Today the Firestride chat - at 6pm UTC - at #StrideZone will focus on Echos dot Fun, a project developed by members of the Stride Zone team and which has the peculiarity of bringing together two unlikely allies:
creative freedom, making the creation of any token without any type of significant investment or work in terms of coding; the use of artificial intelligence to promote them with “Echos” (we will explore further what they are and how they work .
Starting with the foundations of the platform itself, echo.fun uses #Celestia for data accessibility (it is a roll up in Celestia) while the settlement takes place in Base. That said, to start trying out the platform you need to have the right wallets to connect to the platform and transfer funds to that same wallet. At this time it is possible to transfer funds from Base and Solana using different methods.
Starting with the wallets: Phantom, Backpack and Solflare are supported by echos.fun. It is worth noting that if you intend to transfer funds from Base, an EVM network, you will have to use an EVM-compatible wallet.
Deposits from #Solana are extremely simple, using the platform's own UI: just press “deposit USDC”, connect the Solana wallet from where you want to send the funds, choose the amount and confirm.
The process for sending #Base involves more steps but is also relatively simple. You just need to have ETH (for transaction fees) and USDC on the Base network and use the USDC wrapper to obtain wUSDC which can then be sent via the bridge (“step 2” on the same page) to Echos:
One way or another, USDC reaches #Echos ready to be used, whether to pay for transactions or to acquire or create tokens. And this is where things start to get interesting. Tokens are launched following a fair launch model without any need to add liquidity. Creating a token costs R$2 and starts trading immediately. It is recommended that when creating the token, the creator buys a few dollars (5 to 10 at least) of the token to avoid “coin snipping”. Transaction fees are negligible. Then the tokens begin to be sold immediately, with a gradual increase in price, until they reach a certain maturity, when liquidity is added and the LP is burned. However, tokens can always be traded at any time.
But the platform's most interesting feature, as the name suggests, is Echos. But what do Echos consist of? These are interaction and investment profiles that can be created to sell and buy tokens. It is worth mentioning that they have their own social media accounts in order to promote interaction with the tokens available on the platform, whether created by themselves or an integral part of their portfolio. It is also possible to send some tokens as a gift to these same Echos, so that they appear in their portfolio (it is worth highlighting the caveat that these tokens can be sold without any limitations, so do not abuse the quantity).
As it is a beta phase, this functionality is currently limited to a few selected users, but registration for a waiting list is now open for anyone who wants to create their own profile in the near future.
