Meme coins combining burn mechanisms and DAO governance may temporarily extend lifecycle by creating artificial scarcity (reducing supply via burns) and fostering community engagement (DAO-driven hype cycles). Burns can boost speculative trading if paired with transparent tracking (e.g., Ethereum's "dead wallet" proofs), while DAO votes on meme updates or burn ratios maintain relevance. However, long-term survival depends on overcoming meme fatigue and avoiding governance traps: DAO participation often collapses post-hype (low voter turnout), and burns become ineffective if demand stagnates. Successful cases (e.g., Shiba Inu's Shibarium burns) require sustained viral marketing beyond tokenomics gimmicks. Ultimately, without real utility, this combo delays—not prevents—the typical "pump-to-oblivion" meme cycle.
