multiple outages, with another occurring this morning.

The token issuance feature has no significant innovation.

The token issuance feature provided by auto.fun generally follows the mature model of platforms like Pump.fun in terms of logic and gameplay. Whether it is the creation process, token release method, or overall user experience, there are no noticeable differences. Overall, it resembles a "horizontal replication" of existing models rather than a true breakthrough in product mechanisms.

Although the platform has launched an additional "chat room" function, which divides different exclusive chat areas according to the number of tokens held by users (such as 1k, 10k, 100k, 1M) in an attempt to create a sense of community belonging, there is no Golden Dog project with a high degree of consensus and stickiness, resulting in the lack of practical significance of this "micro-innovation". In addition, the auto.fun's built-in swap function has also failed to spark discussions or form a boom in the community due to the lack of transparent incentive mechanism descriptions (such as whether there is a trading reward or rebate mechanism), and there is a problem of "tool silos".

The layout is chaotic and does not feature "Golden Dog".

"There isn't a single project among the pile issued by the platform that can stand out." Due to the chaotic presentation of the issued tokens on the official website, first-time users of the platform cannot find which projects are currently popular, nor can they find worthwhile tier-one and tier-two projects to participate in.

In addition, according to the data analysis of auto.fun by community members (analysis website: 576 projects, the highest market cap token currently has a market cap of only $28,000, and the vast majority of other projects have a market cap of less than $10,000, which can be considered lukewarm.

ai16z short-term rise may be only due to market rebound, with no substantial positive fundamentals observed

With BTC rebounding strongly today, market sentiment has picked up significantly, and the AI Agent sector has also strengthened as a hot theme in recent times. Among them, AI16Z is particularly outstanding, with the price soaring as high as $0.19 this morning, and is now trading at $0.18, up more than 30% in 24 hours. This trend is more like a strong copycat sector rebound brought about by the market recovery than a positive change in the fundamentals of AI16Z.

Based on the performance of the tokens issued by the auto.fun platform, the overall market reaction has been tepid, failing to inject substantial incremental value into the ai16z ecosystem. Instead, due to the high homogeneity of content and gameplay, it has raised doubts and negative feedback from some community users. Therefore, whether the ai16z token price can truly迎来“第二春” depends on whether auto.fun subsequently launches features with actual utility, such as a staking mechanism for the ai16z token or more imaginative ecological upgrades brought by Shaw, such as Eliza v2.
