Episode description
This episode brings together Hypio, Buddy founder Reflexx, and LiquidLaunch’s Shisho and Josh to dissect the rise of Buddy as the first fully memetic coin on HyperEVM, chart its explosive launch through LiquidLaunch, and explore how a strategic airdrop, a polished website, and rapid DeFi integrations turned a sarcastic two‑word catchphrase into a network‑expanding asset. Along the way, the panel evaluates what “meme coin” means in 2025, compares Buddy’s organic growth with earlier ETH‑era memes like PEPE and MOG, and outlines next steps for Buddy, LiquidLaunch, and the broader Hyperliquid ecosystem.
