[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-GRObyzjeSQ)​\n\n![](https://ipfs.everipedia.org/ipfs/QmURQnG3nNTMqcsVxAttimqcXTU5ur9jqUgwBd3BNSVnRS)\n\n## Overview\n\nMemeCore is a [Layer-1](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-1) [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) platform founded by [Jun Ahn](https://iq.wiki/wiki/jun-ahn) that focuses on infrastructure for meme-related [digital assets](https://iq.wiki/wiki/digital-assets) and [decentralized applications](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-application). The network was developed to support the creation, distribution, and governance of meme tokens and community-driven projects within [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) ecosystems, with an emphasis on online participation and cultural engagement. Unlike applications built on existing [blockchains](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) such as [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum), MemeCore operates as an independent [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) network designed specifically for projects centered on internet meme culture and digital communities.\n\nThe platform incorporates several systems intended to support participation and ecosystem development. Its consensus and incentive mechanism, known as “Proof of Meme,” links network rewards to activities such as token transactions, [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking), and community engagement. MemeCore also promotes a framework referred to as “Meme 2.0,” which emphasizes sustained community participation and project development within [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) environments. Additional on-chain features, including token vaults and grant reserves, are designed to provide resources for the launch and growth of new meme-related projects and [decentralized applications](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-application) on the network. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-aiOQFBI3cV) [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-mSvSa7WB7N)​\n\n## Features\n\n### Proof of Meme Consensus\n\n![](https://ipfs.everipedia.org/ipfs/QmUWj4PAVHchHsp1FJ4ZVzZ8uQsCbVb3cub2UcP34MNevv)\n\nProof of Meme (PoM) is MemeCore’s custom-built [consensus mechanism](https://iq.wiki/wiki/consensus-mechanism) that merges aspects of [Proof of Stake (PoS)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-stake) and [Proof of Authority (PoA)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-authority), designed to support [validator](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) governance and meme token integration. The system operates through epochs—defined time intervals, such as a day—during which a designated set of [validators](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) produce blocks using a [PoA](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-authority)-style method. After each epoch, the [validator](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) set is refreshed through a governance-controlled delegation contract. This setup allows for consistent block production and validator rotation, aiming to maintain network decentralization and efficiency. [\\[6\\]](#cite-id-C4WB37DYvw)​\n\n#### Reward Generation\n\nBlock rewards are generated by [minting](https://iq.wiki/wiki/minting) MemeCore’s native token, M and pay a registration fee. Initially, the [validator](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) set is capped at 100 participants. Registered [validators](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) can exit the system and reclaim their [stake](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking), although a lock-up period may be introduced later. [\\[6\\]](#cite-id-C4WB37DYvw)​\n\n#### Delegation Methods\n\nDelegation mechanisms allow both EOAs and contract addresses to [stake](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) M may be partially forfeited, and they can be excluded from upcoming validation rounds.\n\nUsers must initiate specific transactions through the reward distribution contract by [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) or withdrawing tokens to access rewards. An [ERC-20](https://iq.wiki/wiki/erc-20) vault holds 5% of each token’s total supply deployed on MemeCore, with token contracts required to be open-source and [multisig](https://iq.wiki/wiki/multi-signature-wallet)-approved before inclusion. These [ERC-20](https://iq.wiki/wiki/erc-20) tokens are gradually released to stakers over a long-term vesting period, initially set to 1,000 days. Governance retains the authority to modify this period. The PoM structure reinforces network security and incentivizes active participation through flexible delegation, performance accountability, and a collaborative governance framework. [\\[6\\]](#cite-id-C4WB37DYvw)​\n\n#### Validator\n\nMemeCore’s [validator](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) network operates under the Proof of Meme (PoM) [consensus](https://iq.wiki/wiki/consensus-mechanism), prioritizing short block times and low [transaction fees](https://iq.wiki/wiki/transaction-fee). [Validators](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) are selected based on the amount of staked assets, with those with the highest stakes eligible to produce blocks. To ensure system integrity, the network incorporates slashing mechanisms, such as penalties for double-signing, to maintain security and stability. A real-time election process selects the top seven [validators](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) for block production, with the list refreshing every 10 blocks, approximately every 70 seconds. Candidates must first stake a predefined amount to qualify for selection.