$ALPHA
Overview
$ALPHA is the community memecoin of the Net ecosystem.
Origin of $ALPHA
$ALPHA originated as a fair-launch memecoin on Base, deployed via Net with no hype, KOLs, incentives, or inflated TGE price.
$ALPHA wasn't the first memecoin and likely won't be the last created on Net. The community rallied behind it during a vote: the first memecoin to reach 1,000,000 upvotes on Net would become the "unofficial memecoin of Net." $ALPHA won this vote, surpassing the milestone first, which solidified its status. This was a community-driven decision, not pre-planned, and it has since accumulated over 2 million upvotes, demonstrating organic support.
Purpose of $ALPHA
$ALPHA is the community memecoin of the Net ecosystem, which consists of a suite of free onchain public goods (e.g., Net protocol, Storage, Score, etc.), apps by creators, and a community of users.
$ALPHA's purpose is to embody memetic value without introducing utility, roadmaps, or expectations that could compromise Net's integrity as a free public good. It was designed to avoid "tokenomics," allowing Net to remain adoptable without mandatory fees or tokens.
Role in the Net Ecosystem
$ALPHA is an unconventional approach to a token: a fair-launch memecoin associated with an onchain public good ecosystem, with no roadmap, utility, or expectations to avoid pricing in hype that could lead to disappointment or toxicity.
It's positioned as a community memecoin for those early to Net. If Net becomes foundational infrastructure (somewhat analogous to "IP addresses" on the internet), $ALPHA could become culturally significant as the memecoin that emerged alongside it.
Roadmap, Expectations, and Disclaimer
Explicitly, there is no roadmap, no utility, and no expectations for $ALPHA or Net — this is repeated across nearly all social posts to manage community mindset and avoid pitfalls like unmet promises leading to price crashes or blame.
$ALPHA is framed as a pure memecoin. This path may be unconventional and possibly unprecedented. Nothing about Net or $ALPHA should be interpreted as an expectation of profit. Prices may go up or down. Nothing published about Net or the Net ecosystem (including $ALPHA) is financial advice.
