[Meow](https://iq.wiki/wiki/meow)’s poem, “A Love Letter to Wen Bros,” has been transformed into a digital asset, an NFT, then fractionalized into fungible tokens via the Wen New Standard (WNS) on [Jupiter](https://iq.wiki/wiki/jupiter)’s LFG launchpad.[\\[11\\]](#cite-id-imts00w6ku)​[\\[12\\]](#cite-id-h4rfom8r7j)​\n\n![](https://ipfs.everipedia.org/ipfs/QmTawc9KA8q8pgcsoT5eevHJxnEPtcn6xj4RQMnYG998yK)\n\nEligible recipients included active [Jupiter](https://iq.wiki/wiki/jupiter) users, holders of various NFT projects on the platform, and owners of the [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) [Saga](https://iq.wiki/wiki/saga) smartphone, with each qualifying wallet receiving an airdrop of 643,652 WEN tokens.[\\[11\\]](#cite-id-imts00w6ku)​[\\[3\\]](#cite-id-343e4jmtrv7)​\n\n> \"Today is a special day, $WEN will make its entrance into the Solana blockchain - The Wen Foundation\n\nThe WEN token is associated with the \"Wen\" meme in the [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) community and aims to introduce decentralized governance to promote innovation and raise awareness of [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) technologies.[\\[3\\]](#cite-id-343e4jmtrv7)​\n\n![](https://ipfs.everipedia.org/ipfs/QmPU2RzbbZKn1FqmmkFanqWNdxVpbHLGet9qFJyo8mf6Yr)\n\nIn January 2024, the value of WEN declined due to a burn that was ultimately a \"sell the news event\". Two days prior, the WEN team announced that it would be burning 27% of its token supply that went unclaimed during its three-day airdrop. \n\nHowever, traders had already factored in the impact of the supply dropping by over 270 billion tokens, which caused a price decline.[\\[7\\]](#cite-id-o576hekor0d)​\n\n## Technology\n\nWen’s digital currency is based on the concept of the fractional NFT, a type of NFT that’s been broken into smaller pieces. To create Wen, the aforementioned viral poem was first turned into an NFT and then divided into 1 trillion individual pieces. All of these “fractions” were then attached to an individual WEN token. \n\nThe result is a system in which each token represents ownership of a small portion of the NFT’s digital assets.[\\[11\\]](#cite-id-imts00w6ku)​[\\[12\\]](#cite-id-h4rfom8r7j)​[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-hfswpehlaij)​[\\[6\\]](#cite-id-epd3nbmovf6)​\n\nTo create this new crypto design with fungible tokens representing NFT ownership, the Wen team invented a new token standard for NFTs. The Wen New Standard (WNS) is an open-source creation system for NFT projects that can be accessed by all community members. It was designed on the LFG Launchpad built by [Jupiter](https://iq.wiki/wiki/jupiter). \n\nThis token launch network is backed by the popular [Jupiter](https://iq.wiki/wiki/jupiter) swap aggregator and runs on the [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain).

It serves as the [governance token](https://iq.wiki/wiki/governance-tokens) for WEN DAO, allowing token holders to participate in decision-making processes, and is used within the [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) ecosystem for social interactions, [DeFi](https://iq.wiki/wiki/defi) activities, and access to certain community experiences.[\\[3\\]](#cite-id-343e4jmtrv7)​[\\[13\\]](#cite-id-an8rqob6s4)​\n\nCommon WEN use cases include:[\\[10\\]](#cite-id-en5hQfpLMgffPYSU)​[\\[13\\]](#cite-id-an8rqob6s4)​\n\n* Tipping and social rewards within the Wen and broader [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) communities\n* Trading, liquidity provision, and other yield-focused strategies in Solana DeFi protocols\n* Token-gated access to selected NFT drops, community events, and other Wen-related perks\n\n## The WEN Foundation\n\nThe Wen Foundation is a group dedicated to giving back to the [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana) community by supporting the development of public goods and further amplifying the message of [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana)'s possibilities.[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-hfswpehlaij)​ \n\nIt is positioned as a Solana public-goods organization focused on funding and maintaining WNS and related infrastructure, as well as broader ecosystem initiatives, and emerged from the Ovols NFT community as part of the WEN drop.[\\[10\\]](#cite-id-en5hQfpLMgffPYSU)​[\\[13\\]](#cite-id-an8rqob6s4)​\n\nThe Wen Foundation’s first contribution is Wen New Standard (WNS), an open-source NFT standard meant to be expanded by members of the community.
