$TRUMP may be the memecoin to end all memecoins, or it may be the meme to create a new fusion of politics, culture and economics. It’s impossible to know, but whatever happens you can now enjoy the ride on Linea.
The $TRUMP token has officially launched on Nile on Linea, which is a beautiful, wonderful achievement in cross-chain interoperability. The sight of @TRUMP flowing on the Nile is possible because of a collaboration with Ambient, Stargate Finance, LayerZero, and Nile, bringing users, liquidity and eyeballs to the Linea ecosystem.
Few, if any, memes or tokens have ever risen as quickly as $TRUMP, and the team lost plenty of sleep to bring the token over in what we hear some people are saying was record time. That’s what people are saying.
"We got a call last Sunday (from Layer Zero to see) if we can actually do the deployment in super quick time,” explained Neil Staunton, CEO of Ambient Global. “Normally this can take weeks and this is happening in this case in hours.”
“It was just so explosive, it was literally overnight,” concurs Ambient CTO Ben Haslam. “It was faster than anything we'd ever seen before which is why we all had to basically band together and rush quickly to get it out.”
The collaboration enables bridging $TRUMP from Solana to Linea, as well as cross-chain liquidity from several other chains.
“You can actually access liquidity from (those other chains) and what this means is that with the technology from LayerZero, you’re actually accessing one circulating supply and therefore it’s interoperable between those different chains,” Staunton explained.
This seamless integration across multiple chains is powered by cutting-edge technology from LayerZero and Stargate Finance, allowing users to move assets effortlessly between networks.
“People are able to move where they want to have it and oftentimes on the chains they're most comfortable with,” added Trantor from Nile. “That's important for people who are more comfortable with Ethereum rather than say, Solana, for example and know the ecosystem better.”
The launch of $TRUMP on Linea offers traders and liquidity providers enhanced returns through Nile’s metadex model, potentially attracting significant capital and activity to the platform.
Very, very Bullish. Tremendous.
“Liquidity – in particular, Linea liquidity – flows on the Nile,” said Trantor.
Bridging and swapping $TRUMP may be just the beginning. Staunton and others look forward to the possibility of spending the token in real life via the MetaMask Card.
That’s not possible today, but $TRUMP serves as proof of the Linea team’s belief in what Christopher Kocurek termed “Memenomics.”
“When the President launches a meme coin, he just confirms Memenomics,” said Melen from Linea. “Which is very good because it is something that we firmly believe in… and at the end of the day it is very bullish for the entire ecosystem.”
