Most memecoins follow the same arc: a burst of hype, a price spike, and then silence. Holders are left with a token that has no further reason to exist. $MEMES is built around a different idea: turn ordinary trading activity into an engine that continuously rewards holders with other promising tokens from the pump.fun ecosystem (later, other memecoin ecosystems too, as the community decides). The mechanism starts working from the very first trade.
$MEMES is a token launched on pump.fun (Solana). Every trade on the bonding curve generates a creator fee. Instead of disappearing into a single wallet, that fee is split 50/50: half funds a treasury that buys other pump.fun tokens and redistributes them to $MEMES holders on a weekly basis, and half funds ongoing development of the project.
The result is a flywheel: trading activity funds the treasury, the treasury buys tokens, tokens are distributed to holders, holders have more reason to hold and engage, and that drives more trading activity. We call this the Meme Economy flywheel.
$MEMES relies entirely on pump.fun's native creator fee. There is no additional tax, no separate buy/sell fee layered on top.
Every fee payout received by the creator wallet is divided manually by the team at first, while automation is built:
Because both the creator wallet and the treasury wallet are public Solana addresses, every split, purchase, and distribution can be independently verified on-chain.
The treasury holds two categories of tokens, each with its own distribution rules.
Tokens the treasury buys directly using trading fees. The community votes on which pump.fun project gets picked next (see Section 5).
Tokens received from official partnerships and collaborations, not purchased by the treasury, but allocated to $MEMES by partner projects. Selected by the team.
This split rewards the people who stick around. The longer you hold $MEMES, the more of these partner-token pools you become eligible for.
Why a project would partner with $MEMES:
To receive any weekly distribution, a wallet must hold:
Eligibility is verified via Helius API snapshots taken at the start of the 7-day window and again at the distribution moment. This prevents wallets from buying in right before a snapshot, collecting a reward, and immediately selling.
The 1-year-locked portion of Collab/Partnership tokens (Section 4.2) is reserved for long-term holders: wallets that have held $MEMES continuously for 1+ year, tracked via ongoing Helius snapshots. When the lock period for a given partner-token allocation ends, that pool is distributed exclusively among qualifying long-term holders.
| Pool | Frequency | Mechanism |
|---|---|---|
| Our Pick (100%) | Weekly | Streamflow claim portal |
| Collab/Partnership (50% liquid) | Weekly | Streamflow claim portal |
| Collab/Partnership (50% locked) | Annual, per allocation | Streamflow claim portal, after 1-year hold |
Claiming is self-serve: eligible holders connect to the Streamflow claim portal and claim their allocation, paying a small network fee (~0.01 SOL) to cover the claim transaction. Nothing is force-airdropped.
Holders decide what the treasury buys next.

$MEMES starts with on-chain rewards, but the longer-term vision goes further: bringing memecoins into everyday life.
Memecoins are one of the largest and most active communities in crypto, and crypto is steadily becoming a normal way to pay for things. The Fun IRL Hub aims to connect those two ideas, giving $MEMES holders a path to turn their rewards into real-world fun.
Early focus areas being explored include:
The Fun IRL Hub is not limited to $MEMES alone. Part of the vision is to bring memecoin communities together, so holders across different projects can put their holdings to real-world use, with $MEMES as the hub that makes it possible.
Specifics such as partners, supported categories, and how redemption works are in active development and will be detailed as they are finalized. The Fun IRL Hub is a Phase 3 initiative (see Roadmap).
$MEMES is an experimental token built on a public, permissionless launch platform. As with any crypto asset:
