Hello everyone,
I came across an interesting project on Solana called IF Project and thought it might be worth sharing here for discussion.
At first glance it looks like another meme token, but unlike most meme plays, this one is trying to add real utility from the very beginning. The team calls it EmotionFi – finance tied to choices and emotions.
Key features so far:
Box Shop: holders can purchase boxes that reinforce liquidity, burn supply, and provide bonuses.
NFT Evolution: NFTs that change over time, tied directly to staking rewards.
Staking Pools: clear APYs with additional boosts from NFTs and boxes.
Deflationary design: usage itself contributes to reducing supply.
Payment mechanism:
When paying in SOL → 90% is added directly into the liquidity pool, while 10% goes to the team for operations.
When paying in IF tokens → 95% is recycled back into the ecosystem, and 5% is burned permanently.
Current status (on-chain data):
Around 20% of total supply is voluntarily locked.
About 17% of supply is already staked by holders.
This is still very early stage, but it shows that some actual usage is happening rather than just hype.
From what I’ve heard, the team is also preparing for a large-scale marketing push soon, which could bring more visibility.
Why it caught my attention:
Most meme tokens rely purely on speculation. Here, however, usage itself (staking, buying boxes, evolving NFTs) is what drives both value and community growth. That combination – meme + utility – feels unusual.
Open questions / feedback wanted:
Do you think such a hybrid model (meme + utility) can actually last longer than a hype cycle?
Are token burns + staking enough to sustain value in the long run?
What challenges do you see for adoption if the project scales?
