Launchpad platform auto.fun officially launched, aiming to create a decentralized content and token release space that truly belongs to creators and the community

After much anticipation, last weekend, the ELIZA ecosystem Launchpad platform auto.fun was officially launched. In addition, ai16z founder Shaw has also been promoting auto.fun

After much anticipation, last weekend saw the official launch of the ELIZA ecosystem Launchpad platform, auto.fun. In addition, ai16z founder Shaw has also been promoting auto.fun on the X platform. So, with the market recovery this morning, can the price of ai16z survive with the help of auto.fun, or even rise strongly and usher in a “second spring”?

Next, Odaily Planet Daily will take you to learn about the Launchpad platform auto.fun, the price performance of the platform’s first token, and community sentiment.

Project Introduction: The native token is ai16z

auto.fun is an ai16z ecosystem project. It is a community-based open source, code-free Launchpad platform where anyone can create autonomous AI agents that perform tasks across social media platforms, DeFi applications, and other Web3 services.

Eliza Labs said that it developed auto.fun to support the development of AI Agents at the economic level. Unlike ordinary token launch platforms, auto.fun adopts a fairer token model than previous launch platforms, combining the bonding curve and the principle of fair issuance, which will bring changes in the narrative level. In addition, creators can independently collect 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. The platform emphasizes “anti-hype” and “pure fun” and aims to create a decentralized, transparent content and token release space that truly belongs to creators and the community.

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

The website has been down for many times and its features are not new.

For ai16z's own Launchpad platform auto.fun, which has been long awaited by major AI Agent communities, since its launch last weekend, not only has there been no product experience popularity, speed pass tokens, and ai16z token staking functions on social media, but the website has experienced multiple downtimes, and even downtime again this morning.

There is no obvious innovation in the coin issuance function

The token issuance function provided by auto.fun roughly follows the mature model of platforms such as Pump.fun in terms of logic and gameplay. Whether it is the creation process, token issuance method or overall user experience, there is no obvious differentiation. Overall, it is more like a “translation and reproduction” of the existing model rather than a real breakthrough in product mechanism.

Although the platform has launched an additional “chat room” function, dividing different exclusive chat areas according to the number of tokens held by users (such as 1k, 10k, 100k, 1M), trying to create a sense of community belonging, there are currently no Golden Dog projects with high consensus and stickiness, resulting in this “micro-innovation” lacking practical significance. In addition, auto.fun's built-in Swap function has also failed to trigger discussion or form a usage boom in the community due to the lack of transparent incentive mechanism description (such as whether there is a transaction reward or rebate mechanism), and there is a problem of “tool islandization”.

The layout is confusing and the "Golden Dog" does not appear

“None of the projects issued by the platform is worth mentioning.” Due to the confusing display of issued tokens on the official website, users who enter the platform for the first time cannot find which project is currently popular, nor can they find the top or second-best projects on the platform worth participating in.

In addition, according to the analysis of auto.fun data by community members (analysis website: https://autofun-iota.vercel.app/), the platform has issued a total of 576 projects, and the current market value of the token with the highest market value is only 28,000 US dollars. The market value of most other projects is even less than 10,000 US dollars, which can be said to be cold.

ai16z Short-term rise may be due to market rebound, and there is no substantial positive fundamentals

With BTC's strong rebound today, market sentiment has clearly warmed up, and the AI Agent sector, as a popular topic recently, has also strengthened. Among them, ai16z has performed particularly well. The price once surged to $0.19 this morning and is currently reported at $0.18, with a 24-hour increase of more than 30%. This trend is more like a strong rebound in the cottage sector brought about by the market recovery, rather than a positive change in the fundamentals of ai16z.

Judging from the performance of the tokens issued by the auto.fun platform, the overall market response is flat, and it has failed to inject substantial incremental value into the ai16z ecosystem.
