MemeCore has officially launched its EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain, introducing a structured framework to address persistent volatility and short-term speculation in the meme coin market. The project aims to reposition meme coins as digital assets that derive value from cultural contribution and on-chain activity.
According to a study by Chainplay, 97% of meme coin projects fail within a year, with most created on automated platforms like Pump.fun disappearing within days. Despite these risks, meme coins have demonstrated outsized short-term performance. From January to May 2025, meme coins delivered an average return of 33.08%, the highest across major crypto categories.
Against this backdrop, MemeCore’s mainnet launch proposes an alternative model to improve longevity and value creation in the meme coin space through its proprietary “Proof of Meme” (PoM) consensus mechanism and multi-layered incentive system.
On-Chain Incentives and Cultural Value
MemeCore’s network architecture is designed to quantify and reward the creation, remixing, and distribution of meme content. Each new meme coin minted on the platform generates a “Meme Vault”—a smart contract that acts as a reward pool to support the coin’s continued development and engagement. Participants earn $M tokens and MRC-20 meme tokens based on measurable contributions, moving beyond speculation toward sustained cultural involvement.
The PoM consensus mechanism combines elements of Proof-of-Authority and delegated Proof-of-Stake, with validator roles rotated every 10 blocks. Validators are required to self-stake 7 million $M tokens, while delegators may stake either $M or whitelisted meme coins. Rewards are distributed across $M stakers (75%), meme token delegators (24%), and block proposers (1%).
Tokenomics and Supply
MemeCore’s native token, $M, has a capped supply of 10 billion, with 5 billion tokens currently issued. As of September 1, 2025, circulating supply stands at approximately 1.03 billion $M, with a market capitalization of $706 million and a fully diluted value of $6.79 billion.
Token allocation emphasizes community alignment: 58% is allocated to community incentives, 15% to the foundation, 13% to core contributors, 12% to investors, and 2% to the Meme Treasury. Each new meme coin mints 5% of its supply into a vault with linear distribution over 1,000 days.
Deflationary mechanisms include permanent burns from transaction fees and staking locks that reduce the liquid supply.
Ecosystem Applications
MemeCore supports a range of dApps and infrastructure services. MemeX allows no-code MRC-20 token creation with leaderboard features; PUPA enables rapid token and NFT generation; and Everyswap integrates Uniswap v3-based AMM functionality on the network. Additional infrastructure includes MemeCore Stake (multi-token delegation UI), MemeCoreScan (on-chain analytics), and developer tools like MemeCore Faucet and OKLink explorer services.
Gaming integration is led by Memes. War, a Telegram-based play-to-airdrop platform. MemeCore also supports external dApp onboarding through its LIFT Ecofund, offering up to $100,000 in grants.
Strategic Partnerships and Market Access
MemeCore has secured strategic investments from Waterdrip Capital, AC Capital, IBC Ventures, and others. A partnership with the NEO blockchain enables joint development of cross-chain functionality for the PoM framework. PrestoLabs provides capital and regulatory support, while Meson Free Bridge facilitates native $M token bridging to BNB Chain.
MemeCore’s token, $M, was simultaneously listed on several centralized exchanges on July 3, 2025, including Binance Alpha, Kraken, Bitget, BingX, HTX, MEXC, and Hashkey. On Bitget, 24-hour M/USDT trading volume reached $10.2 million; MEXC posted $3.2 million. $M is also traded on Uniswap v3 and PancakeSwap, with DEX liquidity concentrated in a $155,000 M/USDT pool.
Derivatives trading is active across Binance, Bybit, KuCoin, Gate.io, and others, with daily futures volume exceeding $4 million. $M reached an all-time high of $1.15 on August 30, 2025—representing a 2,400% increase from its listing price.
Community Engagement and Campaigns
MemeCore’s marketing approach emphasizes community engagement through both online and offline initiatives. The “Trump Dinner” leaderboard campaign placed second in a $TRUMP token-based competition, involving a $17.5 million token purchase and over 3 million campaign participants.
From June to July 2025, MemeX ran the “Proof-of-Shit” social campaign in collaboration with Kaito. The campaign topped Kaito’s mindshare leaderboard and distributed $700,000 to participating communities. Offline presence has included Token2049 in Dubai, KBW 2024 in Hong Kong, and participation in the upcoming KBW 2025 at Lotte World.
