Why Abstract Chain is up Next

Out With the Old, In With the New

Trading in the Solana trenches can feel unprofitable and exhausting as more projects compete for attention and market-cap thresholds keep shrinking. The smartest approach is usually to dollar-cost average into long-term positions and ride out volatility until the market is overheated. But I get it—the temptation of a quick trade can be hard to resist.

A quick note: avoid trading small-cap meme coins unless you can devote 12–16 hours a day to watching the market and you truly have an edge. Almost everyone who chases meme bounces ends up losing money.

Still here? Okay—just don’t say I didn’t warn you. Here’s where the new money is being made in the trenches.

Abstract Chain

Abstract Chain is the native blockchain powering Abstract, a Web3 streaming platform similar to Twitch. Built and run by Igloo Inc. (the same team behind Pudgy Penguins), it plans to launch its own token with an airdrop for both Pudgy holders and active users who have earned Abstract XP. You earn XP by interacting with the chain: watching streams, staking, or completing on-chain side quests. XP boosts your rewards and airdrop eligibility.

A Different Trading Culture 

Abstract coins feel much more PVE. The good projects have the whole community working for their bags by making memes and proliferating their favorite characters. This makes the tokens last longer than most SOL projects today and therefore more of them survive the first big dip(not a hard and fast rule, you can still get wrecked). 

Most of the successful coins are penguin related because the biggest proponents of Abstract Chain are almost all supporters of Pudgy Penguins too. Many of the most recent cooks have been characters or memes from the new Lil Pudgy's TV show. 

How to Get Setup

Moving liquidity onto Abstract Chain can be a pain, but I’ve found a smoother route(more tools are on the way to make trading there even easier).

First, create an Abstract Wallet (this is where you’ll receive your profits). Next, join Telegram and set up the Looter Trading Bot—its speed outpaces the built-in trading tools in most Abstract wallets. Then connect your regular trading wallet (I use Phantom) to relay.link. Copy your Abstract Wallet address from the Looter bot and paste it as the “to” address in your bridge (always test with a small amount first). On the bridge, select ETH as your source and ETH on Abstract as your destination. Once the transfer completes, you can trade tokens directly in Telegram. When you’re ready to cash out, move your profits into a separate Abstract-compatible wallet (not a standard ETH address) and use the same relay bridge to convert back to ETH.

High Conviction Plays 

Abster- Abster is the original penguin meme on Abstract Chain. First-mover advantages in meme tokens can be significant, if Abstract’s popularity continues to grow, Abster could easily hit a $100 million+ market cap.

Polly-In the Pudgy Penguins universe, Polly is Pengu’s wife. As the Pengu token rises alongside Pudgy’s dominance, Polly’s price should follow suit. 

Tips for Trades 

When trading low-market-cap coins, look for active communities that are working for their bags—projects with a strong X presence and good culture. Beware of honeypots on Abstract (I learned that the hard way).

Always trade with a clear plan. If you’re in for the long haul, avoid going all-in on the first dip. If you’re aiming to flip up to a $100k market cap, set strict sell targets and stick to them. Trade alongside a group you trust, it makes everything simpler and less stressful.

Conclusion 

Abstract chain is here to stay. Learn the ropes now, get some XP and perfect your long-term and short-term strategies before everyone and their mother shows up to trade penguin memes. Be careful and consider putting your profits into some Pudgy NFTs for the culture (NFA lol).
