Solana: AI16z "partners" NFTs

Overview

This stealth mint dropped under the radar until it exploded in value due to speculation around AI16z being a parody of a16z. The hype machine was driven by influencers, Twitter threads, and meme branding. A tiny mint price of £30 became one of the largest ROI plays of the year, with collectors scrambling to grab these NFTs off secondary once the hype hit full throttle.

What Fueled the Hype

Members caught the mint early via Discord alerts and shared contract info.

Twitter influencers and Solana-native traders began posting memes and fake VC links boosting the mystery.

Volume and demand surged on secondary markets like Tensor and Magic Eden.

Fast flippers sold into the FOMO wave within 12–24 hours for thousands in profit.
