Now, the company has announced a four-week contest where creators, developers, and users can explore Soneium\u2019s capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign will be hosted on the Galxe platform and will focus on gaming, communication, and creativity.<\/p>\n<p>Sony is heavily invested in media production and distribution through Sony Pictures and Sony Music, so Soneium gives power back to artists, game developers, and fans through accessible, inclusive content.<\/p>\n<p>This sense of unity lies at the core of Web3 philosophy, particularly decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) like Lido and MANTRA. Community governance drives these projects toward shared goals and is often more effective than centralized decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>If Soneium gains mainstream adoption, these DAOs could also benefit from growing demand for projects that put the community first.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Wall Street Pepe ($WEPE) Raises $63M with Community-Centric Approach<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/visit\/wallstreetpepe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Wall Street Pepe ($WEPE)<\/a> is an interesting DAO-like crypto project. Still on presale, it raised over $63M, becoming the second-most-popular presale to date (behind only Pepe Unchained).<\/p>\n<p>The reason for such strong momentum is community support against institutional investors \u2013 presale buyers have become tired of whales manipulating the market and decided to rise up against them.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-381832 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/wall-street-pepe-presale-interface.jpg?w=640&amp;resize=700%2C451\" alt=\"Wall Street Pepe presale interface\" width=\"700\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/wall-street-pepe-presale-interface.jpg?w=1254 1254w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/wall-street-pepe-presale-interface.jpg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/wall-street-pepe-presale-interface.jpg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/wall-street-pepe-presale-interface.jpg?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/wall-street-pepe-presale-interface.jpg?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/wall-street-pepe-presale-interface.jpg?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\"><\/p>\n<p>$WEPE holders will receive key trading insights to help them find hidden crypto gems and profit like never before.<\/p>\n<p>While technically not a DAO, Wall Street Pepe checks all the boxes of one:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Strong community incentives and a loyal foundation<\/li>\n<li>Rewarding users for participating in ecosystem decisions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The project is all about giving power back to the unbanked and creating a freer crypto market where regular traders don\u2019t get hoodwinked by large whales.<\/p>\n<p>The concept of DAOs is not new, but never before has a project encouraged active participation this way. In traditional DAOs, users often forget to exercise their governance rights because they don\u2019t have a strong incentive. Wall Street Pepe changes this.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/best-crypto-presales-to-invest-in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">presale<\/a> hasn\u2019t ended; there\u2019s still an opportunity to <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/how-to\/how-to-buy-wall-street-pepe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">buy $WEPE<\/a> at a low price and join this rapidly growing community.

MIND of Pepe ($MIND), an AI Agent with a Bright Future<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/visit\/mindofpepe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">MIND of Pepe ($MIND)<\/a> is another community-centric meme coin presale that takes a different approach to DAO-based rewards.<\/p>\n<p>The AI agent will curate crypto recommendations and insights after analyzing trends and crypto intelligence in real time.<\/p>\n<p>Better yet, this will be an automated process. The AI will interact with influencers and engage with decentralized communities and platforms all by itself.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-381851 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/mind-of-pepe-tech-map.jpg?w=597&amp;resize=597%2C420\" alt=\"MIND of Pepe tech map\" width=\"597\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/mind-of-pepe-tech-map.jpg?w=949 949w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/mind-of-pepe-tech-map.jpg?w=597 597w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/mind-of-pepe-tech-map.jpg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/mind-of-pepe-tech-map.jpg?w=938 938w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/mind-of-pepe-tech-map.jpg?w=750 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 597px) 100vw, 597px\"><\/p>\n<p>Although not a traditional DAO project, $MIND behaves like one in every way. Holders will receive exclusive rewards in the form of crypto insights and analyses.<\/p>\n<p>And everyone is incentivized to HODL and contribute to the ecosystem by staking their tokens. So far, over 670M tokens have been staked for a jaw-dropping 522% APY.<\/p>\n<p>One $MIND is now $0.0032144, and the presale has raised $4.2M, with the price increasing in the next 14 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Considering the AI industry is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/outlook\/tmo\/artificial-intelligence\/worldwide#market-size\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">estimated to reach $826B by 2030<\/a>, it\u2019s easy to see how AI agent projects like $MIND are catching so much investor attention.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Audius ($AUDIO), With Soneium, Might Reignite the Decentralized Music Revolution<\/h2>\n<p>Audius is an established project that hit the market in 2020. However, after the initial hype wore off, it struggled to gain adoption, and the value of the $AUDIO token dropped from $4 to $0.13.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/soneium-launches-solaxy-could-pump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Soneium mainnet launch<\/a> might breathe new life into $AUDIO.<\/p>\n<p>Audius is a decentralized music streaming protocol that gives creators full control over their content.

This means that indie creators can barely earn enough for coffee, so Audius implements a tipping system where artists get 100%.<\/p>\n<p>Soneium\u2019s and Audius\u2019 vision aligns, so the project might very well migrate from Solana to this new network in the future.<\/p>\n<h2>4.

And is this the top?<\/p>\n<p>MANTRA is a decentralized finance protocol that offers services like staking, lending, and real-world asset tokenization. But community-led governance is one of MANTRA\u2019s main appeals.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, MANTRA integrates the Cosmos ecosystem for interoperability with other blockchains through the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol.<\/p>\n<p>As an Ethereum-based project, MANTRA could also integrate with Soneium and lead as an example for other DeFi platforms on the network.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Remarks<\/h2>\n<p>The main difference between Web2 and Web3 isn\u2019t the technology \u2013 it\u2019s the vision.
