What is Memecoin: how MEME token may be a game changing memecoin

MEMEcoin is a new cryptocurrency that is gaining popularity in the digital space. It is backed by the Memeland platform, which aims to combine internet memes with blockchain technology.

On one end of the crypto spectrum, you'll find altcoins like Solana and Ripple that promise to better the world with their unique blockchain-based solutions. On the opposing end, you'll find memecoins. Whether you're a crypto veteran or a beginner in the crypto scene, you'll likely have heard of these meme-based coins and tokens. From Dogecoin to Pepe tokens, these memecoins are often plastered across social media as crypto enthusiasts often post about them while poking fun at their popularity. While the trend seems to have slowed down as of late after the meteoric rise of PEPE, Memeland seems to have got the meme train going again with their latest project, Memecoin. Wondering what's the hype behind the memecoin brought to us by the team behind 2008's legendary internet humor platform 9GAG? From grasping the Memeland ecosystem to MEME tokenomics, here is what you need to know about Memecoin and the excitement behind the MEME token.

What is Memecoin?

Pegged as the one meme to rule them all, Memecoin is an ERC-20 digital token launched by Memeland, the Web3 venture backed by the creative minds behind the original 9GAG. With no functions, utility, intrinsic value, roadmaps, promises or expectations of financial gains, Memecoin is designed by Memeland to be a token that's completely useless and designed for entertainment purposes only.At surface value, Memecoin seems to be your run-of-the-mill meme token that checks all the boxes. From a whitepaper that's vague about MEME's future potential to supply tokenomics that pays homage to a commonly referenced number in internet culture, Memecoin's foundations seems to unashamedly be based on internet pop culture and poking fun at the overt seriousness of cryptocurrencies. However, digging deeper and researching on Memecoin's associated NFT ecosystem might reveal more nuggets of information that MEME token traders might want to take note of.

How does Memecoin work?

Being a publicly traded memecoin, it's key to first understand how Memecoin fits in with fellow meme-related coins and tokens. Similar to how PEPE handles its roadmap, Memecoin lacks a structured roadmap that we're typically used to. There are no signs or indications of Memeland intending to make MEME deflationary or improve the Memecoin ecosystem down the line. Rather, Memeland seems to be making a statement that pokes fun at the state of today's crypto scene with its Memecoin whitepaper. In it, Memeland states that "MEME has no functions, no utility and no intrinsic value" and "there is no promise or expectation that any ecosystem will even be developed for MEME". This contrasts the sentiment and planning present in original memecoins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu that pride themselves on both being a memecoin and having a structured plan for the memecoin's future. Whether this project is intended to be a parody or not, it's up to the community to decide. But what we do know is that Memeland has created a unique memecoin with an interesting use case and potential for entertainment value.With how Memeland and 9GAG have a habit to mislead and 'troll', we can likely infer that there's more to this than meets the eye when it comes to understanding how Memecoin works beyond being just a joke in the crypto scene. While Memeland has outrightly mentioned that there may not be any plans for MEME in terms of use cases, it seems that there are some efforts towards linking it to the Memeland ecosystem and its array of NFTs. To uncover more information about Memecoin and how MEME tokens intend to play into Memeland's overarching plan, we can delve into Memeland's background and tokenomics. This will likely shed some light on how MEME is going to be incorporated into Memeland's ecosystem.

Who is Memeland: a brief history of what Memeland is

Memeland is a Web3-focused venture studio that's focused on building social products for the community and creating an all-inclusive Web3 platform. According to a now-deleted Memeland tweet, Memeland has a three-part strategy that involves NFTs for community building, the MEME token for creating and decentralizing value, and an overall product for reaching the masses. Thus far, Memeland has launched three NFT projects, which are all utility-enabled profile pictures (PFPs). They include YOU THE REAL MVP (launched in June, 2022), The Potatoz (launched in June, 2022), and The Captainz (launched in January, 2023).

Memeland Raids

YOU THE REAL MVP, THE POTATOZ, and THE CAPTAINZ NFT holders were able to participate in Raids in May, 2023. They were large-scale SocialFi events that involved working with other participants to pool their Memeland resources in organized Crews. The Crews would then compete for the top spot on the leaderboard. Thanks to the introduction of these community events, there was even more incentive to own and trade Memeland NFTs as community engagement spiked and Crews learned to combine different NFTs to earn more Raid rewards.

Future Memeland utility

While details are rather cryptic when it comes to the future utility of these PFPs, a couple of details surfaced of events and projects in their "IN THE WORKS" section. They include:

  • HOLDERS.COM: termed as the "Tripadvisor for your Web3 journey”.

  • GMGM.COM: described as a “Web3 OnlyFans” platform but with clothes required.

  • STAKELAND: Memeland stated the project focuses on "making crypto staking fun".

  • PETSLAND: termed as a project for "pet lovers only".

Final words and next steps

As with all crypto projects, traders should definitely keep in mind the risks of trading tokens which have been labeled as one big internet joke. As mentioned at the start of our Memecoin guide, MEME is said by its creators to be a useless token. Is this truly the case? While outrightly stated to be for entertainment purposes, Memeland's numerous community initiatives to get their fanbase involved might hint otherwise. From vague future plans to innovative community engagement events, Memecoin might be a rabbit hole worth going down considering how the Memeland team is going all out to make MEME the next big thing in the crypto space.Intrigued about the future of Memecoin?
