In the primary market of the Solana ecosystem, two quite representative Meme coin projects have recently emerged, each following a different community narrative.

First is DUCKY, a project centered around a cute duck image. The phrase "Ducky is the one, he's the hero" is widely circulated within the community, with participants often pairing it with images and videos of ducks, portraying this cartoon duck as a kind of "hero" or "lucky charm." The overall community atmosphere is relatively relaxed and humorous, relying on creating FOMO to attract newcomers. Some promotional voices have started to compare it to early animal Meme coins like Pepe and Bonk, attempting to ride the wave of animal-themed Meme hype.

The other project, DEGENERACY, takes a completely different approach. It directly embraces the "degen" culture within the crypto community—self-deprecating gamblers' mentality. The project's name itself plays with concepts of "degeneration" and "depravity," emphasizing ironic community themes like "gambling addiction," "send it" (crazy price pumps), and "nothing matters only degeneracy." This narrative clearly demonstrates a deep understanding of the psychology of crypto gamblers, using self-deprecation and satire to resonate.

These two projects are competing for attention in the Solana ecosystem in entirely different ways—one appeals through cuteness and pets, the other through cultural identity.
