Most meme coins start as hype but only a few survive long-term. Doge and SHIB stayed relevant by building community-driven ecosystems beyond just price speculation.

Lately, we’re seeing experiments where meme coins go beyond just memes:

• Staking & DeFi (e.g., BONK, SHIB burns).

• Gaming & Rewards (e.g., in-game NFTs, meme-powered games).

• Governance & DAOs (e.g., community-driven funding).

What’s the next evolution of meme coins? Do people actually want utility-driven meme projects, or is hype still king?
