ETH Disappoints but On-Chain Meme Activity Heats Up? A Roundup of This Week's Hot Projects
Bro, did you guys make money again?
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsBy: TechFlow
The market has been dull, and with the Ethereum Foundation once again selling off ETH, the price of the flagship altcoin ETH naturally became unappealing. From its price to the foundation and even its founder, ETH has been criticized across the board.
Despite the widespread FUD, activity on Ethereum's mainnet has seen a surge in recent days, delivering multiple 10x and 100x returns. Some trending tokens aren't just flash-in-the-pan phenomena but appear to be gaining momentum. Even Gwei fees, which had previously slumped, have risen due to this on-chain activity.
Perhaps the market is tired of the intense PVP scenes on Solana, BSC, and Tron, or perhaps certain coordinated groups have already shifted their focus and moved early into Ethereum mainnet positioning. In crypto, anything unusual is always worth paying close attention to.
After all, what does the FUD around ETH have to do with on-chain opportunities? Since price gains don’t lie, let’s quickly review the latest wealth-generating trends emerging on Ethereum mainnet this week.
1. $VISTA and Its Ecosystem
Ethervista
Ethervista is a new DEX built on Ethereum aiming to address issues in current AMMs such as high gas fees, unstable LP rewards, and token rug risks.
Unlike Uniswap, where trading fees are paid in traded tokens, Ethervista uses native ETH for fee payments and offers fee-sharing mechanisms for both LP providers and token creators. The platform also plans to expand into broader DeFi services in the future.
Overall, Ethervista's biggest selling point right now is being "a dividend-paying version of Uniswap."
While the improvements are relatively simple and not particularly groundbreaking, the fact remains that the token $VISTA has delivered strong price action—and retail investors have eagerly bought in:
$VISTA gained traction in Chinese communities on its launch day (September 1), briefly reaching a $2.8 million market cap before pulling back. Then, on September 2, Twitter user jingtao (@muzzyvermillion) promoted the token, triggering a massive rally. $VISTA surged to nearly $40 million in market cap—approaching a 70x gain from its low on September 1.
The WINDOWS IP Meme Trend Sparked by $VISTA
Once a trend emerges, those who missed the initial move often look for alternative plays. Since Ethervista adopted a nostalgic Windows-style UI reminiscent of CurveFinance, FOMO quickly spilled over into other Windows-themed meme coins like $CLIPPY and $BONZI, which were treated as leveraged versions of $VISTA.
$VISTADOG
One of the earliest memes to piggyback on $VISTA’s momentum. It caught some early attention when the market was still receptive. However, with weak narrative and no apparent team backing it, the price eventually collapsed—unsurprisingly so.
2. The Battle Between $Neiro and $NEIRO
The debate between lowercase $Neiro and uppercase $NEIRO, which began in July, remains unresolved. One day the lowercase version surges; the next, the uppercase one bounces back.
From the heated discussions on Twitter, it appears the lowercase $Neiro leans more toward community-driven development, with strong community cohesion and consensus, showing a more organic price rhythm...
Meanwhile, uppercase $NEIRO lacks grassroots support, appears heavily controlled, and is suspected to be manipulated by organized actors—the price chart clearly shows signs of artificial manipulation.
This week, the battle continued: first, $Neiro doubled in price, followed by a sustained rebound in $NEIRO, which surged fourfold by the time of writing and has already been listed on OKX futures.
3. Image-Token Protocol Etheism
Etheism follows the image-token protocol model, similar to the Pandora Protocol that went viral earlier this year. The token $E has a total supply of 1,000 tokens and has seen a steady price rise since launch, currently sitting at a $4.2 million market cap.
The image-token concept isn't entirely new, but $E has maintained solid trading volume and price stability. The project’s core image has not yet been revealed.
4. Various ETH Pump Platforms
Recently, pump applications have swept across all chains, becoming go-to tools for driving traffic. This week, two notable pump platforms launched tokens on Ethereum mainnet.
Print.Fun (Nearly Zeroed Out)
Right after VISTA took off, Print.Fun quickly capitalized on the hype. Its token $PRINT had a strong debut and generated significant FOMO on Twitter, but failed to sustain momentum and has since crashed to near zero...
Just like Print.Fun, the name says it all. Although Chef.Fun copies directly with limited innovation, its token $CHEF didn’t crash like $PRINT. Instead, it managed to climb, currently holding a $3.5 million market cap with around $780,000 in daily trading volume.
A sudden entrant in the ETH mainnet pump space, TaxFarming skips bonding curves, lists tokens directly on Uniswap, avoids malicious features like貔貅 (Pump-and-Dump traps), and intelligently reduces transaction taxes based on trading fees.
Their very first tweet declared: "Liquidity burned, feel free to jump in."
The token $FARM surged nearly 160x within half a day of launch, peaking at around $10 million in market cap. After the FOMO phase, the price corrected sharply and now sits at approximately $2.5 million.
