6 Questions to the smol cat Team
1) What inspired the creation of smol cat, and how does its playful and "smol" persona reflect the project's overall vision?
smol cat was launched by a dev that wasn’t from our team! He launched it on Pump.fun and sold at a pretty low market cap. A different CTO team helped run it from there, and then the current one took it over again after that. What we all had in common is that we loved the smol cat. So innocent and most importantly, smol. What was he doing there in that room on the floor? Why is no one around him? He’s so smol the picture is blurry. He’s a little bit of a mystery, and I think that adds to the allure. Because of how mysterious he is, and the unknown origins of the meme, I thought creating his origins would be a fun idea, and that’s how the animation series came to be.
2) Can you share more about the story of the community taking over the project and how the original developer’s FOMO played a role in this?
When we launched it was still early Pump.fun days. Usually when the dev sold the coin was just… over. Now the meta is for the dev to “leave” and CTO happens right away.
So when the dev sold his $smol bag, the coin tanked. A community takeover happened pretty quickly, and the coin started running back up. The dev then bought back in, creating even more fomo, until it eventually ran up to 1.8M market cap on the first day.
3) How do you ensure that the community remains at the heart of smol cat and is actively involved in its growth and decision-making processes?
Community involvement is central to smol cat. We have regular AMAs (Ask Me Anything) sessions, where community members can directly ask questions and give suggestions. Additionally, we use voting mechanisms on our platform to let the community decide on key changes and updates. Our Telegram and Twitter are always buzzing with discussions, and we make sure to take community feedback seriously. This constant engagement keeps everyone invested and feeling like they are an integral part of smol cat's journey.
4) What were the biggest challenges faced during the initial stages of smol cat, and how were they overcome?
One of the biggest challenges was regaining trust after the initial dev sold his position. The sudden drop in market cap shook the community’s confidence. We overcame this by being transparent about our plans and by rallying the community around the idea of smol cat potential. Another challenge was establishing a stable team to lead the project. With a dedicated CTO and committed community members, we managed to create a solid foundation for smol cat's growth.
5) What are the unique features of smol cat that set it apart from other meme coins and community projects on Solana?
smol cat stands out due to its strong narrative and community-driven approach. Unlike other meme coins that may rely solely on hype, smol cat has a story and a persona that people resonate with. Our transition from Pump.fun to Raydium despite the dev's antics and thereafter maintaining and growing the community further, also showcases our ability to adapt and grow despite setbacks. Additionally, the upcoming animation series adds a layer of depth and engagement that most other meme coins lack. We are not just a coin; we are a community and a story that people can be a part of.
6) What is your long-term vision for smol cat, and how do you plan to achieve the goal of becoming the "smolest cat on Solana with the biggest market cap"?
Our long-term vision is to make smol cat a household name in the crypto and entertainment space. We plan to achieve this by continuing to innovate and engage with our community. The animation series is just the beginning. We aim to create more content and partnerships that will increase smol cat's visibility and appeal. By staying true to our playful and mysterious persona and maintaining a strong community focus, we believe we can achieve our goal of becoming the smolest cat on Solana with the biggest market cap.
