View ChartMemecoin (MEME) is the official ecosystem token of Memeland, a web3 venture studio created by the team behind 9GAG, the globally recognized humour and meme platform. According to its own documentation, MEME is explicitly designed as a utility-free token: the whitepaper states it "has no functions, no utility and no intrinsic value" and exists "for entertainment purposes only." It is an ERC-20 token with a fixed supply of 69 billion. A quarter of the total supply was allocated to people who paid nothing for it, according to LeveX; circulating supply is about 93.86% of the 69 billion total (CoinMarketCap). Rather than a technical protocol or DeFi primitive, MEME functions as a branded cultural asset whose market value reflects attention toward the Memeland and 9GAG ecosystem.
The contract source code is verified (Exact Match) on Etherscan.
MEME was launched in November 2023 by Memeland, the web3 venture studio from the founders of 9GAG. This corporate connection is central to the token's identity: 9GAG is a long-established global platform dedicated to humour and memes, giving MEME an official issuer with a large existing audience in the exact cultural niche it represents. Unlike many anonymous community coins, MEME is backed by a known media company. The project is issued by the 9GAG founding team; individual team members are not named in the project's public materials. At launch the token raised $10 million in funding, even though it was described at the time as "really just 100% a meme token" (Bittime, Dec 1, 2023).
MEME operates as a standard ERC-20 token on the Ethereum network, meaning transfers and custody rely on Ethereum's infrastructure and wallet standards. Its supply is fixed at 69 billion, with a significant portion distributed to Memeland NFT holders, tying the token's initial ownership to the studio's existing community. Because the hard cap is fixed and there is no minting function, new MEME cannot be created. There is no staking protocol or cash-flow model described in its documentation. Instead of deriving value from network activity or fees, MEME's price is driven by social sentiment, NFT floor prices, and the cultural relevance of the Memeland brand. In effect, it functions as a tradable proxy for attention toward the 9GAG ecosystem.
Per LeveX, the hard cap is 69 billion tokens with no minting function and no burn mechanism; one third-party source (All Crypto Whitepapers) instead describes a 1% burn on transactions, a claim that conflicts with the no-burn description and is not confirmed by the project's own documentation.
MEME's uniqueness lies in its candid positioning: rather than promising utility, its whitepaper openly disclaims any function and financial return. This makes it a pure cultural bet. Its value proposition rests on the attention economy — the token acts as a tradable index of internet attention toward Memeland and 9GAG initiatives. This is reflected in its sensitivity to social media trends and NFT floor prices. Partnership announcements and social-media trends are among the factors cited as influencing sentiment toward the token. For investors, MEME represents exposure to a branded community rather than to technical fundamentals, and its long-term value depends on the studio's ability to remain culturally relevant.
According to its official documentation, MEME has no functional use cases: it is not required for network operations, governance, staking, or payments within a protocol. Its primary role is speculative and cultural — holders can trade it as a liquid expression of sentiment toward the Memeland ecosystem. It also serves as a community token connecting participants in Memeland's NFT collections, aligning token holders with the studio's audience. Any perceived "use" is therefore social and speculative rather than technical, and the project itself frames the token as existing for entertainment purposes only.
The whitepaper adds that no person is bound to enter into any contract or binding legal commitment in relation to the acquisition or receipt of MEME, and that no digital asset or other form of payment is to be accepted on the basis of the Whitepaper or the Websites. A later EU-facing version states that the crypto-asset white paper has not been approved by any Competent Authority in any EU Member State.
The Memeland ecosystem is built around the web3 venture studio and its associated NFT collections, notably The Potatoz and The Captainz, which received a large share of the MEME supply. Signals that shape sentiment include social-media trends, NFT floor prices and partnership announcements. Because the whitepaper disclaims a roadmap, ecosystem growth is not measured by technical milestones but by the studio's continued cultural relevance and community engagement. Detailed public information on future development plans is currently limited.
MEME cannot be mined: it is an ERC-20 token whose 69 billion supply was created at issuance (token start date 2023-11-03), and Ethereum had already moved to proof-of-stake before that date, so no proof-of-work mining applies. There is also no staking or yield mechanism described for MEME in its official documentation, since the token is explicitly utility-free. The primary way tokens entered circulation was through distribution to holders of Memeland NFT collections such as The Potatoz and The Captainz. Consequently, acquiring MEME today generally means purchasing it on supported trading venues rather than mining or staking it.
Because MEME is an ERC-20 token, it can be stored in any wallet that supports Ethereum-based assets, including reputable hardware wallets and well-regarded software wallets. Best practices include safeguarding your seed phrase offline, never sharing private keys, and verifying token contract details before interacting with unfamiliar assets, since meme tokens are frequently targeted by impersonators. For larger holdings, a hardware wallet provides stronger protection against online threats. Users should also be cautious of unsolicited token airdrops and phishing links, and should double-check wallet addresses before every transfer. Note that Etherscan lists no contract security audit for MEME, so the token contract itself has not been independently reviewed; wallet hygiene protects your keys but not the asset's value.
MEME trades on a large number of venues — Coinbase reports 239 active markets and Yahoo Finance 247 — and carries a Binance Launchpool tag on CoinMarketCap. Choose an exchange licensed in your jurisdiction, verify the contract address 0xb131f4A55907B10d1F0A50d8ab8FA09EC342cd74 before buying, and start with spot trading. To acquire it, use a reputable exchange available in your jurisdiction, complete identity verification, and buy MEME/USDT on the spot market. Leveraged and contract trading carry a risk of losing more than your initial margin and is not suitable for most retail holders.
MEME has no utility or underlying value and its price is driven by market sentiment; meme coins frequently experience sharp price collapses, and the project's whitepaper states that no person is bound to enter into any contract or binding legal commitment in relation to the acquisition of MEME.
