Pepecoin and the Rise of the Meme-Backed Currency

Memes, Dreams, and Get-Rich-Quick Schemes Introduction It’s hard to have missed epic saga of Pepecoin over the past two months, and along with it, a resurgence of memecoin hype. Indeed, on May 5, Pepecoin broke through the stunning $1B market cap to become a Top 50 cryptocurrency [1]. In many respects, Pepecoin’s rise calls to mind the famously stunning rise of Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, two of the most famous memecoins in history. In fact, Pepecoin itself even pays homage to the long tradition of memecoins it descends from, writing that it will “make memecoins great again” [2]. So what makes a memecoin “great”? And why do they exist (and even thrive) in the crypto ecosystem, in spite of their evident lack of utility? Know Your Memecoins Memecoins have always been a crypto novelty and oddity. Their most characteristic trait is in fact their own self-professed lack of any utility, something they wear around with a semi-sarcastic sense of pride. Even though almost anyone can create a memecoin today just with a few clicks of a button, not all memecoins are created equal. After all, a lot more people hold Dogecoin than say, “HarryPotterObamaSonicInu” (this is an actual real coin on CoinMarketCap) [3]. Indeed, the most successful memecoins never come from humble backgrounds: they are warriors. These are memes that have fought in ferocious battles on the turbulent seas of Internet meme culture, where any cultural sensation or anything that grabs people’s attention, ranging from Elon Musk references (Tweelon), sex jokes (CumRocket), literal poop (PooCoin), GPT-references (PepeGPT) can all be turned into memecoins [4]. In these epic battles, only those memes that have proven their demonstrated approachability, relatability, persistence can survive. For those that do, they are rewarded with boundless glory, with glamour from the crowds, homage from the powerful, and a memecoin that will wear through even the toughest of crypto storms. And amidst all of this, perhaps Pepe does actually stand a chance of surviving, prevailing, and thriving. Pepe the Meme Royalty The Original Pepe meme of “Feels Good Man.” Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepe_the_Frog Pepecoin was born with a silver spoon in its mouth, as the meme of Pepe belongs (along with Doge) to a class of Internet meme royalty. Born in 2008 out of the hand of cartoonist Matt Furie, the green frog with a bulging green eyes was depicted literally urinating (pee-pee-ing) while commenting “feels good man” [5]. And since then, Pepe has taken off in all shapes and forms, including a sad version, a smirk version, and so many more [6]. Since its inception, the Pepe meme and the corresponding image of an ugly frog has had a distinctly counterculture and subversive connotation, in particular when contrasted with the much more sanguine Doge meme. While most usage of Pepe is very benign, this ugly frog also has a distinctly “ugly side.” On 4chan and other more fringe social media platforms, the frog meme is often twisted and modified to take darker turns and sometimes embody extremist political symbols. And gradually, variants of the Pepe family of memes became staples on alt-right groups and other darker, more subversive corners of the Internet [7]. Thus, the Pepe meme exists in a massive duality: on the one hand, it exists in the mainstream as a benign counterculture image of an ugly frog with a happy or sad or smirky expression on its face. On the other, this counterculture symbol has been coopted for extremist political movements that actively cause societal instability. This duality is what has made Pepecoin so controversial, and why it landed Coinbase in hot water after Coinbase accused the Pepe meme of being “co-opted as an alt-right hate symbol,” before later being forced to apologize and acknowledge that most mainstream uses of Pepe are non-bigoted [8]. But in the context of memecoins, they thrive on controversy and continued media attention. After all, it is precisely Pepe’s status as a longstanding meme royalty and one of the undisputed hallmarks of Internet meme culture that underwrites the value proposition for Pepecoin, and explains its eye-watering ascent to a $1 billion market cap, with a $1.87 billion trading volume at its peak. Pepecoin Price, CoinMarketCap. Data as of May 24: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/pepe/ In this respect of leveraging its power as an undisputed Internet meme royalty to underwrite its value as a cryptocurrency, Pepecoin greatly resembles Dogecoin. And one could argue that there is a kernel of truth in the Pepecoin slogan of “make memecoins great again” and its self-proclamation of being fueled solely by “pure memetic power.” After all, as Pepe is such an important meme royalty, it is certainly conceivable that Pepecoin could stick around for quite some time, just like Dogecoin [9]. Pumps, Dumps, and the Power of FOMO Memecoins such as Dogecoin and Pepecoin, along with their self-processed lack of any utility, are of course ripe targets for pump and dump schemes and regulations. And in many cases, “shilling shitcoins” is a favorite pastime for the rich. One need to look no further to see how Elon Musk has been instrumental in shaping the fortunes of Dogecoin to see the influence of how key opinion leaders can send prices soaring to the moon [10]. After simply Tweeting “Doge” and writing that “Dogecoin is the people’s crypto”, Dogecoin prices soared 40%, and in the massive bull run of 2021, Dogecoin did a phenomenal 147.6x price increase in just over five months. Elon Musk calling Dogecoin “the people’s crypto”. Source. Arguably, this ability to be pump and dumped at will by key opinion leaders is in-baked into the economic logic of memecoins. As mentioned before, memecoins monetize and gain according to how much attention and cultural capital the underlying meme (or cultural phenomenon) is