Solana Targets Asian Market: Trends.fun Launches 100 SOL Contest for a Chinese Name to Emulate 'Ethereum's' Cultural Success!

On October 14, 2025, the tweet tokenization project Trends.fun launched a highly engaging community initiative: the "Solana Chinese Name Solicitation" contest, backed by a generous total prize pool of 100 SOL. This campaign is a sophisticated localization and marketing strategy aimed at replicating the cultural success achieved by Ethereum, whose widely accepted Chinese name, "以太坊" (Yǐtàifāng), significantly aided its adoption in the Eastern markets.

Mable, the founder of Trends.fun, stated that Solana currently lacks a universally adopted Chinese name, and now is the opportune moment to listen to the community to coin a name that will enhance cultural affinity and communication among users in the Asian region. Participants are required to quote and repost the official announcement with their proposed Chinese name for Solana. The 100 SOL prize pool is strategically distributed: 66 SOL for the best proposal, 33 SOL for the runner-up, and 1 SOL for a random participant, with "best proposal" criteria including social engagement data and popularity on Trends.fun.

This initiative has received strong, public endorsement from both the official Solana X account and co-founder Toly (Anatoly Yakovenko), signaling the project's serious commitment to its expansion strategy in the Asia-Pacific market. A successful Chinese name will critically lower the language and comprehension barrier for Chinese users. Furthermore, it will strengthen the cultural connection, positioning Solana more favorably against competing Public Chains in the race to attract developers, projects, and new users. This event underscores Solana's growing maturity and strategic ambition to secure a crucial cultural foothold for the next growth cycle.
