The way to differentiate culture and community from the mercenaries pretending to be community.

How It Works:

Understanding memekek.tech:

So we set out to answer the question “which meme community is the most legit?” and found that there’s actually no way to answer the question. Instead, we found overwhelming lists of memes fractured across chains and tools and we found ourselves overall bearish by pages and pages of rugs.

We see memes as powerful communities with cult-like followings, similar to sports teams, but unlike sports teams, there was no way to rank them… Marketcap? Nope. Holders? That’s a lie.

So we decided to build memekek.tech, the world's first and only meme culture ranking system where community can show up and be rewarded for their cultural conviction.

We needed an objective way to find the best communities. A registry of culture. A programmatic way to understand what is loved the most, by the most.

On memekek.tech you can buy and sell memes without the risk of your position going to $0, it’s pretty much a no brainer. How you ask? We dreamed up a new smart contract dynamic that doesn’t require a token and doesn’t expose users to the risk of their coin going to $0. Short of a catastrophic failure, the most ETH you can lose is 12%. We’re redefining everything and if you don’t get it, don’t worry, we’ve got your back.

The Process

1. Sign up
2. Upload your own memes or browse the uploads of others
3. Deposit ETH to obtain “keks” of your favorite memes
4. Battle to get your memes to the top of the leaderboard
5. Battle to become one of the top curators of memes on the internet

When you upload a meme, you will go down in on-chain history as the creator of that meme.

Upon meme creation, a new ERC-4626-esque vault gets created for the meme. By depositing ETH into a meme’s vault, you will receive KEKs, representing ownership of the meme’s vault. As other users deposit / withdraw ETH from the vault, you will accumulate fees from their activity, in the form of KEK price increases. As the KEK price increases, you will be able to redeem your KEKs for more ETH.

So, the formula is simple: create memes, deposit ETH, receive KEKs, earn ETH.

The result is a TCR of the most culturally relevant memes in existence.

Yes - you heard that right. TCRs are back, and better than ever.

Memes are culture. Memes are art. Memes have historical provenance. Memes are forever. Memes are everything.

Don’t miss your chance to own your piece of the memes of production and have your name be remembered for all time.

Introducing kekenomics (how fees & pricing works):

Memekek.tech is powered by smart contracts drawing inspiration from the 4626 and 1155 standards, to optimize for gas efficiency for memes-at-scale.

When depositing into a vault of a meme, a 5% fee is paid to all current KEK holders of the vault. When withdrawing from a vault, another 5% fee is paid to all current KEK holders of the vault.

With this, KEK holders benefit every time there is a deposit event AND every time there is a withdrawal event.

As such, you want to be the first in, and the last out.

A new paradigm, diamond-handers are rewarded, instead of watching their positions go to zero.

Memekek must be powered by something, and as such, the protocol takes a 1% fee on each transaction.

So, the maximum you can lose on any position is 12%; however, upside potential is unlimited.

Here’s what it looks like in practice, when juxtaposed against the current state of memecoins:

Points (secret menu)

By participating in Memekek, you also have the opportunity to earn points - yes, you heard that correctly. The cultural zeitgeist of points is no stranger to us.

fyi we’ve introduced some anti-sybil mechanisms to prevent the point farmers from hoarding all of the points, so you’ll need to connect an account or two to start questing.
