Title: Yield farming satire MEME turns into multi-million dollar crypto project
Post by: Lenipiw on September 04, 2020, 05:24:02 PM

A fake advertisement intended to send up the yield farming frenzy has turned into a genuine NFT farming DAO with a $3 million market cap. Degenerator, or MEME, an obscure project that began life as an airdrop to Telegram users, has managed to garner a $3 million market cap and is seeking to carve a niche for itself as a non-fungible token (NFT) farming protocol.

MEME emerged from a joke posted by ConsenSys’ DeFi product lead Jordan Lyall, who created a joke advertisement ‘The Degenerator’ — a fictitious tool for creating ponzinomics-inspired yield farming tokens.
