About
The problem it solves Balaji Srinivasan perfectly outlines the problem and our solution here in this tweet https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1370373708506750977 The meme economy will become real. - Meme creators will make NFTs - Timestamps give proof-of-first - Memegen partially goes on-chain - Memetic spread is more traceable - Memers become millionaires - Risky art becomes uncensorable & monetizable - Art moves outside regime control Memers can monetize privately. - use real names, pseudonyms, or be anonymous - persistent pseudonyms are distinct from anonymity - digital sigs allow persistent pseudonymity (eg “Satoshi”) - on-chain tracking will eventually be at creator discretion, via view keys or equivalent
How it's made
Challenges we ran into Searching for duplicates or very similar memes using an AI suite on the blockchain. To achieve this I made a copy of the metadata of every NFT meme that was created to the db and then ran pHash + Levenshtein distance on the db and a string match on ETH nodes to figure out the duplicates. Using a oracle for auction pricing determination.
