Well, we can all put that meme to rest because we have good news…
The highly anticipated launch of MEME v2 is now live!
For what has felt like a decade in the world of DeFi and crypto, it’s only been 8 months since Jordan Lyall’s silly-gone-viral “degenerator” tweet. No one could have predicted how a joke on the internet would lead to the birth of such a passionate community that pioneered a revolutionary way to collect digital art via NFT farming.
MEME started out as an experiment and hackathon-style project with just a couple of engineers that were excited about making an impact in our degenerate world of farmers, crypto art, and of course, pineapples. Since its inception, it has evolved into a new standard of innovation in our space where artists, collectors, and their respective communities can come together and participate in a fun way to collect rare digital art.