able to accrue and sustain over a long period of time. Key opinion leaders such as Musk have by definition the power to single-handedly create and sustain cultural phenomenon, and thereby allow these cultural derivatives (i.e. memecoins) to gain immensely in value, and in turn, kickstart a cycle of fear-of-missing-out (FOMO) for retail investors, who want to hop aboard the get-rich-quick crypto ride. This same logic that applies to Pepecoin’s rapid ascent over the past month or so. Although there isn’t a clear single celebrity pushing Pepecoin on Twitter (as in the case of Musk and Dogecoin), from on-chain data it seems as if there have been some outsized winners with the Pepecoin hype. For example, a wallet labelled blackrock3.eth bought $244 worth of Pepecoin on April 21, and sold all of them on May 5 at its peak for $2.63 million [11]. And of course, with a pump inevitably comes a dump. Today (May 25th), exactly 20 days from its peak, Pepecoin is down 70% from its all-time-high [12]. As the attention of the memecoin inevitably dissipates and the frenzy of FOMO subsides, the price (a function of this attention) naturally also decreases. But that’s simply the virtue or characteristic of memecoins. For a memecoin, Pepecoin’s -70% can already be considered tame and “benign.” At least Pepecoin hasn’t mimicked the fate of the “Squid Game token,” a memecoin which rode on the wave of the Netflix TV show “Squid Game’s” massive success in 2021. The “Squid Game token” jumped from 1 cent to $2856 in a week, before plummeting to zero after its creators essentially ran away with the money earned and did a classic “rug pull” [13] But this volatility coming from memecoins, who self-profess that their only value comes from their memetic power, one really shouldn’t be surprised — after all, they literally say “useless” on the label. From the Pepecoin Website Memechains and the Question of Utility But what does the future of memecoins look like? Will they ever only really be objects of pure speculative bubbles? The answer actually is a bit more complicated than a simple yes or no. Memecoins by design are backed up by the potency of their underlying meme. The problem is that you can never really quantitatively measure the economic value of a meme. These, after all, are simply free JPEGs widely accessible and distributed on the Internet, and as such, obviously generate no monetary value. After all, why pay for a meme I can see, copy, and create for free? But just because a meme does not have a price tag on it does not mean that it lacks intrinsic value. If Pepe the meme did not have any value, why would people continue to use it to this day, as a symbol for resistance, counterculture, and digital identity? This is the paradox at the center of all art, but particularly digital mementos that can be freely copy-pasted: no one doubts that they are valuable, yet there is no way to measure that value. Memecoins, to some extent, may in fact be one way out of this problem. If a meme is a some “unquantifiable value,” a memecoin is in essence a “quantifiable un-value.” The two therefore fit together hand-in-glove, and attaches some quantifiable representation to the value of the meme behind the coin. Therefore, even if much of the memecoin mania is fuelled by speculation, I don’t expect the memecoins of mainstream memes such as Pepe and Doge to ever go to zero, so long as the memes themselves still exist. Nevertheless, there has been a frenzy in memecoin communities to add on so-called “utility” to these originally supposedly “useless” coins. This notably includes the Dogecoin community’s Dogechain, a smart-contract executing PoS built using Polygon Edge where gas fees can be paid in Dogecoin [14], as well as the Shiba Inu community’s Shibarium, a L2 scaling solution that recently just announced its public beta [15]. Most of these “added utility functions” are centered around the classic playbook of getting a chain in order to nominally “have utility.” But the crypto industry is already strewn with the corpses of failed chains, and today there are already too many L1 and L2 chains that are able to match and surpass the proposed functionality of something like Dogechain and Shibarium. The central problem of building a chain to inject so-called “utility” into these tokens is this: why should I use Shibarium and Dogechain to execute smart contracts, over say Arbitrum, Optimism, or Polygon? Any satisfactory answer to these questions must go back to where memecoins started from in the first place — the original meme underwriting the whole memecoin, such as Doge in the case of Dogecoin, or Pepe in the case of Pepecoin. In fact, if any of these memecoin powered memechains do succeed, they likely will be some sort of a meme-focused chain, where the design of the chain leverages and magnifies the iconographic power of the meme, which in turn adds value to the memechain. Viewed through this lens, one could argue that a memechain’s long-run potential is in becoming a special sort of appchain, one that specializes in operating the underlying meme. In the long-run, the successful operation of a memechain would likely be more similar to the operation of a successful NFT community, such as BAYC, Azuki, Nouns or Doodles, rather than the operation of an actual L1 or L2 chain like Ethereum, Arbitrum or Polygon. The focus needs to be on the underlying asset backing the memecoin in the first place — the meme — rather than the functionality of the chain itself. This convergence and triangulation between memes, coins, and tech is arguably the most innovative and inspiring aspect of memecoins. If Pepecoin, Dogechain, and Shibarium are able to innovate out a novel governance structure that perpetuates the longevity of the underlying meme, they will undoubtedly leave a significant mark on the cultural legacy of web3. And then, perhaps, we will truly be able to “make memes great again.” Pepecoin making memes great again. Source.

