The Rise of MEMELAND ($MEME) is Unstoppable 🌀
What happens when the internet's largest meme empire decides to fully embrace Web3? The answer is MEMELAND—a cultural movement built by and serving meme enthusiasts, comprised of over 200 million global users of 9GAG.
Back in 2022, 9GAG CEO Ray Chan spent 3,000 ETH researching the NFT world—purchasing projects like BAYC, Azuki, and Pudgy Penguins, simply to learn. This "educational expense" became the cornerstone of Memeland, where the social power of Web2 perfectly blends with the ownership model of Web3.
🚀 Journey
It all started with MVP, which issued 420 NFTs during the darkest period of cryptocurrency; followed by the viral free release of Potatoz (9,999 NFTs); then Captainz, which rallied the ever-growing Memeland army. Each product is deeply rooted in a culture driven by memes, humor, and a sense of belonging.
💥 The Emoji Era
With support from Binance Labs, $MEME officially launched on November 3, 2023. Its community-first design philosophy revolutionized the game—25% of tokens were airdropped to loyal NFT holders, rewarding users' commitment rather than speculation. Within days, as Stakeland unlocked new ways to stake, earn, and play, $MEME's valuation soared from $2 billion to $3.5 billion.
💡 What's the Significance?
Memeland proves that Web3's greatest strength lies in its community. With 9GAG's unparalleled social influence (12 million users on X platform and 55 million on Instagram), MEMELAND is transforming internet culture into an ownable asset.
From Potatoz to Stakeland, from emojis to marketplaces—MEMELAND is more than just another crypto project.
It's a "community company" leading the next meme token supercycle. 🌐🔥
