This year, the emergence of new internet people empowered by AI coding tools has empowered them to build software for Vibe Coder, the long-tailed internet. Vibe Coder tells the age of software development in the Internet economy, democratized, simple and instantly driven by builders rather than influencers.
Vibe coders require a viral, organic way to sell their products. Crypto can provide it. New generation token launchers such as Believe and L() Ng are trying to unlock atmosphere launches using tokenized ideas markets that allow users to launch and trade product ideas. Once these tokenized ideas attract sufficient support, these platforms allocate a portion of the transaction fee to builders who are willing to do so.
Idea Market is a clever way to create democratized tokens and leverage speculative trading towards distributed innovation. For vibe coders, they are ways to cause virals, attract communities and access the Internet capital market. If these new platforms can find ways to control abuse, nurture committed communities and gain mainstream traction, they can help define the next chapter of the internet and its new protagonist.
Meet the vibrator
New technology creates new people. Or, as Marshall McClehan said, “We first build the tools, then they build us.” Meet Vibe Coder: The product of Vibe-Coding Revolution. Openai co-founder Andrej Karpathy created the term “Vibe Coding” about four months ago. Since then, the term has sparked a stampede towards this internet persona.
Vibecorder is a non-technical creator who builds software products using flow-based, chatbot-oriented AI coding tools (such as Cursor and Windsurf), enabling fast and intuitive product development. Like the successful Internet persona of the past, anyone can become a cosmopolitan coder builder. When AI is coding, it’s not technical knowledge that matters, but creativity, flow and intention.
One of the crucial features of vibe coders is that they actually put the product into production, as they thought. They also quickly iterate, cooperate frequently, and welcome strange and unexpected turns during product development. Their creations range in niches and esoteric fields, but continue to rely on the present moment.
Vibe Coders should rely on the web’s viral and meme properties to bring creations to the market. They have many ancestors, but the most direct ones are cracked Z indie hackers.
Vibe Coders are still in the emergency phase, so we’re getting to know them, but they could soon have the influencer ubiquitousness in the age of corporate social networks and bloggers at the dawn of websites.
Bringing the atmosphere and launching it
Vibecorders want early market signals about which ideas and products are timely, so they can quickly seize them. They shun venture capital for funding and aim to bootstrap developments while attracting early users.
The new generation of token launchpad is trying to provide those requests using the idea market. The early movers of illustrations are believed. This has been compared to Kickstarter for long tail ideas and projects on the Internet. The flow of belief is simple. Founders or scouts send projects through the app, tag idea posts on social media using @launchacoin, and automatically create ideas related to that idea. The token will immediately begin trading in the idea market, which determines the fair value of an idea based on the size and importance of the problem being solved, and the ability of the builder to execute.
The Idea Market allows builders to assess the timeliness of product ideas and assess market demand while creating conditions for virus distribution. If sufficient transaction fees are generated in the idea market, the builder can charge a portion of them to start or continue the product itself. This means that early viral traction ideas will begin to make real profits before the product matures or a complete ecosystem is formed. Also, vibe coders can bootstrap early users economically motivated to support rapid iterations.
Over time, builders begin to integrate idea tokens into real products and their economics, instilling a more economical foundation, and bringing long-term success to token holders. Believe offers a set of APIs that support its integration, including a combustion mechanism that burns tokens based on the product’s ability to convert users.
Livesing has competitors like L()Ng and evolving Pump.Fun, and recently turned on creator fee sharing. What they have in common is that they rely on the idea market to accidentally launch real products. So far, these products include Dupe (find cheap sandy content for high-end furniture and decoration), Creatorbuddy (optimized presence in X), AVO (market of trading agents), Kaiko (app studio), and Fitcoin (AI Virtual Closet). Crypto Accelerator’s Alliancedao recently embraced the first startup launched on Believe.
Vibrator Kill
Crypto is no stranger to adopt hot stories before failing to provide them. This latest experiment has a significant proportion of critics.
A notable criticism is that the launch platform with these atmospheres is Memocoin’s rapper. It is true that Idea Token has the basic characteristics of Memecoin, but it is traded in a market that aims to constructively process information and subsidize product development as a by-product. At least in theory, this is similar to how predictive markets promote better policy decisions, or the way that policy markets promote better policy decisions. That said, to prevent the extraction industry that grows around the idea market, the platform must design to suppress automatic sniping and dumping while growing dedicated communities, or product cults. In this regard, we believe it, but we can repel snipers with taxes on early purchases and use APIs to align the token holders with our products over the long term. l()ng goes quite far by adjusting the Dutch auction of idea tokens and embedding the best schedule.
Another criticism is that the business model is non-compliant because it coordinates the ICO. However, the idea market can actually be a conformance path to funding products (not legal advice!). Because product financing is generally a byproduct or exhaust of the meme/idea market and not a sale of funding to the public. There is no legal relationship between the builder and the owner of the token, making it even more difficult to find a traditional securities issuer or investment agreement, as third parties (i.e. scouts) can be started. And the friendly SEC began allowing certain creators to use tokens to monetize their work, at least if they include NFTs. At the very least, “vibration” is a first impression case for the courts and regulators.
Finally, detractors argue that a market for ideas like followers will not attract mainstream builders and consumers who fear the wild west of the cryptocurrency. But believing is piloted by the founders of Web2, and most attracts Web2 builders. Growth hacker Nikitavia is an investor and vocal booster. Mainstream success depends on curation, safeguarding and sustainable economics. Here we have mixed Believe records. Preventing spam and lag spam and lag has been a huge pain, but the speed at which monetization takes is more extractive than 50% speed (only 30%) and does not feature Flash in the Gambling games. Recently launched, L()Ng searches for mainstream traction by integrating validated communities for curation and actively courting long-term builders outside of Web3.
Builder economy
Vibe coding is rapidly leading the economy of internet builders, where the influx of builders and their near-instant work lives. At the same time, the democratized token issuance and the idea market is creating a blueprint for launches with a tokenized atmosphere. Together, they can drive a surge in various niches and quirky products to provide a long tail of the web, and even longer. That’s good for the web and for the Crypto Ecosystem.
