4-6 monthsTransaction fees on meme NFT sales (e.g., 2.5% commission on each sale) and a percentage of royalty fees collected from brands using the memes for commercial purposes (e.g., 10% of royalties).

The Solution

MemeMarket is a platform where users can buy and sell ownership (NFTs) of original memes. Creators upload their memes, mint them as NFTs, and set a price. Buyers invest in memes they believe will go viral, profiting from subsequent sales or royalties from brand usage.

"While the unit economics of owning a singular meme are…questionable…the potential for virality and the network effects within meme culture are undeniable. We believe MemeMarket is building the infrastructure for the next generation of internet ownership, and we're excited to be a part of it. We envision a future where memes are not just fleeting moments of amusement, but valuable digital assets, propelling a wave of organic and disruptive marketing globally. Why now? The convergence of DeFi, NFT and Gen-Z culture unlocks the potential of MemeMarket."