The “Squid Game token” jumped from 1 cent to $2856 in a week, before plummeting to zero after its creators essentially ran away with the money earned and did a classic “rug pull” [13] But this volatility coming from memecoins, who self-profess that their only value comes from their memetic power, one really shouldn’t be surprised — after all, they literally say “useless” on the label. From the Pepecoin Website Memechains and the Question of Utility But what does the future of memecoins look like? Will they ever only really be objects of pure speculative bubbles? The answer actually is a bit more complicated than a simple yes or no. Memecoins by design are backed up by the potency of their underlying meme. The problem is that you can never really quantitatively measure the economic value of a meme. These, after all, are simply free JPEGs widely accessible and distributed on the Internet, and as such, obviously generate no monetary value. After all, why pay for a meme I can see, copy, and create for free? But just because a meme does not have a price tag on it does not mean that it lacks intrinsic value. If Pepe the meme did not have any value, why would people continue to use it to this day, as a symbol for resistance, counterculture, and digital identity? This is the paradox at the center of all art, but particularly digital mementos that can be freely copy-pasted: no one doubts that they are valuable, yet there is no way to measure that value. Memecoins, to some extent, may in fact be one way out of this problem. If a meme is a some “unquantifiable value,” a memecoin is in essence a “quantifiable un-value.” The two therefore fit together hand-in-glove, and attaches some quantifiable representation to the value of the meme behind the coin. Therefore, even if much of the memecoin mania is fuelled by speculation, I don’t expect the memecoins of mainstream memes such as Pepe and Doge to ever go to zero, so long as the memes themselves still exist. Nevertheless, there has been a frenzy in memecoin communities to add on so-called “utility” to these originally supposedly “useless” coins. This notably includes the Dogecoin community’s Dogechain, a smart-contract executing PoS built using Polygon Edge where gas fees can be paid in Dogecoin [14], as well as the Shiba Inu community’s Shibarium, a L2 scaling solution that recently just announced its public beta [15]. Most of these “added utility functions” are centered around the classic playbook of getting a chain in order to nominally “have utility.” But the crypto industry is already strewn with the corpses of failed chains, and today there are already too many L1 and L2 chains that are able to match and surpass the proposed functionality of something like Dogechain and Shibarium. The central problem of building a chain to inject so-called “utility” into these tokens is this: why should I use Shibarium and Dogechain to execute smart contracts, over say Arbitrum, Optimism, or Polygon? Any satisfactory answer to these questions must go back to where memecoins started from in the first place — the original meme underwriting the whole memecoin, such as Doge in the case of Dogecoin, or Pepe in the case of Pepecoin. In fact, if any of these memecoin powered memechains do succeed, they likely will be some sort of a meme-focused chain, where the design of the chain leverages and magnifies the iconographic power of the meme, which in turn adds value to the memechain. Viewed through this lens, one could argue that a memechain’s long-run potential is in becoming a special sort of appchain, one that specializes in operating the underlying meme. In the long-run, the successful operation of a memechain would likely be more similar to the operation of a successful NFT community, such as BAYC, Azuki, Nouns or Doodles, rather than the operation of an actual L1 or L2 chain like Ethereum, Arbitrum or Polygon. The focus needs to be on the underlying asset backing the memecoin in the first place — the meme — rather than the functionality of the chain itself. This convergence and triangulation between memes, coins, and tech is arguably the most innovative and inspiring aspect of memecoins. If Pepecoin, Dogechain, and Shibarium are able to innovate out a novel governance structure that perpetuates the longevity of the underlying meme, they will undoubtedly leave a significant mark on the cultural legacy of web3. And then, perhaps, we will truly be able to “make memes great again.” Pepecoin making memes great again. Source.

