A recent tweet from Solana researcher @sol_nxxn has the crypto community buzzing. Posted on August 14, 2025, the thread showcases a collection of Solana-based companies that haven't yet launched their own tokens. The question posed? If you could pick just one to drop a token right now, which would it be?

The image features an array of logos from various Solana projects, ranging from infrastructure tools to NFT platforms. While not all are explicitly named in the tweet, replies from the community highlight several standouts. Let's break down some of the most mentioned ones and why they're generating excitement—especially in the context of potential meme token integrations or airdrops that could capture the wild energy of Solana's meme coin scene.

Popular Community Picks

From the replies, users are quick to nominate their favorites. Here's a rundown of the top contenders:

• Backpack: A popular Solana wallet known for its user-friendly interface and seamless integration with dApps. One reply emphatically states, "Bro @Backpack ofc." Launching a token could reward loyal users with airdrops, potentially turning it into a meme-worthy utility token for the ecosystem.

• Meteora: This DEX aggregator stands out for its efficient liquidity management. A user noted, "Meteora's token is the only one I could realistically see myself buying, staking, trading or holding long term." With Solana's fast-paced DeFi space, a Meteora token might inspire meme derivatives, blending utility with viral hype.

• Switchboard: An oracle provider that's been teasing updates without a token announcement. "Switchboardxyz has daily teases but no info yet," says one commenter. Oracles are crucial for DeFi, and a token here could fuel community-driven memes around data accuracy and reliability.

• Trojan on Solana: Mentioned multiple times, including "@TrojanOnSolana pls bro." This project appears to focus on trading tools or bots, which are hot in the meme coin trading world. A token launch could amplify its role in sniping new memes on Solana.

• Loopscale Labs: Praised for its early involvement, "LoopscaleLabs, been doing this since beta." As a scaling solution or infrastructure play, it could attract meme communities looking for faster, cheaper transactions.

• Claynosaurz: The one that "starts with a C ends with a Z." This NFT project features dinosaur-themed collectibles, already ripe for meme culture. Tokenizing it could lead to governance tokens that double as entry points for meme token farms.

Other honorable mentions from replies include RateX, Exponent, and Pera—each offering unique DeFi or perp trading features that could benefit from tokenomics.

Why the Hype Around Token Launches?

In the Solana ecosystem, where meme coins like BONK and WIF have exploded in popularity, launching a token isn't just about funding—it's about community engagement. Projects without tokens often build massive user bases first, setting the stage for lucrative airdrops. These can create instant liquidity and viral moments, especially if tied to meme narratives.

For instance, imagine a Phantom wallet token (the ghost logo in the grid) that rewards holders with exclusive meme drops or NFT mints. Or Helius (the green 'h' logo), an API provider, introducing a token for developers building the next big meme launcher.

However, not everyone is on board with rushing tokens. One reply cautions, "Only if it makes sense for them to launch a token. Pls lets stop diluting the market." It's a fair point—oversaturation could harm the ecosystem, but strategic launches often boost adoption.

What This Means for Meme Token Enthusiasts

At Meme Insider, we're all about spotting the next viral sensation. While these projects are mostly infrastructure-focused, their tokens could spawn meme offshoots. Think utility tokens that get memefied through community art, Telegram bots, or X trends. Solana's low fees make it perfect for this, turning serious projects into playgrounds for meme creators.

If you're diving into Solana memes, keep an eye on these companies. Follow updates on X or their official sites, like Backpack's website or Meteora's platform. Who knows—the next token drop might be the catalyst for a new wave of Solana memes.
