Wif on Sphere：Solana Memecoin 的傳奇，籌集了 65 萬美元在拉斯維加斯 Sphere 上做廣告

去年年初，由五位加密貨幣影響者組成的團體為終極加密貨幣行銷噱頭籌集了 65 萬美元：將咆哮的 Solana memecoin Dogwifhat 的圖像放在 366 英尺高的拉斯維加斯球體上。

A group of five crypto influencers planned to put the image of roaring Solana memecoin Dogwifhat on the 366-foot-tall Las Vegas Sphere after raising $650,000 from the public early last year.

去年年初，由五名加密貨幣影響者組成的團體計劃將咆哮的 Solana memecoin Dogwifhat 的圖像放置在 366 英尺高的拉斯維加斯球體上，該計劃從公眾籌集了 65 萬美元。

But 10 months after the group reached its goal, it still hasn’t happened.

但在該組織實現目標 10 個月後，這一目標仍然沒有實現。

With the Shiba-Inu-themed memecoin trading at its lowest level in months, onlookers are questioning if the campaign’s organizers still plan to follow through.

隨著以柴犬為主題的迷因幣交易量降至數月來的最低水平，旁觀者質疑該活動的組織者是否仍計劃堅持到底。

Two of the five people who control the raised funds confirmed to DL News the group still intended to spend the money to put the Dogwifhat mascot on the Sphere.

控制所籌集資金的五名人士中的兩人向 DL News 證實，該組織仍打算花錢將 Dogwifhat 吉祥物放在 Sphere 上。

“We are grateful to our community members and want to execute in a way that is the most impactful,” Mihir, who is one of five people who control the funds, told DL News.

「我們感謝我們的社區成員，並希望以最具影響力的方式執行，」米希爾（Mihir）是控制這些資金的五名人士之一，他告訴 DL News。

“Timing is important,” Mihir said when asked why the group still hadn’t organized the stunt.

當被問及為什麼該團體仍未組織這次特技表演時，米希爾說：“時機很重要。”

“Expect an announcement soon,” Edward, another of the five group members, told DL News.

「預計很快就會發佈公告，」五名小組成員中的另一名愛德華告訴 DL News。

DL News could not independently verify the veracity of these plans.

DL News 無法獨立驗證這些計劃的真實性。

Zion Thomas, known in crypto circles by his online handle Ansem, along with the two other Wif on Sphere campaign organizers, could not be reached for comment.

錫安·托馬斯 (Zion Thomas) 以及另外兩位 Wif on Sphere 活動組織者在加密貨幣圈中以在線帳號 Ansem 聞名，但未能聯繫到他置評。

Thomas’ last post about the Wif on Sphere campaign was over five months ago, joking about the campaign failing to carry out its promise of putting the Dogwifhat mascot on the Sphere.

Thomas 上一篇關於 Wif on Sphere 活動的貼文是在五個多月前，他開玩笑說該活動未能兌現將 Dogwifhat 吉祥物放在 Sphere 上的承諾。

The Dogwifhat saga

Dogwifhat 傳奇

Dogwifhat, a memecoin based on a picture of a dog wearing a pink crocheted hat, launched on the Solana blockchain in November 2023. It quickly went viral, hitting a $1 billion market value just 81 days after launch — the second-fastest crypto token to do so behind PEPE.

Dogwifhat 是一種迷因幣，以一隻戴著粉紅色鉤針帽子的狗的圖片為基礎，於2023 年11 月在Solana 區塊鏈上推出。美元，是全球第二快的加密代幣。

In January, five crypto influencers led by Thomas launched the Wif of Sphere campaign asking the public to donate funds to them. It wasn’t until March that the group raised enough money to pay the $650,000 fee to advertise on the Sphere for a week.

一月份，由 Thomas 領導的五位加密貨幣影響者發起了 Wif of Sphere 活動，要求公眾向他們捐贈資金。直到三月份，該組織才籌集到足夠的資金，支付 65 萬美元的費用，在 Sphere 上做一周的廣告。

Soon after, the WIF token hit an all-time high of $4.83, giving it a market valuation of over $4.5 billion.

不久之後，WIF 代幣觸及 4.83 美元的歷史新高，使其市場估值超過 45 億美元。

But in the weeks after the campaign surpassed its target, updates on when Dogwifhat would appear on the Sphere slowed down.

但在活動超出目標後的幾週內，有關 Dogwifhat 何時出現在 Sphere 上的更新速度變慢了。

Now, almost a year on, Thomas and his four collaborators have yet to provide any documentation that they’ve been in touch with the Sphere’s marketing team.

現在，差不多一年過去了，托馬斯和他的四位合作者尚未提供任何他們與 Sphere 行銷團隊保持聯繫的文件。

The Solana wallet the group used to collect donations hasn’t been touched, and now contains almost $700,000.

該組織用於募款的 Solana 錢包尚未被動過，目前已包含近 70 萬美元。

Hype no more?

不再炒作了嗎？

Many onlookers have questioned why it has taken so long to organize the Dogwifhat Sphere ad.

許多旁觀者質疑為什麼花了這麼長時間來組織 Dogwifhat Sphere 廣告。

The stunt may not have the same impact that it would have had if it had been carried out when the funds were initially raised.

這項噱頭可能不會產生與最初籌集資金時進行的相同的影響。

Mihir said it’s “objectively not true” that the hype surrounding WIF had died down since March.

Mihir 表示，圍繞 WIF 的炒作自 3 月以來就逐漸平息，「客觀上不屬實」。

“I interpret hype as a long-term thing,” he said, citing recent listings of WIF by Coinbase and Robinhood as examples that investors were still enthusiastic about the memecoin.

「我將炒作視為一件長期的事情，」他說，並引用 Coinbase 和 Robinhood 最近上市的 WIF 作為投資者仍然對 memecoin 充滿熱情的例子。

In November, Coinbase added WIF to its listing roadmap before opening it for trading days later. Later that month, Robinhood also listed the memecoin for trading.

11 月，Coinbase 將 WIF 添加到其上市路線圖中，並在幾天後開放交易。當月晚些時候，Robinhood 也上線了 memecoin 進行交易。

However, Dogwifhat’s price tells a different story.

然而，Dogwifhat 的價格卻講述了一個不同的故事。

It’s 70% down from its March all-time high.

較 3 月的歷史最高點下降了 70%。