Pepecoin and the Rise of the Meme-Backed Currency

Memes, Dreams, and Get-Rich-Quick Schemes Introduction It’s hard to have missed epic saga of Pepecoin over the past two months, and along with it, a resurgence of memecoin hype. Indeed, on May 5, Pepecoin broke through the stunning $1B market cap to become a Top 50 cryptocurrency [1]. In many respects, Pepecoin’s rise calls to mind the famously stunning rise of Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, two of the most famous memecoins in history. In fact, Pepecoin itself even pays homage to the long tradition of memecoins it descends from, writing that it will “make memecoins great again” [2]. So what makes a memecoin “great”? And why do they exist (and even thrive) in the crypto ecosystem, in spite of their evident lack of utility? Know Your Memecoins Memecoins have always been a crypto novelty and oddity. Their most characteristic trait is in fact their own self-professed lack of any utility, something they wear around with a semi-sarcastic sense of pride. Even though almost anyone can create a memecoin today just with a few clicks of a button, not all memecoins are created equal. After all, a lot more people hold Dogecoin than say, “HarryPotterObamaSonicInu” (this is an actual real coin on CoinMarketCap) [3]. Indeed, the most successful memecoins never come from humble backgrounds: they are warriors. These are memes that have fought in ferocious battles on the turbulent seas of Internet meme culture, where any cultural sensation or anything that grabs people’s attention, ranging from Elon Musk references (Tweelon), sex jokes (CumRocket), literal poop (PooCoin), GPT-references (PepeGPT) can all be turned into memecoins [4]. In these epic battles, only those memes that have proven their demonstrated approachability, relatability, persistence can survive. For those that do, they are rewarded with boundless glory, with glamour from the crowds, homage from the powerful, and a memecoin that will wear through even the toughest of crypto storms. And amidst all of this, perhaps Pepe does actually stand a chance of surviving, prevailing, and thriving. Pepe the Meme Royalty The Original Pepe meme of “Feels Good Man.” Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepe_the_Frog Pepecoin was born with a silver spoon in its mouth, as the meme of Pepe belongs (along with Doge) to a class of Internet meme royalty. Born in 2008 out of the hand of cartoonist Matt Furie, the green frog with a bulging green eyes was depicted literally urinating (pee-pee-ing) while commenting “feels good man” [5]. And since then, Pepe has taken off in all shapes and forms, including a sad version, a smirk version, and so many more [6]. Since its inception, the Pepe meme and the corresponding image of an ugly frog has had a distinctly counterculture and subversive connotation, in particular when contrasted with the much more sanguine Doge meme. While most usage of Pepe is very benign, this ugly frog also has a distinctly “ugly side.” On 4chan and other more fringe social media platforms, the frog meme is often twisted and modified to take darker turns and sometimes embody extremist political symbols. And gradually, variants of the Pepe family of memes became staples on alt-right groups and other darker, more subversive corners of the Internet [7]. Thus, the Pepe meme exists in a massive duality: on the one hand, it exists in the mainstream as a benign counterculture image of an ugly frog with a happy or sad or smirky expression on its face. On the other, this counterculture symbol has been coopted for extremist political movements that actively cause societal instability. This duality is what has made Pepecoin so controversial, and why it landed Coinbase in hot water after Coinbase accused the Pepe meme of being “co-opted as an alt-right hate symbol,” before later being forced to apologize and acknowledge that most mainstream uses of Pepe are non-bigoted [8]. But in the context of memecoins, they thrive on controversy and continued media attention. After all, it is precisely Pepe’s status as a longstanding meme royalty and one of the undisputed hallmarks of Internet meme culture that underwrites the value proposition for Pepecoin, and explains its eye-watering ascent to a $1 billion market cap, with a $1.87 billion trading volume at its peak. Pepecoin Price, CoinMarketCap. Data as of May 24: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/pepe/ In this respect of leveraging its power as an undisputed Internet meme royalty to underwrite its value as a cryptocurrency, Pepecoin greatly resembles Dogecoin. And one could argue that there is a kernel of truth in the Pepecoin slogan of “make memecoins great again” and its self-proclamation of being fueled solely by “pure memetic power.” After all, as Pepe is such an important meme royalty, it is certainly conceivable that Pepecoin could stick around for quite some time, just like Dogecoin [9]. Pumps, Dumps, and the Power of FOMO Memecoins such as Dogecoin and Pepecoin, along with their self-processed lack of any utility, are of course ripe targets for pump and dump schemes and regulations. And in many cases, “shilling shitcoins” is a favorite pastime for the rich. One need to look no further to see how Elon Musk has been instrumental in shaping the fortunes of Dogecoin to see the influence of how key opinion leaders can send prices soaring to the moon [10]. After simply Tweeting “Doge” and writing that “Dogecoin is the people’s crypto”, Dogecoin prices soared 40%, and in the massive bull run of 2021, Dogecoin did a phenomenal 147.6x price increase in just over five months. Elon Musk calling Dogecoin “the people’s crypto”. Source. Arguably, this ability to be pump and dumped at will by key opinion leaders is in-baked into the economic logic of memecoins. As mentioned before, memecoins monetize and gain according to how much attention and cultural capital the underlying meme (or cultural phenomenon) is able to accrue and sustain over a long period of time. Key opinion leaders such as Musk have by definition the power to single-handedly create and sustain cultural phenomenon, and thereby allow these cultural derivatives (i.e. memecoins) to gain immensely in value, and in turn, kickstart a cycle of fear-of-missing-out (FOMO) for retail investors, who want to hop aboard the get-rich-quick crypto ride. This same logic that applies to Pepecoin’s rapid ascent over the past month or so. Although there isn’t a clear single celebrity pushing Pepecoin on Twitter (as in the case of Musk and Dogecoin), from on-chain data it seems as if there have been some outsized winners with the Pepecoin hype. For example, a wallet labelled blackrock3.eth bought $244 worth of Pepecoin on April 21, and sold all of them on May 5 at its peak for $2.63 million [11]. And of course, with a pump inevitably comes a dump. Today (May 25th), exactly 20 days from its peak, Pepecoin is down 70% from its all-time-high [12]. As the attention of the memecoin inevitably dissipates and the frenzy of FOMO subsides, the price (a function of this attention) naturally also decreases. But that’s simply the virtue or characteristic of memecoins. For a memecoin, Pepecoin’s -70% can already be considered tame and “benign.” At least Pepecoin hasn’t mimicked the fate of the “Squid Game token,” a memecoin which rode on the wave of the Netflix TV show “Squid Game’s” massive success in 2021. The “Squid Game token” jumped from 1 cent to $2856 in a week, before plummeting to zero after its creators essentially ran away with the money earned and did a classic “rug pull” [13] But this volatility coming from memecoins, who self-profess that their only value comes from their memetic power, one really shouldn’t be surprised — after all, they literally say “useless” on the label.

