In 2022, 9GAG, the ultimate destination for fun content, hilarious memes, and quirky news, made its foray into Web3. Kicking off with the release of three NFT collections, 9GAG's ambitions didn't stop there.
9GAG ventured into the Web3 space by creating Memeland and announced an array of other initiatives on the horizon. One of these projects includes the MEME token, which is slated for a 2023 listing and is designed to function as the internal currency of Memeland. Moreover, they're in the process of developing SocialFi platforms such as Holders.com, envisioned as a tool for planning Web3 explorations.

As of now, the NFT collections are the only fully realized projects, providing access to a host of privileges and exclusive opportunities.
MVP: Trophies of Premium Membership
The MVP NFT collection encompasses 420 distinct golden trophies, each averaging a worth of 50 ETH. These treasures, akin to pirate loot, allow their owners to stay ahead of the curve by being privy to the latest innovations and updates in Memeland.
Those possessing MVP become VIP participants within the meme community, enjoying a host of exclusive privileges such as:
- access to a specialized lounge area in Memeland's Discord;
- the opportunity to partake in upcoming NFT airdrops;
- invitations to exclusive offline events.
Additionally, the MVP collection enhances the uniqueness of other NFTs and bolsters the rewards from staking the MEME token.

Potatoz: The Fundamental NFTs
Potatoz is a quirky collection of 9,999 NFT avatars, each taking the form of a unique potato, influenced by various memes and pop culture icons. Since its launch in June 2022, it's made its way into the top 150 collections on OpenSea, with each Potatoz NFT having an average value of 1.6 ETH.
When a user purchases an NFT from this collection, they are staking their claim in the realm of memes. They can stake one or more of their Potatoz without engaging a long-term blocking mechanism. The longer a user keeps their NFT staked, the better their chances of snagging a pass to the weekly gift draw.

Captainz: Ascend to the Pinnacle of Memeland
The Captainz collection is also made up of 9,999 PFP-NFTs, but instead of potato avatars, it features baby pirates that are destined to grow as Memeland evolves. With an average worth of 6.2 ETH, Captainz holders emerge as leading figures within the meme community. The full extent of benefits and utilities these NFTs offer is still under wraps, though some details have begun to emerge.

Owners of the Captainz will receive MEME tokens gratis and will be the first to delve into the forthcoming metaverse, Treasure Islandz. Additionally, they will become part of the DAO with the power to steer the direction of Memeland. Captainz holders will have the opportunity to influence decisions on a range of issues, including the allocation of treasury resources, community guidelines, partnership agreements, and more.
