Memes are today’s most powerful cultural currency - spreading faster than news, uniting people through humour, and shaping the zeitgeist of online culture.

Like graffiti, memes can be dismissed as noise or embraced as social commentary, satire, and art. Yet their creators often remain invisible - no tag, no signature, no recognition, and no fair reward.

Punkhol Memes (PMs) changes this.

By merging meme creation with NFT mechanics, PMs builds a decentralised marketplace where:

Community judgement defines cultural value.

Rarity emerges organically.

Creators gain recognition and fair rewards

Empower creators: Provide meme-makers with a simple, fun path to monetise creativity.

Gamify culture: Introduce collectible rarity tiers determined by community voting and social metrics.

Build community: Position PMs as the marketplace of cultural moments.

Create value: Ensure creators are rewarded for their creativity, fuelling long-term participation.

Meme submission

Creators submit their simple memes to the platform

Community voting

Creators share their meme on social platforms “Open for Judgement” asking for supporters to click-through and vote “Ye” or “Nae”

Social ranking

If the meme passes judgement, it moves into the “Ranking” phase for a period of 69 hours; during which support determines max-rarity

Tiered minting

Ranking determines max-rarity, but the meme only mints in a designated rarity when supporters put their crypto where their mouth is.

Earnings distribution

Creators earn a share in primary, and secondary sales.

Memes often enter the cultural zeitgeist with their true origins lost. Many claim to be the creator of a trend, but without a certificate of authenticity, it’s all ego and hearsay.

But what if they did?

What if blockchain could prove provenance?

What if ownership could be traced?

What if the true author of a meme was credited and rewarded?

Punkhol Memes provides that social provenance.
