CoinCLIP: A Multimodal Framework for Assessing Viability in Web3 Memecoins

The rapid growth of memecoins within the Web3 ecosystem, driven by platforms like Pump.fun, has made it easier for anyone to create tokens. However, this democratization has also led to an explosion of low-quality or bot-generated projects, often motivated by short-term financial gain. This overwhelming influx of speculative tokens creates a challenge in distinguishing viable memecoins from those that are unlikely to succeed. To address this issue, we introduce CoinVibe, a comprehensive multimodal dataset designed to evaluate the viability of memecoins. CoinVibe integrates textual descriptions, visual content (logos), and community data (user comments, timestamps, and number of likes) to provide a holistic view of a memecoin's potential. In addition, we present CoinCLIP, a novel framework that leverages the Contrastive Language-Image Pre-Training (CLIP) model, augmented with lightweight modules and community data integration, to improve classification accuracy. By combining visual and textual representations with community insights, CoinCLIP provides a robust, data-driven approach to filter out low-quality or bot-driven projects. This research aims to help creators and investors identify high-potential memecoins, while also offering valuable insights into the factors that contribute to their long-term success. The code and dataset are publicly available at https://github.com/hwlongCUHK/CoinCLIP.git.
