Wif on Sphere：Solana Memecoin 的传奇，筹集了 65 万美元在拉斯维加斯 Sphere 上做广告

去年年初，由五位加密货币影响者组成的团体为终极加密货币营销噱头筹集了 65 万美元：将咆哮的 Solana memecoin Dogwifhat 的图像放在 366 英尺高的拉斯维加斯球体上。

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，五名加密货币影响者组成的团体计划将咆哮的 Solana memecoin Dogwifhat 的图像放置在 366 英尺高的拉斯维加斯球体上，该计划从公众那里筹集了 65 万美元。

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

但在该组织实现目标 10 个月后，这一目标仍然没有实现。

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.

随着以柴犬为主题的模因币交易量降至数月来的最低水平，旁观者质疑该活动的组织者是否仍计划坚持到底。

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.

控制所筹集资金的五名人士中的两人向 DL News 证实，该组织仍打算花钱将 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.

“我们感谢我们的社区成员，并希望以最具影响力的方式执行，”米希尔（Mihir）是控制这些资金的五名人士之一，他告诉 DL News。

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

当被问及为什么该团体仍未组织这次特技表演时，米希尔说道：“时机很重要。”

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

“预计很快会发布公告，”五名小组成员中的另一名爱德华告诉 DL News。

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

DL News 无法独立验证这些计划的真实性。

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.

锡安·托马斯 (Zion Thomas) 以及另外两位 Wif on Sphere 活动组织者在加密货币圈中以在线账号 Ansem 闻名，但未能联系到他置评。

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 上一篇关于 Wif on Sphere 活动的帖子是在五个多月前，他开玩笑说该活动未能兑现将 Dogwifhat 吉祥物放在 Sphere 上的承诺。

The Dogwifhat saga

Dogwifhat 传奇

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 是一种模因币，以一只戴着粉色钩针帽子的狗的图片为基础，于 2023 年 11 月在 Solana 区块链上推出。它迅速走红，推出后仅 81 天市值就达到 10 亿美元，是全球第二快的加密代币。在 PEPE 后面这样做。

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 领导的五位加密货币影响者发起了 Wif of Sphere 活动，要求公众向他们捐赠资金。直到三月份，该集团才筹集到足够的资金，支付 65 万美元的费用，在 Sphere 上做一周的广告。

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

不久之后，WIF 代币触及 4.83 美元的历史新高，使其市场估值超过 45 亿美元。

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

但在活动超出目标后的几周内，有关 Dogwifhat 何时出现在 Sphere 上的更新速度变慢了。

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.

现在，差不多一年过去了，托马斯和他的四位合作者尚未提供任何他们与 Sphere 营销团队保持联系的文件。

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

该组织用于募捐的 Solana 钱包尚未被动过，目前已包含近 70 万美元。

Hype no more?

不再炒作了吗？

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

许多旁观者质疑为什么花了这么长时间来组织 Dogwifhat Sphere 广告。

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.

这一噱头可能不会产生与最初筹集资金时进行的相同的影响。

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

Mihir 表示，围绕 WIF 的炒作自 3 月份以来就逐渐平息，“客观上不属实”。

“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.

“我将炒作视为一件长期的事情，”他说，并引用 Coinbase 和 Robinhood 最近上市的 WIF 作为投资者仍然对 memecoin 充满热情的例子。

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 将 WIF 添加到其上市路线图中，并在几天后开放交易。当月晚些时候，Robinhood 也上线了 memecoin 进行交易。

However, Dogwifhat’s price tells a different story.

然而，Dogwifhat 的价格却讲述了一个不同的故事。

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

较 3 月份的历史最高点下降了 70%。
