Memeland

Memeland (sometimes called Memetaverse) is the ecosystem of 9GAG[5]. Memeland has released three collections -  [19], , and [20]. Each serves as a point of entry into the Memeland economy. [1][3]

History

9GAG[5], an internet meme community created the Memeland project in April 2022. 9GAG was founded by Ray Chan[8] in 2008 to “make the world happier”.

Early in 2022, Memeland published details about having the support of high-profile advisors and investors. These included Animoca Brand’s research group[7] Animoca Digital Research, , and VeeFriends’[9] Gary Vee, as well as Y Combinator and First Round Capital. However, Memeland has since removed details of its investors and advisors from the site, so current involvement is unclear. The Tech Lead is Keungz[4], who is an avid ape collector and a creator of a similar project. [6]

Potatoz holders can stake their NFTs and receive tickets for weekly competitions. The prizes include other NFTS, whitelists, and real-world items like an iPhone. The value of these prizes is more than one million dollars before factoring in the cost of the Captainz, which some Potatoz won. [6][13]
