Launched three weeks ago, Wen (WEN) is designed to immortalize the old crypto meme \"Wen?\" (\"When?\" in broken English). Crypto enthusiasts use this concept to highlight the anticipation of a product release, update, or price upsurge: \"Wen moon?\" \"Wen mainnet?\" and so on.
Backed by Wen Foundation, the WEN token uses a cat image as its logo. Prior to the rapid price upsurge, it announced that the Foundation locked 5 billion BONK tokens in the treasury to generate returns.
BONK is the native token of Bonk Inu, the largest and most popular meme coin on Solana (SOL). In December 2023, Solana\'s meme coin mania started with BONK and WIF.
Fun fact about Solana coins ✅
There are only 7 major coins on Solana with more than 200k+ holders.$BONK, $JUP, $PYTH, $HNT, $USDC, $USDT, & $WEN
The cat is excited to share that stat alongside some top tier tokens in the space.

Beyond meme ethos: Wen (WEN) pioneered new NFT standard on Solana (SOL)
Also, unlike other meme coins, according to its team\'s statements, Wen (WEN) introduced a number of tech novelties to Web3.
Wen (WEN) became the first cryptocurrency coin based on a fractional NFT. Also, its team pioneered the WNS 0.0 NFT standard.
A total of 70% of the aggregated token supply was distributed to 1 million wallets on the Solana (SOL) blockchain for free earlier this year.
