Memecoin mania has taken the crypto space by storm, with tokens like Dogwifhat, $BODEN, and $TREMP dominating the charts. However, amidst the frenzy, a new player has emerged from the NFT space – Book of Meme ($BOME), created by digital artist Darkfarms.
The project witnessed an unprecedented surge, reaching a staggering $1.46 billion market cap within 48 hours of its presale launch. Currently, $BOME holds a market cap of around $700 million, securing a spot among the top 130 coins on CoinMarketCap.
The cultural impact of Book of Meme was further evidenced as renowned artists like Beeple and Bold Leonidas paid tribute to its rise. The project’s success also sparked a memecoin presale meta, generating over $122 million in funding, albeit falling short of $BOME’s returns.
Despite appearing as an overnight success to outsiders, Darkfarms has been a prominent figure in the Pepe art community for years, contributing to various projects and releasing NFT collections like Smowl and Derage.
Now, at the forefront of Book of Meme, Darkfarms is redirecting the project’s liquidity back to the artist community. Notably, he auctioned a 1/1 inscription on Bitcoin Ordinals for 18,888,888 $BOME ($275,000) and initiated a series of $BOME auctions by fellow artists.
Amid the whirlwind, Darkfarms provided insight into the $BOME launch and his vision for the future, emphasizing the project’s potential to channel memetic energy.
