Spicy Projects #2: NPC
We’re back with our Spicy Projects series! A series where we spotlight the hottest projects in the Web3 space. Today, we’re diving into a project that’s turning a viral internet meme into a whole new type of token. Say hello to Non-Playable Coin (NPC)—a memecoin that’s taking things to the next level.
NPC: The Memecoin Backed by the Meme
Non-Playable Coin (NPC) is not your average memecoin. It’s a token that’s directly tied to the famous NPC meme, one of the most popular internet jokes about people acting like “non-playable characters” in real life.
Here’s what makes NPC special: every single coin is backed by an NFT of the meme itself. That means NPC isn’t just another token with a funny name—it’s connected to something you can actually own and show off. This makes NPC the first-ever memecoin-NFT hybrid! The total supply of NPC was set based on the global population when it launched on July 29, 2023. Why? Because NPC is for everyone—just like the meme. Their motto says it all: “I support the current coin.”
Aiming for Total NPC Takeover
NPC has a grand vision: to become the definitive memecoin of the internet. To achieve this, the team has made significant moves, including acquiring the npc.com domain in March 2024—a testament to their commitment to owning the narrative around this meme.
Through their platform, app.npc.com, users can create their own unique NPCs in virtually endless ways. This feature reinforces the project’s mission to integrate creativity, personalization, and community building.
The future of NPC includes ambitions for broader adoption of their groundbreaking tech. Their custom token standard, ERC11, makes it easy for others to launch their own memecoin-NFT hybrids. This innovation allows creators to tie coins to media like music, videos, or even games, potentially revolutionizing how blockchain connects with popular culture.
Memecoins 2.0: The Future is Here
In an ecosystem where memecoins often rely on hype, NPC delivers substance. By linking tokens to NFTs and introducing novel tech, NPC aims to push the boundaries of what memecoins can achieve.
As the team puts it: “Ever since we launched over a year ago, we’ve always been shipping and building novel ways to advance the memecoin space forward.” NPC is a fusion of what’s familiar and what’s forward-thinking: a widely beloved meme paired with tech innovation that points to the next evolution of Web3.
Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for the next chapter in our #SpicyProjects series. Until then, keep exploring the crypto world—and believe in something!
