MemeCore introduces Meme 2.0 — a new paradigm that transforms the criticism that “meme coins have no real value” into fuel for a sustainable cultural and financial revolution. We’re here to make sure meme coins don’t fade as a fleeting trend, but rise as lasting forces of value.

Meme 2.0: the Beginning of Viral Economy

MemeCore builds an economy where meme coins generate real, measurable value — not just through trading, but through the everyday actions of the community.

By rewarding three key activities — content creation, social engagement, and on-chain transactions — Meme 2.0 connects culture with crypto in a way that drives both attention and sustained growth.

This is how fleeting trends become lasting ecosystems — by turning participation into value, and value into rewards.

Why is Meme 2.0 Necessary?

• The current meme coin market is built to collapse. It’s optimized for short-term speculation — where users chase price spikes, play momentum games, and exit before the hype fades. As a result, 99% of meme coins vanish without leaving lasting value behind.

• The culture drives the value — but never gets paid. Meme coins rely on users to make memes go viral, keep the hype alive, and build community momentum. Yet those cultural contributors — not the issuers — are left unrewarded. Meme 2.0 flips the script, channeling value back to the people who actually make meme coins matter.

• Price is the only success metric — and that’s broken. Meme coins rise and fall based on price action alone, not on community strength, cultural relevance, or long-term participation. Meme 2.0 rewrites this playbook.

What Meme 2.0 Unlocks

• A new cultural asset class: Meme 2.0 reframes meme coins as more than speculative tools — positioning them as vehicles for community ownership, creative expression, and viral cultural capital.

• Sustainability over speculation: Instead of being trapped in a pump-and-dump cycle, MemeCore supports a meme-native economy where growth is reinforced by ongoing participation and contribution.

• Tokenomics that reward cultural momentum: Meme 2.0 captures the real drivers of meme coin value — not just speculation, but meme creation, remixing, and viral spread — and integrates them into the reward system.

what is PoM?

Proof of Meme (PoM) is the core mechanism behind Meme 2.0 paradigm. It defines a structured, on-chain system that guides meme coin projects beyond speculation — toward long-term cultural relevance and economic contribution.

Unlike traditional consensus models or single reward systems, PoM is an evolution framework built around the full lifecycle of a meme coin.

From vault creation to community participation, contribution evaluation, reward distribution, and governance — PoM turns meme projects into active, value-generating members of the MemeCore mainnet.

How PoM Works

1. Meme Vault

   • When an MRC-20 token is issued on MemeCore, a dedicated Meme Vault is automatically created for the project.

   • The vault is a smart contract based hub designed to track community activity and distribute rewards to PoM participants — including validators, stakers, and traders.

   • It serves as the central infrastructure for measuring engagement and fairly allocating on-chain rewards.

A Meme Vault is an on-chain reward pool created for each meme project in the MemeCore ecosystem. It’s built as a smart contract and is used to distribute rewards to contributors who help grow the project.

More Than Just a Token Pool

Meme Vaults aren’t just places to hold tokens — they are core to Meme 2.0. They reward community activities and keep the meme ecosystem alive through a positive feedback loop of participation and rewards.

There are five contributors in the PoM system, and these are categorized by their roles:

🧑‍💼 Trader

A trader who expects that under the MemeCore mainnet, more meme coins will experience sustainable growth compared to the traditional speculative meme coin market. While they can still profit through regular trading, simply holding meme coins can also be seen as a valuable contribution and rewarded accordingly by the project.

💰 Staker (Delegator)

Refers to general users who support the MemeCore network. Through delegation, they contribute indirectly to the security and stability of the network. Stakers are offered various options such as staking $M or meme coins (MRC-20), and can earn attractive yields.

🎨 Creator

Responsible for the secondary creation and dissemination of memes, which is key to the sustainability of meme coins. Creators spread their shilled memes on platforms like X, TikTok, and Instagram, creating viral value and receiving rewards from the Meme Vault.

🛡️ Validator

Composed of blockchain validators who maintain network security and reliability through block creation, verification, and finalization. They are the core of the blockchain, validating legitimate transactions and recording them on-chain.

🚀 Meme Project

Issues meme coins and creates associated Meme Vaults. Can apply for Viral Grants and distribute rewards to contributors who help activate the project and grow its reach.

MemeCore is a creative studio with its own blockchain, turning internet virality into lasting cultural value.

