In the fast-paced world of meme tokens and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), one tweet can spark a wave of insights and discussions. Recently, @baoskee shared a post highlighting how @Big_Pharmai reached a $6M market cap amid a surge in large language model (LLM) related projects. The key takeaway? When one agent project succeeds, it lifts others in the ecosystem, including DAO coins. This phenomenon is what the community calls the "runner effect."

What Is the Runner Effect?

If you're new to this, the runner effect refers to the ripple impact in crypto ecosystems where the success of one project—often called a "runner"—drives momentum for related tokens and initiatives. Think of it like a relay race: one strong performer passes the baton, energizing the whole team. In the replies to baoskee's tweet, users broke it down further. For instance, it's about capital rotation, where investors shift funds between interconnected projects, shared utilities that benefit multiple tokens, and aligned incentives that lock in liquidity.

One reply from @namchan_eth nailed it: "runner effect = capital rotation + shared utility align incentives, lock liquidity." This synergy keeps the ecosystem vibrant and sustainable.

Big Pharmai's Role in the Spotlight

Big Pharmai, a community-led meme token with the ticker $DRUGS on Solana (contract address: CX9YDTED9TWgVXVoFy8JL9gSSAEWcTv4mzjLSv17LQsj), isn't just riding the wave—it's building on it. They recently launched their own agent framework called BADDIE, which stands out in the decentralized science (DeSci) space. DeSci, for those unfamiliar, uses blockchain to democratize scientific research, funding, and collaboration, moving away from traditional "Big Pharma" models.

As @Gwumpyxx pointed out in a reply, "$Drugs from @Big_Pharmai is a runner—they released their own Agent framework BADDIE—it's just a matter of time before people realize that it's coded to moon." This ties back to platforms like daos.fun, where agent frameworks and DAO tools are proliferating. If you're into DeSci, projects like this could signal the future of tokenized innovation.

How It Ties Into Broader DAO and Agent Trends

The discussion didn't stop at Big Pharmai. Replies mentioned other potential runners, like @genesyslabs_ in DeSci, and even humorous nods to tokens like $boobs or $NAZIGGA. But the core idea is clear: success in one corner of the DAO and agent world spills over. For example, when LLMs (advanced AI models that process and generate human-like text) gain traction, it boosts AI-agent coins, which in turn support DAO governance tokens.

This interconnectedness is why meme tokens aren't just jokes anymore—they're part of a larger blockchain narrative. As baoskee emphasized, "when an agent wins other agent and DAO coins win as well." It's a reminder for blockchain practitioners to watch these ecosystems closely.

Why This Matters for Meme Token Investors

If you're diving into meme tokens, understanding the runner effect can give you an edge. It's not about isolated pumps; it's about spotting networks where wins compound. Keep an eye on platforms like daos.fun for emerging agents and DAOs. And remember, always do your own research (DYOR)—crypto moves fast, and while Big Pharmai's milestone is exciting, market charts (like the one above showing a dip post-peak) remind us of the volatility.
