Embracing Meme Culture

Eldarune has made a bold move by placing meme culture at the heart of its evolution through the M.E.G.A (Make Elda Great Again) movement. This shift represents a philosophical and sociological leap into the future of gaming communities.

Sociological Perspective: Memes act as cultural artifacts, fostering shared humor, identity, and community rituals. M.E.G.A leverages meme culture to empower players as co-creators of Eldarune’s narrative.

Philosophical Vision: Aligning with the concept of the hyperreal, M.E.G.A creates an imagined greatness that exists in the collective imagination. Memes transform Eldarune into a shared cultural phenomenon where humor and creativity drive engagement.

Why It Matters:

  • Bridges the gap between Web2 familiarity and Web3 innovation.
  • Decentralizes storytelling, giving players ownership of the game’s identity.
  • Brings joy and playfulness, making Eldarune a living, breathing cultural phenomenon.

Through M.E.G.A, Eldarune redefines gaming as a space where memes are the language, connection is the currency, and greatness is a shared dream. Join the movement to create, imagine, and thrive together.

Token Burns and Staking Pools

  • Team Token Burn: In a groundbreaking move embodying decentralization and meme culture, 90,000,000 $ELDA team tokens were sent into the infinite nothingness. By renouncing team tokens, we shifted power entirely to the community. This action underscores the spirit of M.E.G.A (Make Elda Great Again) and strengthens trust and transparency.
  • Token Burn Strategy: Reignited in September, with 239,883.50 $ELDA tokens burned. Moving forward, 10% of $ELDA from Digard Store and NFT upgrades will be burned monthly.
  • High-APY Staking Pools: A 30-day staking pool with 100% APY filled up 5M $ELDA in less than 24 hours.
  • Additional pools are planned to reward loyal holders.