MemeCore Mainnet: the Engine of Meme 2.0

MemeCore is the first Layer 1 blockchain specially built for Meme 2.0 — a new paradigm where meme coins evolve from short-term speculation into long-term cultural and economic forces, powered by community-driven virality.

Most meme coins are born from speculation and die by it. MemeCore is building a new foundation — an ecosystem where longevity, creativity, and shared prosperity define the next generation of meme coins.

| Reward distribution & Block Proposer Selection Method

1. $M Validators & Delegators

• Base Rewards: Receive 75% of the total block rewards.

• $M Validators: Stake a fixed amount of $M (7 millions $M) as register amount.

• Reward Distribution: Rewards are distributed based on the ratio of $M held by $M Delegators and $M Validators.

• Commission: $M Delegators pay a 10% commission of their rewards to the Validators.

2. Meme Delegators

• Base Rewards: Receive 24% of the total block rewards.

• Equal Distribution: Rewards allocated to each node are distributed equally.

• Node Calculation: Rewards are calculated per node.

• Market Cap Ratio: The reward ratio of each meme coin is set close to its market cap ratio.

3. Additional Rewards

Receive 1% of the total block rewards. Validator set(Validator, Delegator, Meme Delegator) receive additional rewards if the validator they support is selected as the block proposer. - Additional Reward Ratio: Reward Ratio calculation is same with base Reward distribution

4. Others

This number of this lists can be adjusted:

• Base Rewards between $M Validators&Delegators and Meme Delegators

• Required staking $M for Validator

• Commission ratio for $M Delegator & Meme Delegator

• The whitelist of MEME used in the delegating.

| Block Proposer Selection Algorithm

1. Block Generation Cycle

• In each block generation cycle, a block proposer is selected from the pool of $M Validators.

2. Selection Method

$M Validator Pool:

• Randomly select one from the $M Validator pool.

• Adjust the probability based on:

  • Past performance.

  • Age: participation time after proposer.

3. Reward Structure and Incentives

• The selected block proposer proposes a block and receives the corresponding rewards.

• Delegators supporting the selected block proposer receive additional rewards to encourage participation.

  • Additional Rewards: Delegators receive an additional 1% of base rewards if the validator they support is selected as the block proposer.

Overview

$M is the native token of the MemeCore blockchain, serving as the foundational asset for gas, staking, ecosystem rewards, and the broader Proof of Meme (PoM) mechanism. Designed specifically for the Meme 2.0 paradigm, $M powers a blockchain infrastructure optimized for the sustainable growth of memecoins and the viral economy.

Core Roles of $M

$M is not just a utility token — it anchors value and trust across all layers of the MemeCore ecosystem. Its roles are clearly divided across the following functions: 1. Transaction Fees

$Mis used to pay for transactions on the MemeCore network (including vault creation, meme minting, PoM submissions, and staking). A portion of the gas fees may be burned, contributing to long-term deflationary pressure on the token supply.()

Gas fees collected through network activity are partially recycled into PoM reward pools, supporting active contributors.

2. Staking & Validator Participation

$M is used to stake and secure the network via validator delegation. validators must stake $M to be eligible to participate in block production. The more $M staked, the higher the chance of becoming a block proposer within a given epoch. delegators may assign their stake to validators and earn a share of validator rewards, fostering decentralized participation.

The MemeCore network can be added to any EVM-compatible wallet service. The following list are some of the wallet available in the market:

The Viral Grants Reserve is a redistribution fund built into MemeCore’s PoM (Proof of Meme) system. Every epoch, 10% of all PoM rewards are added to this reserve. These funds are distributed as grants to Meme Vaults that meet certain on-chain criteria.

Goal

To support meme projects that show real growth potential and help their communities stay strong and self-sustaining

Why It’s Needed

The traditional meme coin market has serious problems.

• Projects pump fast, then fade just as quickly

• No long-term support system for communities

• Most coins disappear after a short price spike

How It Works

• 10% of PoM rewards go into the Viral Grant Reserve

• Meme Vaults that meet specific criteria — like active community, TVL, and trading volume — can receive grants

• MemeCore evaluates each project’s sustainability and community impact to decide if it qualifies

• If a project passes the Meme 2.0 baseline, it gets a grant sent directly to its Vault

Once a project receives a grant, it can move forward to the next step — PoM inclusion.

More details on that are in the next section.

