BOOK OF MEME

In March 2024 the pseudonymous artist Darkfarms published BOOK OF MEME as an experiment in memes, decentralized storage and openly speculative trading. The central artifact was not a conventional whitepaper. It was an Arweave-hosted digital book pointing onward to IPFS, Arweave and on-chain images, plus generators and CC0 material.

The choice produced something verifiable: the page and several linked works remain retrievable. It did not turn every sentence into delivery. Bitcoin inscriptions, a decentralized social app and additional tools appeared as future intentions, so the archive must be judged link by link rather than by the slogan that memes would live forever.

The launch page directed buyers to send SOL from personal wallets to 6jfC9p4jzTBTGpMrbR8H464kNo1SBGNCW17oDETzSJrf for 24 hours. There was no exact token price. Each buyer's share would be calculated only after total contributions were known, making the final pool of SOL the denominator for everyone.

The advertised 69,000,000,420 supply was divided into 50% for the presale, 30% for liquidity and 20% for a community fund unlocked after three months. Contemporary reporting put contributions above 10,000 SOL, often around 10,131. Darkfarms promised hourly updates and a final CSV, but this review did not locate that final file or an audited reconciliation.

The principal BOME/WSOL Raydium pool, DSUvc5qf5LJHHV5e2tD184ixotSnCnwj7i4jJa4Xsrmt, was created on 14 March 2024. Binance added BOME to further exchange products days later. The transition from presale allocation to global trading was exceptionally fast, but an exchange listing verifies access—not the archive's completeness or a legal right for holders.

Pool depth is also a snapshot, not a reserve promise. On 5 September 2026 DexScreener showed roughly $14.9 million of liquidity in the leading pair, a figure that can move with prices, swaps and withdrawals. BOME has no contractual one-dollar or SOL redemption price.

The canonical six-decimal mint, ukHH6c7mMyiWCf1b9pnWe25TSpkDDt3H5pQZgZ74J82, reported approximately 68.867 billion BOME on 5 September 2026. Mint and freeze authorities were null. The outstanding count was about 133.18 million below the advertised genesis number, but the records reviewed here do not justify assigning every reduction to a particular actor or event.

Supply cannot be expanded through that mint, yet its metadata remained mutable under E4X8Fihh8RHwwtCPN4XFUFc1F7iygBX3evfLjQnMFak9. More consequentially, 6jfC9p4jzTBTGpMrbR8H464kNo1SBGNCW17oDETzSJrf held 591,230,920.067563 of 591,464,343.154161 outstanding LP tokens for the main pool—about 99.9605%. Revoking issuance did not burn or visibly lock the liquidity claim.

The surviving page identifies Darkfarms, but no reviewed source provides a legal issuer, a public treasury charter, a multisig membership list or a token-governance constitution. The 20% community-fund label described a launch allocation; it did not explain current custody, spending rules or an enforceable holder veto.

A BOME holder can control and transfer tokens in a compatible wallet and trade where markets permit. No reviewed record grants equity, revenue, redemption, exclusive use of memes or editorial power over the book. CC0 material is open to everyone, while mutable metadata remains an administrator's publishing lever.

That separation is the project's lasting lesson. Arweave can preserve a page, revoked mint keys can cap one issuance route, and a market can remain liquid—all while curation and liquidity still depend on address holders whose identity, policy and safeguards are not fully disclosed.
