I had previously done a proposal to source revenue for HIVE through memes on Solana and to bridge a user base in from there. It didn't get approved but I went forward with my plan and launched $ZENA 7 days ago. https://zena.fun/
Slow and steady so far and at $51,000 in market cap.
I think the bridge has certainly been memes and we see with DOGE it has an extreme amount of power all over the globe.
This is very analogous to sports mascots. There is no little animal to get behind for something like EOS.