In the PoM ecosystem built on the Meme 2.0 mechanism, each MRC-20 meme coin follows a structured path to become fully integrated into the Proof of Meme system. This journey is designed to support long-term growth and reward cycles for sustainable meme projects.

Step-by-Step Evolution 1. MemeCoin Generation

A MemeCoin is launched on MemeCore. At the same time, a Meme Vault is automatically created.

This vault becomes the foundation for building the project’s community and tracking contributions.

2. MemeCoin & Community Growth

The project gains momentum — trading volume increases, the community grows, and viral content spreads across platforms.

3. Completion of Meme 2.0 Grants Criterion

Once the project meets the Meme 2.0 Grants standards, it receives a Grant from the Viral Grants Reserve directly to its Vault.

4. Completion of Meme 2.0 PoM Criterion

As the project continues to grow and meet higher on-chain and community benchmarks, it becomes eligible for full PoM integration.

5. Integrated on Proof of Meme

The meme coin is officially recognized as part of the PoM system — gaining access to deeper network utility, visibility, and long-term reward alignment.

Staking & Delegation in Proof of Meme

Once a meme coin is integrated into the Proof of Meme (PoM) system, it unlocks a new utility:

Staking with delegation rights. Here’s how it works:

• Holders of PoM-approved meme coins can stake their tokens and delegate to a validator.

• In return, they earn a share of that validator’s block rewards.

• The more meme holders delegate, the more block power the validator gains — boosting their influence in the network.

Dynamic Integration: Not Permanent

PoM integration is not guaranteed forever.

If a meme coin no longer meets the PoM criteria, it can be removed from the system.

This keeps the ecosystem active and aligned with performance and contribution standards.

How to Create an MRC-20 Meme Token

MRC-20 tokens are tokens issued on the MemeCore mainnet, built on the Meme 2.0 mechanism.

This guide explains how to create an MRC-20 token within the MemeCore ecosystem.

MemeX

MemeX is a SocialFi and token launchpad platform.

Users can easily create MRC-20 tokens for free through social login on MemeX.

Here’s how to launch your own MRC-20 token using MemeX:

Step 1 — Visit the MemeX Website

Go to: to access the MemeX platform.

Step 2 — Sign Up on MemeX

Click “Sign in with Google” to complete your social sign-up.

Step 3 — Set Up Your Details

Customize the following:

• Profile Image

• Username (permanent)

• Token Symbol (permanent)

• Display Name

⚠️ Note: Username and Token Symbol cannot be changed after setup.

Once done, click NEXT to proceed.

Step 4 — Launch Your MemeCoin

Your MRC-20 meme token is now live, generated based on the ticker you just set.

MemeCore Chain also has an additional built-in reward contract to distribute non-$M rewards to validators and delegators.

| Validator Election

Validators are divided into 2 different roles:

• Active Validators: These are the top 7 validators at any given time, selected based on their ranking. They have the ability to produce blocks and earn block rewards. The number 7 is set as the validatorCount in the contract, but this can be modified by the governance system in the future.

• Candidate Validators: These are the validators ranked below the top 7. They are not eligible to produce blocks or earn block rewards, but they can still receive delegations to improve their ranking for the next round of selection.

Rankings are updated every 10 blocks, determined by the total amount of tokens staked by delegators.

| System Contract

• System Reward Contract: Delegators can stake $M and meme coins through this contract to help validators achieve a top 7 ranking. It acts as a vault, gathering rewards from each block and distributing them to delegators according to system rules.

• Additional Reward Contract: This contract allows external project teams to store ERC-20 rewards, which are then distributed to delegators using the same formulas as the system rewards.

There are several built-in contracts (i.e., system contracts) to support staking operations, allowing delegators to stake $M and meme coins.

• Validator Set Contract: Responsible for electing validators periodically, this contract also holds validator rewards temporarily.

| Reward Distribution

The 7 active validators equally share 99% of the rewards, with the validator that produces the block receiving an extra 1%. Of the rewards received by validators, 25% is allocated to delegators who staked meme coins, and 75% to those who staked $M Token. The remaining 1% reward is a bonus for the current block-producing validator and their respective delegators.

| Validator Operations

Register Validator

To ensure the security of the network, becoming a validator on the MemeCore Chain requires a minimum self-delegation of $M. $M holders can initiate a RegisterValidator transaction with the Validator Set contract to become a validator.