\n\n​[Validators](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) on MemeCore confirm transactions and produce blocks, contributing directly to the network’s performance and security. These [nodes](https://iq.wiki/wiki/node) perform essential tasks that uphold the chain’s reliability. In exchange for their participation, [validators](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) receive $M token rewards.\n\nBoth [validators](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) and their delegators earn dual incentives—M per block) proportionally based on the amount staked. This structure supports an equitable reward system across all participants contributing to the network. [\\[7\\]](#cite-id-omXhMGiW1a)​\n\n#### Staking & Delegating\n\n![](https://ipfs.everipedia.org/ipfs/QmYfgs3xeXEs12drtXusdGwZiBfm5YiVRsyvR8gA2w3RDb)\n\nMemeCore’s [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) and delegation system enables token holders to support [validators](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) and earn rewards. [Validators](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) are ranked based on the total amount staked by delegators, with the top seven becoming active [validators](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) eligible to produce blocks and earn rewards. Others remain as candidate [validators](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) who cannot produce blocks but can still receive delegations to improve their ranking. Rankings refresh every 10 blocks, ensuring a dynamic and competitive selection process.\n\nDelegators can [stake](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) M, and 25% to those who staked [meme coins](https://iq.wiki/wiki/memecoins). [Validators](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) must meet a minimum self-delegation requirement to register, and delegators receive Xtokens as proof of their stake, which can be used within the ecosystem. External projects can also provide [ERC-20](https://iq.wiki/wiki/erc-20) tokens for distribution through a separate reward contract using the same formula. [\\[8\\]](#cite-id-oDLaVY7xiQ)​\n\n#### Dual Rewards\n\nMemeCore’s dual reward system distributes both M [validators](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) and their delegators receive 75%, with distribution based on how much M—to register, while delegators who support them pay a 10% commission on their earned rewards to these [validators](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator). The block proposers' selection and reward sharing are tied to [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) levels and [validator](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) performance.\n\nMeme delegators—those [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) [meme coins](https://iq.wiki/wiki/memecoins) rather than $M—receive 24% of the block rewards. These rewards are equally distributed per [validator](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) [node](https://iq.wiki/wiki/node) and adjusted according to each [meme coin’s](https://iq.wiki/wiki/memecoins) [market cap](https://iq.wiki/wiki/market-capitalization). The system uses weighted quantities to balance price differences between meme tokens. Meme delegators also pay a 15% commission to [validators](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator). An additional 1% of block rewards is awarded to [validators](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) and their delegators if their chosen [validator](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) is selected to produce a block. All reward ratios, [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) requirements, and supported meme tokens are subject to change through governance. [\\[9\\]](#cite-id-gOf39jyfrE)​\n\n### Memes.War\n\nMemes.War is a Telegram-based play-to-[airdrop](https://iq.wiki/wiki/airdrop) game where users support existing guilds or create their own, aiming to accumulate War.Bond to a guild’s Vault, players contribute to that guild’s ability to participate in seasonal Guild Raids and earn additional rewards. War.Bond becomes non-withdrawable and is locked in for raid activities.\n\nAirdrop points are earned by converting War.Bond = 10 Airdrop points), and serve as a central metric in determining eligibility for future [airdrops](https://iq.wiki/wiki/airdrop) and other reward distributions. Players can either support an existing guild or form their own, receiving a 1,000,000 $War.Bond bonus to help kickstart their Vault. Guilds with the highest Vault balances can access special rewards, while all participating guilds receive additional benefits. The game emphasizes community contribution, with rewards designed to recognize individual and group engagement within the MemeCore ecosystem. Telegram is required to access and play Memes.War. [\\[10\\]](#cite-id-WEVT91YPml) [\\[11\\]](#cite-id-aYYZf4sJ1y)​\n\n## M\n\n$M is the native token of the MemeCore ecosystem and plays a central role in its operations. It is used to pay [transaction fees](https://iq.wiki/wiki/transaction-fee) on the MemeCore [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet). It is the primary [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) currency for participating in the Proof of Meme (PoM) [consensus](https://iq.wiki/wiki/consensus-mechanism) for [validator](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) registration and delegation. The token has a total supply capped at 10 billion.\n\nBeyond its technical functions, M to be eligible for block production, while delegators use it to support [validator](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) rankings. Additionally, governance functionality for $M is planned for future implementation, potentially allowing holders to influence the development and direction of the network.
