In the crypto world, naming is never just a symbol. It carries community identity, cultural affiliation, and even judgment about future trends.
On October 20, Solana’s official X account officially forwarded and confirmed its Chinese name – “Solala”.In the current context of the Chinese craze in the global encryption community, it has become a cultural event of great symbolic significance.
The name “Solala” was proposed by X user @muper (@easytopredict) in a naming campaign launched by Trends.fun founder Mable, and ultimately won.He explained,“Solala” symbolizes the spirit of creators who are constantly building and full of energy on Solana.
Solana officially confirms Chinese name “Solara“.
This name is not only appropriately transliterated and catchy, but its overlapping word structure also has a lively and positive sense of Chinese language, which perfectly fits the high-speed and innovative temperament of Solana’s ecology.
Solana’s official adoption of “Solala” has a significance far beyond a successful brand localization.It just steps on a new trend in the current global encryption circle, the strong rise of Chinese Meme and the subsequent phenomenon of global Degen learning Chinese.
Over the past few years, the narrative in the crypto market has been largely dominated by the English-speaking community.However, recently, Meme coins represented by Pepe, WIF, etc. have repeatedly achieved miracles with the help of the Chinese community, showing amazing community cohesion and capital mobilization capabilities.This unique market behavior driven by the Chinese community has made global investors realize that if they do not understand Chinese, they may miss the next wealth code.
As a result, an unprecedented scene emerged: countless foreign Degens began to study Chinese diligently, trying to understand those Chinese memes full of puns, homophonics and cultural memes.From “City is not City” to “She young young” to the recently popular “Binance Life” and “Customer Service Xiao He”, various local slogans in the crypto circle have become material for them to learn from.
Recently, Chinese memes have become popular in the crypto community.
Behind this phenomenon is not only the increasing influence of Chinese users in the global encryption ecosystem, but also reflecting that Web3 is moving from a one-way “Western export” to a new stage of multicultural integration.
In the context of the current encryption market’s increasing emphasis on regional operations, the launch of Solana’s Chinese name has multiple strategic significance.On the one hand, the Chinese market has the world’s most active retail investor group, the densest developer community, and an increasingly mature DeFi and NFT ecosystem; on the other hand, as Chinese Meme has become the new meme language of global crypto culture, mastering the Chinese context has become the key to project dissemination.
From “Solana” to “Solala”,It is not only a symbol of brand localization, but also a declaration that Solana embraces cultural diversity and actively integrates into the Chinese Web3 ecosystem.
In a world where the global crypto narrative is becoming increasingly decentralized, whoever can truly understand and respect the language, culture, and emotions of local communities will be more likely to win the next growth cycle.And Solana is clearly at the forefront of this cultural resonance.