Bitcoin is skyrocketing, XWORLD is bringing you into this wave of wealth | Complete Web3 Guide for Newbies

Web3, simply put, is the next generation of the internet. It’s a departure from the way we’re used to experiencing the online world. Unlike the traditional model, where central authorities like tech giants or governments have a strong grip on how things work, Web3 is all about decentralization. This means power is spread out across a network of users, making decisions more transparent and resistant to control. Think of it as a shift from a top-down structure to a community-driven one. In the world of Web3, users have more say, ownership, and control over their online interactions. It’s like a digital democracy where everyone has a voice. XWORLD, a Pioneering Web3 Games & Apps Store, was borned based on Web3 concept. In the traditional Web2 world, people get almost no income from downloading games in the Apple App Store and posting content on Facebook, because almost 100% of the marketing expenses of games and applications go to platforms such as Apple and Facebook. However, game application users are what innovative applications should really strive for, and they are also the people to whom marketing expenses should really be given. Based on this concept, XWORLD is the world’s first games & applications store that distributes most of the Internet advertising revenue to users. XWORLD is created for bringing billions of ordinary people in the world into Web3 wave of wealth. This guide is your gateway to understanding this exciting new digital landscape. We’ll break down the core principles of Web3, demystify complex terms like blockchain and dApps, and show you how these concepts are being used in real-world applications. By the time you’re done, you’ll have a solid grasp of what Web3 is all about and (hopefully) get you acclimated to the new era of the internet. Demystifying Web3 Web3 Defined: Often categorized as the decentralized internet, Web3 represents a departure from the centralized platforms (Web2) that currently dominate the digital space. Centralized entities like Google, Facebook, and Amazon have significant control over your data and autonomy in Web2. In contrast, Web3 seeks to decentralize and democratize that control, empowering individual users. Blockchain & Its Significance: The blockchain is the backbone of Web3. It’s essentially a digital ledger where data is stored in ‘blocks’ and is chronologically ‘chained’ together. Every entry is transparent and immutable, which means it’s tamper-proof. The decentralized nature ensures data integrity without relying on a central authority. Tips: As you embark on your Web3 exploration, focus on mastering the foundational concepts. Familiarize yourself with the history of Bitcoin and blockchain, its different types (e.g., public, private, consortium), and its real-world applications. Setting Up Your Digital Wallet The Role of Digital Wallets: Consider your digital wallet as your Web3 passport. It’s where you store digital assets like cryptocurrency, interact with dApps (decentralized applications), and authenticate transactions. Unlike traditional bank accounts, you have full custody of your funds, signifying both power and responsibility. Wallet Varieties: From browser extensions and mobile apps to physical hardware devices, wallets come in various formats. Each has its advantages and is tailored for specific use cases. Tips: Your wallet’s security is paramount. Whether you’re opting for MetaMask (a popular browser extension) or a hardware wallet like Ledger, always ensure you’re obtaining it from a legitimate source. Store your seed phrase (a recovery tool) securely, preferably offline, and guard it as you would your most prized possession. Interacting with dApps, Centralized and Decentralized Exchanges, and Web3 Gaming Platforms What is a dApp? A dApp, or decentralized application, is a software application that runs on a blockchain network. This means that dApps are not controlled by any single entity, but rather by the network of users who participate in it. This makes dApps more transparent and resistant to censorship than traditional applications, which are typically hosted on centralized servers. dApps and Apps on XWORLD How do dApps work? DApps are built on top of blockchain technology, which is a distributed ledger that records transactions in a secure and transparent way. When a user interacts with a dApp, their actions are recorded on the blockchain. This means that all transactions are visible to everyone on the network, which makes it difficult to fraud or censorship. What are some popular types of dApps? There are many different types of dApps, but some of the most popular ones include: Decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms: DeFi platforms allow users to lend, borrow, and trade cryptocurrencies without the need for a traditional financial institution. Non-fungible token (NFT) marketplaces: NFT marketplaces allow users to buy and sell NFTs, which are unique digital assets that can represent anything from art to collectibles. Gaming dApps: Gaming dApps are blockchain-based games that allow users to earn rewards for playing. Why are dApps important? DApps have the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with the internet. By removing the need for centralized control, dApps can make the internet more transparent, secure, and accessible to everyone. Like any new technology, there are some risks associated with dApps. For example, dApps are still in their early stages of development, so there is a risk of bugs and security vulnerabilities. Additionally, dApps can be complex and difficult to use, which can make them inaccessible to some users. Despite these risks, dApps have the potential to be a major force in the future of the internet. As the technology continues to develop, we can expect to see more and more dApps being created and used. Exchanges and Token Trading in the Web3 