# Ave AI Core Strategy #1: Inner Market Play

Early-Stage Gold Mining on Chain

#### 📌 Definition: What Is the "Inner Market"?

The **inner market** refers to the earliest phase of a token's lifecycle—when it’s still live on platforms like **Pump.fun** and hasn’t yet migrated liquidity to external DEXs like Raydium or Pumpswap.

At this stage, tokens are ultra low-cap, largely undiscovered, and often carry massive upside potential. This is **on-chain gold mining at its rawest**, and the front line for meme coin alpha hunters.
