Pumpfun brought hundreds of thousands of new tokens to the market,
and Vibecoding will bring the same transformation to Web3 applications.
$GOAT is a pioneer in the AI agents space.
It successfully combined two major narratives at the time: AI Agents + Meme coins, instantly making "token value" obvious to degens.
However, $GOAT did not emerge out of thin air—its success relied on key Web2 catalysts: the infrastructure provided by X and the growing momentum from OpenAI.
If you were active in the market back then, you probably remember what happened next.
Shortly after $GOAT launched, everyone started talking about Virtual Protocol—a project that existed before the narrative exploded. For nearly a year prior, its FDV (fully diluted valuation) had hovered between $20 million and $50 million.
Today, a very similar pattern is forming around Vibecoding. The term has only recently emerged. Some degens have already begun Vibecoding simple on-chain projects, but due to lack of infrastructure—especially in Web3—these apps have yet to gain significant attention.
Here’s a breakdown:
-
The rise of Vibecoding in Web2
-
Its inevitable impact on Web3
-
The emergence of early on-chain infrastructure

Bullish signals from Web2
Bullish Signals from Web2
From May 2025 to December 2025, programming-related LLM queries increased from 11% to 50% of all LLM queries.
In less than a year, coding-related queries made up half of all LLM usage categories.
Meanwhile, the valuation of the most popular AI-powered development platform surged 72x in one year—from $400 million to $29.3 billion.
If we zoom out to survey data and research reports, three key signals stand out:
-
84% of respondents are using or planning to use AI tools in their development process.
-
41% of code is now generated by AI.
-
Developers report that AI tools boost productivity by an average of 10%-30%.
At the same time, it's important to clarify: Vibecoding is not the same as AI-assisted development.
For complex production-grade systems, relying solely on Vibecoding may be risky. Yet, given the astonishing pace of growth in this space, more and more developers will begin integrating Vibecoding into their workflows.
(According to the 2025 Stack Overflow Developer Survey, only 17% of developers currently use Vibecoding—indicating massive room for growth.)
The PumpFun Effect
A few years ago, launching your own token wasn’t easy. Teams experimented with various launch mechanisms until PumpFun introduced an extremely simple model. PumpFun simplified issuance for creators and delivered a completely new trading experience for degens. So why can't we see a similar pattern repeat for Web3 applications?
Degens are always the first users and early adopters of emerging narratives.
Many of them deeply understand what the market needs right now, how to launch products effectively, and what Crypto Twitter (CT) truly cares about—because they’ve been observing new project launches for years.
Empowering degens to turn ideas into products without coding skills or high costs is essentially supplying fresh creative fuel directly to the frontlines.
As a result, we may see hundreds of creative experiments emerge across multiple sectors:
consumer apps, trading terminals, SocialFi, prediction markets, GameFi Ponzi schemes, and more.
This phenomenon could, in turn, accelerate the growth of specific market narratives.
Beyond the Frontline: AI Integrated into Core Protocols
Beyond abstract “frontline narratives,” another direction excites me deeply—direct integration of AI into major protocols.
The simplest example is trading terminals.
Risk-free arbitrage strategies (delta-neutral strategies), points farming, arbitrage operations—all of these can be transformed into personalized bots or features simply by entering a prompt on a platform.
For example:
Monitor funding rates of tokenized stocks and automatically open positions when a significant spread appears between two perps DEXes.
In practice, this approach allows platforms to meet thousands of small user needs—simple ones often overlooked by teams.
“We already have Cursor, Replit, Lovable—why do we need a Web3 fork?”
For a while, I asked myself the same question.
But after researching extensively, the answer became clear.
Even in the Web2 Vibecoding space, there is no single dominant winner. Each platform has its own unique focus, features, and target audience.
Some products excel at solving one or two specific problems,
while others try to do everything and end up doing nothing well.
Web3 Vibecoding platforms won’t fail just because they compete with Lovable or Replit.
Their infrastructure is purpose-built for on-chain creativity—not for Web2 applications.
Web3 Vibe Ecosystem
As of December 2025, the number of Web3 projects focused on Vibecoding or development tools remains extremely limited, and cases of non-developers successfully launching meaningful Web3 products are even rarer.
Nonetheless, I believe it's important to map out the current industry landscape.
Applications/Platforms Overview
@dreamspaceHQ—Create websites, platforms, and dashboards without any coding knowledge.
Dreamspace’s core strength lies in aggregating data across multiple chains—not just via prompts to create or connect smart contracts, but also pulling data from BTC, ETH, zkSync, Sei, Base, and even Stellar, WTF?
@Minidevx—A Base-based Vibecoding platform focused on building mini-apps on Farcaster.
Currently, the product is still in early stages with relatively few live apps.
Minidev launched its token $MINI about a month ago—possibly too early. Still, @0xjenil continues actively shipping and improving the product, so I wouldn’t be surprised if high-quality apps quickly emerge on Minidev.
@Poofnew—An on-chain version of Replit
Poof lets you create on-chain websites and apps via prompts, which are passed to an agent and routed to three specialized sub-agents: UI Agent, Smart Contract Agent, and Actions Agent.
In July this year, the team demonstrated a fully Poof-built app where two users could battle over their "waifus" and bet SOL during the fight.
Projects like this showcase Poof’s flexibility as an experimental playground.
Gaming
@RemixGG_—A Vibecoding platform where you can create games on Base via prompts or play hundreds of games built by other users.
Some of these games are genuinely impressive.
The app is incredibly simple: download it to your phone, no wallet needed, swipe through content, try or build your own game.
In my view, this is exactly the kind of product that can attract Web2 users—many of whom won’t even realize they’re using Web3 infrastructure.
Development Tools
@CodigoPlatform—Codigo is an AI-driven development platform built specifically for Solana.
It combines a cloud-based IDE, specially trained AI models, and full build-and-deploy tooling.
However, unlike Poof, Codigo is hard to classify as a true Vibecoding platform—you still need some coding ability.
Trading Bots
@pigeon_trade—An AI-integrated trading bot.
Beyond spot, perps, and prediction market trading, you can chat with Pigeon and Vibecode custom functions such as:
-
Monitoring funding rates on a specific DEX, setting alerts or auto-opening positions
-
Tracking selected wallets and copying trades
-
Finding arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket and more.
Final Thoughts
Currently, high-quality Web3 Vibecoding platforms remain few and far between.
Most existing projects are either still in development or haven’t yet found product-market fit (PMF)—which is perfectly normal.
As previously mentioned, Virtual Protocol also took a long time to develop a full narrative.
Often, the product isn’t bad—it’s just launched too early.
I firmly believe 2026 will be the year we start seeing real signals:
Non-developers will independently build profitable Web2 companies powered by creativity, major platforms will integrate Vibecoding tools, and the user counts and annual recurring revenue (ARR) of Cursor, Replit, and Lovable will continue exponential growth.
As always, degens will be the first users.
In a few months—or perhaps a year—we’ll look back and compare the starting point of the Vibecoding narrative to the rise of PumpFun.
The only difference?
Pumpfun brought us hundreds of thousands of new tokens -> Vibecoding will bring the same transformation to Web3 applications.