Ecosystem Digital asset exchanges play a pivotal role in the cryptocurrency and Web3 landscape. These platforms enable users to trade or “swap” their digital assets, either for other tokens or fiat currency. Broadly speaking, exchanges fall under two categories: centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX). Each has its unique set of advantages and disadvantages, primarily revolving around custody, user interface, and functionality. Centralized Exchanges (CEX): Examples: Binance, Coinbase, Kraken Custody: Centralized exchanges act as custodians. When you deposit your digital assets into a CEX, you transfer ownership to the exchange’s wallet. While you hold an IOU or a representation of your assets in your account, the actual assets are in the exchange’s custody. This means you rely on the exchange’s security measures to keep your funds safe. User Interface: CEXs typically offer user-friendly interfaces, making them a popular choice for beginners. These platforms provide a more traditional trading experience, with features like market charts, order books, and advanced trading options. Functionality: Beyond just trading, many CEXs offer additional services like staking, savings, or even educational resources. Liquidity: Due to their centralized nature and large user base, CEXs usually have higher liquidity, making large trades more feasible without significant price slippage. Regulation: Centralized exchanges are more likely to adhere to regulatory guidelines, requiring users to complete Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures, which might deter those seeking privacy. Decentralized Exchanges (DEX): Examples: Uniswap, Sushiswap, PancakeSwap Custody: One of the main advantages of a DEX is the non-custodial nature. You retain ownership of your assets until the trade is executed, using smart contracts. You interact directly from your wallet, without the need to deposit funds on the platform. User Interface: Historically, DEXs have had less intuitive interfaces compared to CEXs. However, this has been changing rapidly, with many DEXs now offering clean, user-friendly experiences. Still, they might feel more technical to newcomers. Functionality: DEXs focus primarily on the swapping of assets. Some have added features like liquidity provision, where users can earn fees by supplying tokens to a liquidity pool. Liquidity: DEXs might have lower liquidity compared to large CEXs, especially for less popular tokens. This can lead to higher slippage. However, liquidity aggregator DEXs are addressing this concern by pooling liquidity from various sources. Anonymity: DEXs typically do not require KYC, attracting users who prioritize privacy. However, transactions on public blockchains are still transparent and can be traced. Example of a DEX Interface Gaming in Web3: Platforms like Decentraland and Axie Infinity have burst onto the scene, transforming traditional gaming paradigms. Not only do they offer a virtual playground, but they also provide an economic incentive for players. This shift is evident in the different models these platforms embrace: Play-to-Earn (P2E): This model, as seen in Axie Infinity, allows players to earn digital assets or tokens by participating in the game. These assets can be traded, sold, or used within the game, and often, they have real-world value. It’s a shift from the old model where players spent money on in-app purchases or cosmetics; now, they can potentially earn from their gameplay. Virtual Real Estate: Platforms like Decentraland allow users to buy, sell, and build upon virtual land. This land has real-world value, and the scarcity of prime locations drives demand. Owners can monetize their virtual real estate by hosting advertisements, creating interactive experiences, or even leasing their land. Staking and DeFi Integration: Some games integrate decentralized finance (DeFi) mechanisms. Players can stake their in-game assets to earn interest or leverage them in various ways, similar to traditional finance but in a decentralized setting. Community Governance: Another hallmark of Web3 games is the power they give to their communities. Token holders often have a say in the direction of the game, from gameplay changes to economic models, allowing for a democratic and decentralized decision-making process. Tips: Always conduct thorough research before interacting with a new dApp, exchange, or gaming platform. Be wary of platforms promising unrealistic returns or those lacking a transparent development team and community feedback. Additional Tips and Insights Security: Web3’s freedom comes with increased responsibility. Phishing attempts are rife. Always double-check website URLs, never share your private key or seed phrase, and utilize two-factor authentication when available. Gas and Transaction Fees: Primarily on the Ethereum network, transactions require a fee called “gas.” This fee can fluctuate based on how busy the network is. Having a grasp of gas fees is essential to avoid excessive payments or insufficient payments, both of which might result in transaction delays. Understanding Networks: Different blockchain platforms (like Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, or Solana) have multiple networks. Ensure you’re on the correct network when executing transactions. Community Engagement: Tapping into Web3 communities can be invaluable. Platforms like Reddit, Discord, or even ‘Crypto’ Twitter have myriad channels dedicated to specific dApps, games, or general Web3 discussions. Closing Thoughts Web3 is not merely a technological evolution; it’s a societal and philosophical shift. It promises a more inclusive, transparent, and decentralized digital future. As with any transformative journey, it requires vigilance, continuous learning, and an open yet discerning mind. As you navigate Web3, prioritize understanding over investment. Take time to learn, experiment with small amounts, and engage with the community.

