4 min readSep 7, 2024

Note: This whitepaper is the initial framework for Memetrust and is subject to change based on market conditions, community feedback, and opportunities that arise within the Solana ecosystem.

MemeTrust Summary:

The Solana ecosystem, known as one of the premier blockchains for memecoin projects — has become a breeding ground for scams, rug pulls, and manipulation. With the barrier to launching a memecoin reduced to zero dollars (on sites like Pump.Fun), the market has seen a massive influx of unreliable and fraudulent memecoin projects. This has created a pressing issue for both memecoin investors and legitimate projects:

Who Can You Trust?

Enter MemeTrust — a game changing, invitation-only platform designed to address these challenges by offering a secure and vetted environment for memecoin projects to thrive. Powered by the $LAB community, MemeTrust aims to provide a comprehensive network, solutions, services, and resources to foster growth, collaboration, and trust within the Solana memecoin space.

Mission

MemeTrust’s mission is to develop the most powerful network of trusted projects and service providers on Solana by:

Onboarding trusted memecoin projects and service providers utilizing the leading ID verification solution on Solana (STAY TUNED!).
Facilitating collaboration, partnerships, and growth opportunities for memecoin projects.
Developing a network of the most trusted, reliable, and valuable service providers on Solana that can support the growth of memecoin projects (KOLs, raid teams, developers, exchanges, artists, etc.).
Providing valuable resources and guidance to current and prospective memecoin project founders.
Crowdsourcing information about potential threats to memecoins (e.g KOLs that have a reputation for dumping on projects).
Give memecoin investors the ability to find a curated list of trusted projects on Solana that have joined MemeTrust. This can help investors minimize the risk of investing in memecoins that have a high risk of rugging and/or failing.
