{"id":"darkfarms","title":"Darkfarms","content":"**Darkfarms** is a pseudonymous digital artist known for meme-based crypto art, particularly works that reinterpret Pepe the Frog. Before creating Book of Meme, they contributed to collaborative projects such as Fake Rares and Notable Pepes and released the SMOWL and Derage NFT collections. In March 2024, Darkfarms launched [Book of Meme (BOME)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/book-of-meme-bome), a [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana)-based experiment combining a [memecoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/memecoins) with decentralized meme storage and meme-creation tools.

Their official website catalogs meme-themed cards linked to Counterparty records, while their Deca profile identifies wallets and collections associated with the artist. Darkfarms has contributed to Fake Rares and Notable Pepes and created the SMOWL and Derage collections.

The project uses [Arweave](https://iq.wiki/wiki/arweave) and [IPFS](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ipfs) as storage systems and proposed [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) inscriptions as an additional form of permanent storage. [\\[16\\]](#cite-id-lo16o0xFpQNEjrXh) \n\nThe project’s stated token supply was 69,000,000,420 BOME. Its original allocation assigned 50% to the presale, 30% to liquidity pools and 20% to a community fund. The 24-hour presale did not have a fixed token price; participants sent SOL to a designated wallet and received BOME in proportion to their contributions. [\\[16\\]](#cite-id-lo16o0xFpQNEjrXh) \n\nBOME reportedly reached a peak [market capitalization](https://iq.wiki/wiki/market-capitalization) of approximately $1.46 billion less than 48 hours after its launch. Its success helped popularize direct-to-wallet memecoin presales on Solana, although observers warned that this model exposed participants to substantial risks because sending funds did not guarantee that tokens would be delivered. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-sywxnirakd)  [\\[22\\]](#cite-id-O5XkqFQVvgIyZHZO) \n\nLater in March 2024, Darkfarms sold a one-of-one Bitcoin Ordinals inscription for 18,888,888 BOME, valued at approximately $275,000 at the time. The sale was followed by BOME-denominated auctions from several other digital artists. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-sywxnirakd) \n\n# Interview\n\nIn an interview with [NFT](https://iq.wiki/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft) Now, DarkFarms shared some insights and reflections on the dizzying saga and how he hopes to channel the memetic energy moving forward.\n\nHe attributed his inspiration for the launch of $BOME to a deep need to immerse himself in the current meta-context, delving into shitcoins, decentralized social applications, and the evolving narrative surrounding [NFTs](https://iq.wiki/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft). He stated that he wanted to create a space where everyone felt welcomed, without it mattering what profile picture they use or which [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) they prefer.\n\nOn whether or not he had anticipated the success of his project. His response was modest and acknowledged the impact and challenges that social platforms had on [BOME](https://iq.wiki/wiki/book-of-meme-bome).\n\n> I must admit that I did not expect the success of the project. Platforms like X and Telegram have proven both rewarding and challenging, as the influx of information is often accompanied by misinformation and links to obvious scams and wallet drains.\n\nSeveral artists followed suit and launched their own tokens in the months that followed and he advised and encouraged them to be innovative, challenge convention and forge new frontiers in the crypto art space.\n\nHe opined that the future of [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) art should be fundamentally based on trust between collectors and artists. Further stating that the technological advancement in blockchain-based art. Should not erode the relationship between artists and art lovers.\n\n> It's not about burning or $BOME prices, it's about building trust between collectors and artists. Web3 has changed a lot of things, with a lot of fast transactions and transactions happening with the help of bots, but I think we might be losing something important - the relationship between people who make art and people who love art. As I said, not as a financial opinion or anything, this move may be dangerous, but it may also be worth taking.[\\[7\\]](#cite-id-pmq04iwmhtm)\n\n# Selected Works and Exhibitions\n\n#### SMOWL\n\nSMOWL is an [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) profile-picture collection created by Darkfarms and launched in April 2022.