They aim to handle a larger number of transactions off-chain or in a more efficient manner, reducing congestion and lowering transaction costs. Examples of layer 2 scaling solutions include state channels and sidechains. Permissionless: Permissionless refers to the openness and accessibility of a blockchain network or protocol. In a permissionless network, anyone can participate, validate transactions, and contribute to the network without requiring explicit permission. This characteristic is a fundamental aspect of many blockchain networks, enabling anyone to join and interact with the network without needing approval from a central authority. Hard Fork: A hard fork is a type of upgrade or change to a blockchain protocol that is not backward compatible with older versions. It requires all participants in the network to upgrade to the new version in order to continue participating. Hard forks can result in a split in the blockchain, creating two separate chains with different rules and potentially leading to the creation of a new cryptocurrency. Halving: Halving is an event that occurs in some cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, where the block reward for miners is reduced by half after a certain number of blocks are mined. This event is programmed into the cryptocurrency’s protocol and is designed to control the issuance of new coins and create scarcity over time. Hashing Algorithm: Hashing is a process used in computing to generate a unique and fixed-size string of characters (hash) from input data of any size. In the context of blockchain, hashing is used to create a digital fingerprint of data, such as transactions or blocks, ensuring their integrity and allowing for easy verification. Hashes are used to confirm the completeness and validity of blockchain transactions. Censorship Resistance: Censorship resistance refers to the ability of a system or platform to resist censorship or control by centralized authorities. In Web3, blockchain-based platforms provide censorship resistance by decentralizing control and allowing users to have ownership and control over their data and transactions. This enables freedom of expression and protects against arbitrary censorship or manipulation. Decentralized Exchange (DEX): A decentralized exchange is a type of cryptocurrency exchange that operates on a blockchain network without the need for intermediaries or a central authority. DEXs allow users to trade cryptocurrencies directly with each other, using smart contracts for order matching and execution. They provide increased privacy, security, and control over assets compared to centralized exchanges. Immutable Ledger: An immutable ledger refers to a blockchain’s characteristic of being tamper-resistant and unchangeable once data is added to it. Once a transaction or data is recorded on the blockchain, it becomes part of a permanent and transparent history that cannot be altered or deleted. This property ensures the integrity and trustworthiness of the data stored on the blockchain.

Token Standards: Token standards are specific protocols or sets of rules that define the functionality and behavior of tokens on a blockchain. Examples of token standards include ERC-20 for fungible tokens, ERC-721 for non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and ERC-1155 for multi-token standards. Token standards ensure interoperability and compatibility between different tokens and enable developers to build applications that interact with tokens in a standardized way. Decentralized File Storage: Decentralized file storage refers to the storage of data on a distributed network of nodes, rather than relying on a centralized server or provider. Blockchain-based decentralized file storage systems, such as IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) or Filecoin, allow users to store and retrieve data in a secure, distributed, and censorship-resistant manner. Tokenomics: Tokenomics refers to the economic design and structure of a cryptocurrency or token ecosystem. It encompasses factors such as token supply, distribution, utility, governance mechanisms, and incentives. Tokenomics aims to create a sustainable and balanced ecosystem that aligns the interests of token holders, users, and other stakeholders in the network. Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs): ZKPs are cryptographic protocols that allow one party (the prover) to prove the knowledge of a certain piece of information to another party (the verifier) without revealing the actual information itself. The goal of zero-knowledge proofs is to convince the verifier of the truthfulness of a statement without disclosing any additional information beyond the validity of the statement. Ethereum: Ethereum is an open-source, blockchain-based platform that enables developers to build and deploy decentralized applications (dApps). It was proposed by Vitalik Buterin in late 2013 and development was crowdfunded in 2014. Ethereum’s blockchain is fundamentally different from Bitcoin’s blockchain. While Bitcoin’s blockchain is used to track ownership of digital currency (bitcoins), the Ethereum blockchain focuses on running programming code of any decentralized application Bitcoin: Bitcoin, often described as a cryptocurrency, a virtual currency or a digital currency, is a type of money that is completely virtual. It’s like an online version of cash. You can use it to buy products and services, but not many shops accept Bitcoin yet and some countries have banned it altogether. Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency and remains the most important in the market. It was invented in 2008 by an unknown person or group of people using the name Satoshi Nakamoto. ICO: ICO stands for Initial Coin Offering and it’s often used as a fundraiser for new projects. This is where a company looking to raise money to create a new coin, app, or service launches an ICO as a way to raise funds. People who buy into the ICO receive a certain number of tokens in return. ICOs are often compared to IPOs (Initial Public Offerings), but there are some significant differences Public Key: In the world of cryptocurrencies, a public key represents a point on a particular Elliptic Curve (EC) defined in secp256k1. Public keys contain an identification byte, a 32-byte X coordinate, and a 32-byte Y coordinate. They are used in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for generating addresses where funds can be seen Private Key: In cryptocurrencies, a private key allows a user to gain full access to their wallet. The person who holds the private key fully controls the coins in that wallet. For this reason, it should be kept secret. Formally, a private key for Bitcoin (and many other cryptocurrencies) is a series of 32 bytes Stablecoin: Stablecoins are a type of cryptocurrency designed to minimize volatility, a common issue with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. They achieve this stability by pegging their market value to an external reference, usually a fiat currency like the US dollar, or a commodity like gold. Some stablecoins maintain reserve assets as collateral, while others use algorithmic formulas to control supply. The primary