Three days since its inception, $ROCKY, the newest meme coin on the Base blockchain, has skyrocketed to an impressive $20.6 million market cap amidst a largely bearish market.
Quietly launched on a Saturday by MetaWin’s founder, Skel, $ROCKY’s ascent has been remarkable, defying the odds without prior hype or a pre-sale event. Even the MetaWin team was caught off guard, learning about the launch as it gained traction among users in the Arena Discord.
Responding swiftly, Skel rallied MetaWin’s 80-member team to chart a robust roadmap for $ROCKY’s future. Progress has been swift and impactful, with the team securing partnerships with a prominent Hollywood art studio to bolster social media campaigns, integrating $ROCKY into MetaWin’s platform for token-gated competitions, and effectively leveraging their network of Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs).
In a bold move on X (formerly Twitter), Skel projected a $100 million market cap for $ROCKY, offering exit liquidity at a $5 million valuation—a commitment that quadrupled the token’s price within just ten hours.
“The broader market was in decline, and initially, $ROCKY was part of that slump. I didn’t want to see our community lose heart. While I was unsure about fully backing the project, at MetaWin, when we commit, we commit fully,” Skel remarked. “The enthusiasm from our community has solidified $ROCKY as MetaWin’s unofficial meme coin, and we’re now united in the goal of reaching a $100 million market cap.”
This Friday’s prize draw, a regular event on the MetaWin platform, now boasts a value of $15,000 thanks to the inclusion of $ROCKY prizes.
“With our strong team and the unwavering support of the MetaWin community, I believe we can achieve remarkable things. $ROCKY is now the fastest-growing meme coin on the Base chain’s record. While the future looks promising, potentially scaling to Pepe’s $3 billion market cap, we always remind our community of the high-risk nature of crypto investments,” Skel emphasized.
The inception of $ROCKY was sparked by an unlikely source—a picture of Skel’s Pomeranian, also named Rocky, sitting on a pile of money. This image, generated through ChatGPT’s DALL-E AI image generator, became the token’s inaugural graphic identity across social media and various DEX tools.
In a demonstration of commitment to the coin’s longevity and their community’s trust, the MetaWin team has locked up their token allocation for at least one year, standing steadfastly alongside their community in this endeavor.
As $ROCKY’s journey unfolds, the market watches with anticipation, marking an extraordinary chapter in cryptocurrency’s dynamic history. With its current trajectory, $ROCKY transcends being just a token; it stands as a testament to what a united community can achieve behind a visionary leader and an innovative project.
