Wen (WEN)
Wen is a Solana-based memecoin introduced in January 2024, famously linked to the concept of fractional NFTs. It gained recognition through a substantial airdrop to over a million wallets, as part of a testing effort by the decentralized exchange aggregator Jupiter (JUP). The creation of Wen draws inspiration from "A Love Letter to Wen Bros," a poem by Meow, the anonymous founder of Jupiter. This poem was converted into a non-fungible token (NFT), divided into a trillion pieces, and distributed as individual WEN tokens. Recipients included active users of Jupiter, holders of various NFT projects on the platform, and owners of the Solana Saga smartphone, each receiving 643,652 WEN tokens. The Wen team expressed their enthusiasm for breaking new ground and fostering community engagement through this innovative launch.

Technology
The Wen digital currency is built on the idea of fractional NFTs. The aforementioned poem was transformed into an NFT and then divided into one trillion pieces. Each of these fractions was linked to a WEN token, creating a system where each token holder owns a small part of the NFT's digital assets. To support this novel approach, the Wen team developed a new NFT token standard called the Wen New Standard (WNS). WNS is an open-source system for NFT projects, accessible to all community members, and was designed on the LFG Launchpad constructed by Jupiter. This token launch network operates on the Solana blockchain and is supported by the popular Jupiter swap aggregator.
Tokenomics
Wen boasts an original total supply of 1 trillion tokens. Of this supply, 70% was allocated for the airdrop, 20% went to the Liquidity Pool, and 10% was reserved for the Treasury.
Utility
Wen functions as a memecoin with elements of decentralized governance through its association with the WEN DAO. It serves as the governance token for WEN DAO, enabling token holders to participate in decision-making. Its utility is influenced by integration with NFT and DeFi platforms within the Solana ecosystem.
The Wen Foundation
The Wen Foundation is committed to supporting the Solana community by advancing the development of public goods and highlighting Solana's potential. Its initial contribution, the Wen New Standard (WNS), is an open-source NFT standard intended for expansion by community members. There is no team allocation or compensation for early contributors, emphasizing its community-driven nature.
