$MEME — The Power of Web2 and the Ownership of Web3 in Perfect Harmony
Everyone talks about the Web3 community, but few truly understand what happens when a Web2 giant with 200 million users actually gets involved and builds a Web3 community.
9GAG has done just that with Memeland.
From memes to marketplaces, 9GAG has transformed cultural influence into digital value—and far beyond expectations.
▸ 9GAG's Influence: 200 million users worldwide, including 55 million Instagram users and 12 million X (the internet's largest meme engine) users.
▸ Memeland and Stakeland: Web3 extensions of the 9GAG empire, built directly on top of a massive Web2 user base.
▸ Potatoz NFT: Initially free to mint, it evolved into a yield ecosystem, providing real token rewards to loyal holders.
▸ $MEME Token: Backed by Culture, Not Speculation—Representing only 2% of the total supply, it secured $8 billion in staking on Binance Launchpool.
This is more than just a token issuance; it's a cultural transformation—a comprehensive shift from entertainment to empowerment.
Ray, the founder of 9GAG, personally spent over 3,000 ETH researching NFTs before creating the Memeland universe. The Memeland universe now encompasses projects like Memeland, Stakeland, Moonit, and MemeStrategy.
Stakeland alone has distributed over $70 million in rewards.
9GAG not only created memes but also built distribution channels.
Today, this global cultural distribution has translated into ownership:
Over 772,000 holders, the world's second-largest meme community, and the fifth-largest Ethereum community.
Web2 built the audience.
Web3 unlocked ownership.
And $MEME has become the bridge connecting these two worlds. 🔥 A cultural revolution disguised as symbolism.
