What is WIF?
Dogwifhat (WIF), a memecoin based on dog culture. It’s one of the newest coins in the market, and since its launch dating back in November 2023, the token was able to hit important achievements.
The project amassed a loyal community focused on bringing it to the moon. WIF investors managed to raise over $700,000 in a few days as part of its Las Vegas Sphere project.
Dogwifhat takes the Shiba Inu meme and injects it with a decentralized twist.
Unlike memecoins with central leadership, Dogwifhat’s ownership is distributed amongst its community, fostering a collaborative approach.
What is MEW?
MEW is another memecoin that’s built on Solana and it also managed to gain huge popularity in the crypto industry. The aim of the MEW token is reportedly to challenge the dominance of dog-themed memecoins by bringing in cat-centric narratives.
Since its launch, MEW managed to attract important attention in the crypto community as well.
Lately, memecoins have been in the spotlight a lot despite the risks that the tokens pose and the high price volatility that comes with them.
Solana is expected to get a fix for the implementation bug today, April 15.
Solana ecosystem faced issues regarding failed transactions and user mistrust, but devs have been working on a fix for the so-called implementation bug that caused the transaction failure on Solana.