Reward Collection

When delegators claim their received rewards, a certain percentage is deducted as a fee for the validator. Validators can withdraw these fee rewards.

| Delegator Operations

Delegators are holders of $M or Meme coins who stake their tokens with a validator to share in the rewards. They have the flexibility to choose any active or candidate validator, switch between them, undelegate their tokens, and claim rewards at any time. In exchange, they receive an Xtoken (X$M or Xmemecoin) as proof of their delegation, which can be used within the Memecore ecosystem.

After adding our network to your wallet, it’s time to receive test tokens for sending tokens and deploying smart contracts.

| Overview

MemeCore Chain operates with a network of validators using a Proof of Meme (PoM) consensus mechanism, designed to enable short block times and reduced transaction fees. Validators with the highest staked amounts have the chance to produce blocks. Security, stability, and finality are maintained through slashing mechanisms like double-sign detection.

The chain uses a real-time election process to select the top 7 active validators for block production, based on staking rankings. This validator list is refreshed every 10 blocks, or approximately every 70 seconds. To qualify as a candidate for election, validators must first stake a set amount of assets into the system contract.

| Consensus Architecture (PoM)

Epoch

Epochs are the concept are introduced in addition to Ethereum's PoS.

The Epoch is a parameter written in the configure file in the Geth code, and can be modified when necessary. The initial setting of Epoch could be one day.

During the Epoch, the selected validators produce blocks with a PoA consensus algorithm, which is similar to Clique. After the end of each epoch, a new set of validators will be selected from the governance delegation contract.

Consensus time

The new designed consensus can decrease block time and therefore increase their transaction throughput. The current network's block time is 7 seconds.

Reward generation

The $M token, which is native to our ecosystem, is minted with each block by the core Geth code and allocated to the reward contract. The number of tokens vested as rewards is subject to future modification through a hard fork, contingent upon community consensus.

Slashing (TBA)

We've implemented a slashing mechanism tasked with overseeing network performance metrics, including block generation counts, node downtime, and various other critical parameters. The designated Monitor Role is responsible for relaying this performance data to the slashing contract. Should the performance fall short of the established criteria, the slashing contract is programmed to execute the Slash function within the Validator Candidate Contract.

This punitive process unfolds in two distinct phases: Firstly, a deduction is imposed on the $M tokens staked during registration, serving as a direct financial penalty. Secondly, the penalized validator node is excluded from participation in the ensuing validation round. This exclusion inherently leads to a reduction in the $M rewards that the validator would have accrued.

| Contract structure

Validators Registration

• Any EOA address can register as a validator candidate by calling the register() function and staking a fixed amount of $M.

• Only EOAs (not contract addresses) that haven't previously registered can use the registration function. A registrationFee baseAmount must be included in the transaction, and this fee can later be adjusted by the governance contract.

• The validator list has a maximum limit, initially set to 100 validators.

Delegation

$M Delegation

Both EOA and contract addresses can stake $M on the Validator Delegating Contract by calling the stakeM method and specifying the staked amount in the transaction.

Meme Delegation

EOA and contract addresses can stake Meme tokens by invoking the stakeMeme method, but they must first approve the transaction. The Meme tokens eligible for delegation are listed in the MemeWhiteList, which can be extended via the Governance contract.

GetCandidates

The Validator Delegating Contract provides the getFirstFewValidators method to query the validator set. In Phase I, the ranking is determined by a fixed formula. In Phase II, this formula will integrate native oracle prices to adjust rankings.

Reward

The reward distribution contract manages how rewards are divided among validators and delegators. Each M block reward is split: one part goes to the producer and is shared equally among active validators, while the other part is distributed to delegators based on a weighted formula. In Phase I, the formula is static, but in Phase II, it will use oracle-based price feeds for dynamic reward distribution. The last portion is given to validators and delegators if their supported validator produces the block.

Claim

To claim $M rewards, users must send a stake(0) or withdraw(0) transaction to the Reward Distribution Contract. The same process applies for ERC-20 tokens. Additional utility functions for claiming rewards can be added to improve front-end interaction.

ERC-20 Vault

The ERC-20 Vault will store 5% of the total supply from each ERC-20 token on MemeCore. Before minting, the ERC-20 token deployer must call the waitlist function in the vault, ensuring the token contract is open source and secure through multisig approval. The vault operates with a vesting algorithm, distributing tokens to users based on their staking in the Validator Delegating Contract, initially over a period of 1,000 days, which can later be changed by governance.
