How to meme coin on Ethereum - quick guide

OK time is off the essence so for all you newbies to ETH, here are the fundamental differences when it comes to buying, holding and selling memecoins on Eth.

Technicals

Wallets work the same, phantom, metamask (lol imagine using metamask in 2026…), ctrl, rabbi, all the wallets will connect seamlessly to ..

Uniswap (the main decentralised exchange where liquidity pools are made/ held)

There is no pumpfun bullshit on Eth. You had to have a minimum of skill and capital to make a token, those tokens are still here, liquid, alive.

Eth meme coin is a different world.

The concept of the tech is similar. You can also use some TG bots which can multichain. Personally. I dont like not holding my coins and having the full control.

So you have, wallet and the main exchange aka uniswap.

Transactions are now very cheap since the Fusaka upgrade 6 months ago, so it wont cost too much. We paid 200 500 1k for a SWAP during the 2021 meme season.

So 0.5 to 5 dollar for a swap is free.

Take it this way, it’s a little more expensive, BUT you access much better tokens, better memes, held by strong whales, richer holders, and communities alive for years.

You’re coming at the right time.

Understanding the eth meme coin ecosystem:

There are no bonding curves, and usually the pools are low fees.

This means there is no obvious instant extraction and incentive to scam like on SOL. However bundles do exist, so careful about new coins.

Dont get sandwiched/ frontran.

There is a new risk to Eth, it’s sandwich bots. The pool for your TXs are public, so bots front run, buy before you and sell after you.

On Sol, the bots buy on volume and sell, later, they still sandwich you and others, but they’re less precise. On Eth, they target each buy. They use the fact you have a slippage in your buy or sell order, and max out that slippage to resell it after.

There are a few solutions. On high volume, your buys on low slippage will often fail, and high slippage will get botted so the solution is to use a private node.

Use a known private RPC like mevblocker.io and then you cant be front ran.

In general don’t buy too big anyway, anything above 50k, split it in smaller buys.

There are other alternatives like cowswap, but it was recently compromised. No necessary for most people.

Be safe and learn the protocol for new tools, websites, coins

The protocol is the same. Find the offical address on X, and go from there.

Then double check URL, Normally you’ll have mutuals on X, following uniswap and so on and you can ensure it’s the correct twitter.

There is a risk to connecting to websites (never connect as a general rule of thumb, and certainly never approve anything, beyond the swapping website like uniswap)

There is also a risk of connecting to TG bots. So be reasonable. Less is more. Established coins have obviously been battletested and unlikely to have bad bots.

Vanguard is usually the bot guarding the TGs for most coins.

Understand distribution and holding time for success.

On Eth, most of the coins are older, several years old, this means the supply has been well distributed, and when they run back they actually hold.

The risk is this. On SOL you hold a week it’s too long, you’ve lost everything. On Eth, you hold a week you wont get the 50x you can get holding weeks / months or years.

This means holding is actually the play on Eth. Especially when you buy good memes which survived years (aka my tier list…) having a short term horizon is a mistake and you wont realise the value to be had on Eth.

A happypotterobamasonic10inu, a joe, a apu, are currently close to their lows. Buying now for a flip is the wrong strategy.

the 100xs on those coins come from a catalyst or another generational meme cycle. Both can happen on the good coins I hold, but the flipping mentality won’t work on Eth.

If you catch an asteroid doing 100x in 48h sure, but in general, shake the PTSD from SOL, good things take time.

Good memes on eth do take time. I have memes from 4-5 years ago. And they’re still in profits.

It’s a different world. That’s because there are no bonding curves or 1% fees completely killing the fragile liquidity underpinning each and every memecoin.

This is WHY Eth meme coins are long terms, and 99.9999% of Sol memes have no shot at surviving.

Don’t get me wrong I hold a few SOL gems,. I caught PNUT at 2m mcap, and it more than made up for the 100 other scams I bought…

But if you subscribe to a similar vision of memes, as long term assets, then Eth is the right chain.

Buy well. Hold. Find communities you love. And understand we’ll be here in the next years.

Same place, same chain, probably not the same price :)

Welcome to the chain of Memes, decentralization and innovation. Where real wealth is made, by having conviction and understanding the vision.

And if you think that sounds like Murad, you’re mistaken.

Murad sounds like me. He went into a “deep dive for 10 weeks” and magically, came up with all my words, ways of saying things… It’s ok to share ideas, get inspired, Ryoshi inspired half of my vision really, but give credits, it’s gonan be OK. :)

In summary,

Eth has better meme coins on average, held by richer and stronger holders, distributed in sustainable ways in sustainable low/ no fee pools and with infinitely strong communities… The tech is similar to SOL, the mechanisms the same, the dexscreeners and so on the same. AND Eth fees are now very cheap.

Missing Eth meme coins will be a serious mistake, many sense it and that’s why so many SOL CT accounts are sensing something is going on.

Anyway, dont get front-ran, tech is similar, buy quality with a longer term horizon and enjoy sleeping on tokens and waking up completely fine.

If you want to understand the type of quality tokens and communities to research.

Gl. Stay safe. Invest in quality.

Eth meme season is coming, it’ll likely also be a meme season on SOL. It’s not one or the other, But make sure exposure to the best memes on Eth under 10m 50m cap is in your strategy.

Research JOE, APU, OSAK, HPOS10i, IC to get a feel for what outlier memes with exceptional quality are.

(PS: Did I mention Ryoshi, the legendary founder of SHIB, the Elon/ Doge OGs connections and OSAK? No, ok that’s why you better get to work and DYOR, there are generational entries on some of the best ETH memes, lock in)
