A memecoin is a cryptocurrency or cryptocurrency token that is based on a popular viral joke or cultural reference. Memecoin-based projects rely heavily on social media hype to attract new users/investors. This means that, while some memecoins may have ostensible use cases and sound crypto-economics, these projects can be heavily hyped and rely heavily on the strength of their marketing efforts and community initiatives to drive adoption.
