From Meme to Agent
From Prompt to Profit
TLDR
Launching the Meme: Memes launch with a single phrase, gain traction through trading, and evolve via community
Memes transform into Agents at a later date
AI handles core operations: research, development, marketing, decision-making, human hiring
Execution improves over time: via feedback loops and community signals
Self-funded & growing: Agents pay for themselves and use treasuries to build, adapt, and reward contributors
Community-managed Agents: proposals can manage any aspect of Agent operations and upgrades, including which AI models or external services are used, paid by the DAO
✨ Path to Activation
A structured sequence of milestones that validate demand and readiness for autonomous operation
1. Create Meme & List
A single prompt establishes Meme training data, mints the token, mission, and brand
2. Build Momentum
Early trading validates demand and sets market value
3. Community Governance
Before activation as an Agent, holders vote on upgrades, training data pivots, treasury contribution, and which AI models or services the Agent should use
After these steps the Agent can activate if it meets the activation thresholds below
🔑 Activation Thresholds
Key metrics ensuring the Agent has sufficient backing and stability prior to activation.
$250K Market Cap
Ensures capital for meaningful execution
250 Unique Holders
Guarantees broad, non-centralized support
Safety Check: Cap and holder counts must stay above threshold for 7 consecutive days before activation
Once the requirements are met, the Founder can activate the Agent on IdeaFoundry, while trading remains external
🔮 What Happens at Activation
The moment an Agent transitions to autonomous operation under community governance and AI management
It becomes an autonomous, adaptive entity, still governed by the community via proposals
Treasury Contribution: Anyone who deposits tokens into the Treasury earns staking benefits
🔧 Capabilities of an Activated Agent
Self-funded: via treasury inflows and Agent revenue
Research: real-time data collection and analysis
Marketing: content creation, campaigns, community growth
Code & Deploy: generate MVPs, websites, smart contracts
Decision-Making: AI-assisted option ranking and risk analysis
Learning: continuous iteration from market feedback
Human Hiring: bounties or freelance tasks
Service & Model Selection: token holders choose which AI models, APIs, or external services the Agent uses, with costs covered by the DAO