purpose of stablecoins is to provide a more suitable option for common transactions. Altcoin: The term altcoin refers to all cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin and, for some, Ethereum. These alternative cryptocurrencies come in various types, each designed for different purposes. While the future value of altcoins is unpredictable, as long as the blockchain they were designed for continues to be used and developed, the altcoins will continue to exist. It’s important to note that while many altcoins offer potential investment opportunities, some are scams or have lost developer and community interest Mainnet: It refers to the main blockchain network of a cryptocurrency, where real transactions and operations take place. It is the live and production-ready network where actual value is exchanged. Mainnet is typically used for real-world applications, and transactions on the mainnet involve real cryptocurrencies. Testnet: on the other hand, is a separate network specifically designed for testing and development purposes. It mimics the functionalities of the mainnet but uses test tokens or simulated cryptocurrencies that have no real-world value. Testnets allow developers and users to experiment, validate, and debug their applications without risking real funds. It provides a safe environment for testing new features, smart contracts, and conducting simulations before deploying on the mainnet. Testnets are crucial for ensuring the reliability and security of applications before they are deployed to the production-ready mainnet. Remix IDE: is an online development environment for writing, testing, and deploying smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. It provides a user-friendly interface with a built-in code editor, compiler, debugger, and deployment tools. Remix IDE allows developers to write Solidity smart contracts, interact with contracts using a web3 provider, and test their code using various tools and plugins. It is a popular choice for Ethereum developers due to its simplicity and comprehensive features. Infura/Alchemy: It is a popular service that provides infrastructure and API endpoints for connecting to the Ethereum blockchain. It acts as a web3 provider, allowing developers to interact with the Ethereum network without running a full Ethereum node. Infura simplifies the development process by providing reliable and scalable access to the Ethereum blockchain, eliminating the need for developers to set up and maintain their own infrastructure. It offers various API endpoints, including JSON-RPC and WebSocket, which developers can use to send transactions, retrieve data, and interact with smart contracts. Infura is widely used by developers to integrate Ethereum functionality into their applications and services. Mining: Mining is the process of validating and adding new transactions to a blockchain. It involves solving complex mathematical puzzles to find a new block, which contains a set of transactions. Miners compete with each other to solve these puzzles by using computational power, and the first miner to find the solution gets rewarded with newly minted cryptocurrency tokens. Mining ensures the security, integrity, and decentralization of a blockchain network by preventing double-spending and maintaining consensus among participants. Tokenization: Tokenization is the process of representing real-world assets or rights as digital tokens on a blockchain. It allows for fractional ownership, increased liquidity, and easier transfer of assets. Tokenization has applications in areas such as real estate, art, and finance. Immutable: Immutable means that something is unchangeable or cannot be altered or tampered with. In the context of blockchain, immutability refers to the property of data stored on the blockchain that cannot be modified once it is added to the chain. This ensures the integrity and trustworthiness of the data. Merkle Tree: A hierarchical data structure that enables efficient verification and integrity checks of large datasets. It uses cryptographic hashing to create a tree structure where each node represents the hash of its child nodes, providing an efficient way to verify the integrity of specific data without needing to examine the entire dataset. Byzantine Fault Tolerance: The ability of a distributed system to reach a consensus even in the presence of malicious or faulty nodes. It ensures system resilience by employing redundancy, replication, and consensus algorithms to tolerate failures and prevent malicious actors from compromising the integrity and reliability of the system.

Unveiling the Crypto Craze: Meme Coins vs. Shit Coins-Understanding the Differences and Identifying Opportunities

Discover the Secrets to Navigating the Wild World of Memecoins and Shitcoins with XWORLD’s Expert Guidance Introduction In the ever-evolving landscape of cryptocurrencies, two terms have gained significant attention: memecoins and shitcoins. While both may sound similar, they represent distinct categories within the crypto market. Understanding the differences between memecoins and shitcoins is crucial for investors seeking to identify real opportunities. In this guide, we will delve into the world of memecoins and shitcoins, explore their characteristics, and discover how XWORLD is helping users navigate this volatile market. What are Memecoins: Riding the Wave of Viral Crypto Success Memecoins are a unique breed of cryptocurrencies that gain popularity through viral memes and internet culture. They often have a humorous or satirical theme, capturing the attention of online communities. Memecoins leverage the power of social media and community engagement to drive their value. These coins have gained traction due to their ability to generate hype and create a sense of belonging among their supporters. One notable example is Dogecoin, which started as a joke but gained immense traction, reaching a market capitalization in the billions.

These memecoins have demonstrated the potential for significant returns, attracting both investors and enthusiasts alike. PEPE’s market capitalization reaching $1.8 billion. Source: CoinGecko Decoding Shitcoins: Differentiating the Gems from the Junk Shitcoins, on the other hand, refer to cryptocurrencies with little to no value or utility. They are often created with the intention of deceiving investors or capitalizing on market trends. Shitcoins lack genuine support and are driven by pump-and-dump schemes, where the creators artificially inflate the price before selling off their holdings, leaving unsuspecting investors with losses. Identifying high-value memecoins and shitcoins requires careful analysis. Factors such as project fundamentals, team credibility, community engagement, and market liquidity play a crucial role in distinguishing the gems from the junk. According to Analytics Insight, memecoins and shitcoins share some similarities, such as their reliance on social media and community-driven value. However, the main difference lies in their underlying purpose and long-term viability. Memecoins often have a dedicated community and a clear use case, while shitcoins lack substance and are primarily driven by speculative trading.
