Recently saw a pretty wild play - a certain Perpetual Futures DEX organized a 48-hour meme creation event.
To be honest, the perpetual DEX track has turned into a red ocean, but the strategy of this project is quite interesting: with just a few tokens, you can leverage thousands of retweets and hundreds of thousands of exposures, with an ROI that crushes traditional hard advertising.
The core logic is very simple and straightforward: users create high-quality memes, and the official team directly uses them as emojis, Twitter materials, or even website GIFs. This UGC incentive mechanism is indeed suitable for the high-risk-taking DeFi player group.
The participation threshold is not high; just referencing the original post of the wallet is sufficient. It's necessary to say that in the era of attention economy, whoever can understand the community will gain the advantage. The moat of Perptual Futures DEX may not only rely on technical depth, but also on how community stickiness is built.

It's the same old UGC thing again, basically just a new trick for farming.
After competing on tech and community, what's next?
Is this ROI data real or not? Feels a bit exaggerated.
Even memes can be considered a moat now; there's really no difference between perpetual DEXs anymore.
Trying to lock in users within 48 hours is kind of a joke.

This is what marketing is all about, much smarter than those rigid Airdrop activities.

At this point, relying on memes to divert attention is absolutely amazing.

Well, this UGC gameplay is indeed a bit ruthless, I believe the ROI can crush hard ads.
---
The perpetual DEX is still using such tricks, which shows that the technology really has nothing left to innovate.
---
Wait, can just wallet references work? How much junk meme is going to mix in?
---
Community stickiness sounds nice, but isn't it just a prelude to being played for suckers?
---
Thinking that relying on memes to turn things around in 48 hours, this track is getting more and more surreal.
---
However, I have to admit, using a few tokens to exchange for hundreds of thousands of exposures is indeed something.
---
I remember those previous projects did the same, and in the end? The community died, and the tokens dropped to zero.
---
If this wave can really retain users, that would be great; otherwise, it's just a short-term traffic game.
