In a corner of the Internet, memes gradually dominate and become the language for online communities to share common jokes. This corner slowly breeds a new world: Memeland. Memeland is derived from 9GAG, which is a concentration of Internet humorous memes, while Memeland is an adventure to explore the unknown areas of Web3.0. Or as they describe it, it is a journey into the ‘Broken Seas’, where ‘Potatoz’ and ‘Captainz’ roam.
At the heart of Memeland is $MEME, the digital currency that powers this new world of creativity, collaboration, and dark humor.
9GAG Creator
Over the past decade, 9GAG has become a cornerstone of internet culture, engaging audiences with infectious humor and viral content. Led by founder Ray Chan, 9GAG laid the foundation for Memeland, drawing on years of experience dominating the Web2 space.
Memeland is a new world in the making. The 9GAG team is building and investing in social products for the community, connecting creators and communities through creativity, memes, and NFTs.
The world they are building has yet to be fully realized, but they have already launched three extremely successful NFT series that bring common benefits to all holders.
The Potatoz:
From the depths of internet culture emerges The Potatoz - a collection of 9,999 utility PFPs in Memeland. Inspired by memes and pop culture, each Potatoz NFT possesses unique rare features that set it apart from the rest. As a companion to The Captainz, Potatoz holders can enjoy a vibrant community and a unique staking mechanism, earning $MEME rewards and access to exclusive events in the process.
If you’re curious about where it came from, there was a popular internet joke a long time ago where at the end of every long blog post, the author would end with “Sorry for the long post, here’s a potato.”
The Captainz:
Embark on a thrilling adventure with The Captainz: The Captainz series consists of 9,999 pieces featuring the pirate captain and his brave crew. From the seas to distant shores, each Captainz NFT transports collectors into a world of daring adventures and hidden treasures. Captainz holders can choose their own avatar’s features and have governance rights in the Memeland DAO for a truly immersive experience.
Each Captainz unlocks Memeland’s native currency, $MEME, which can be earned daily through passive holding and staking, or active playing.
You The Real MVP
Celebrate the champions of internet culture with MVP - a series of 420 mysterious golden trophies inscribed with the words “In i dór -o i greatest memes lies i greatest mír.” As the oldest and most prestigious series in Memeland, MVP offers holders the opportunity to build relationships with like-minded people and gain exclusive project information, including airdrop whitelist priority and bonuses on the acquisition of various $MEME tokens.
Ahoy: Welcome to Stakeland
Memeland continues to evolve and develop a new project, Stakeland. Stakeland is a social staking protocol that provides users with the opportunity to earn rewards by staking $MEME and other tokens. Through Stakeland, participants not only contribute to the growth of Memeland, but also participate in emerging projects and create a vibrant community spirit.
During the Bitcoin halving, Stakeland conducted the first major RSIC airdrop to $MEME stakers.
Rune Specific Inscription Circuit (RSIC) is a Metaprotocol that combines Bitcoin ordinals with liquidity mining. The Metaprotocol team created 21,000 Bitcoin "NFTs" called RSIC using the Ordinals protocol.
$MEME stakers are rewarded with RSIC tokens on the Rune Protocol. This bold move highlights Memeland’s commitment to bridging the gap between different blockchain networks and constantly exploring new avenues.
Next stop for Memeland
Memeland stands as a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of community-driven initiatives. Led by founder Ray Chan, Memeland aims to help creators and users build a culture of inclusion and collaboration.
As Memeland travels through the Broken Seas, the promise and possibilities it brings attracts both potatos and captains. The project has become one of the most successful in the NFT and metaverse space, and with every new creation in the Memeland universe, the active user base is growing, and the utility of the $MEME token is increasing as well.
With a strong heritage rooted in Web2, 9GAG could be one of the first brands to successfully transition to Web3 in an authentic way, and take its millions of users on that journey together.
Sorry for the long post, here’s a potato. 🥔
