Executive Summary

Vision Statement

To create the first truly cyclical cryptocurrency ecosystem where tokens are born, thrive, and are systematically recycled by users to fuel the next generation of community-driven meme tokens, establishing a sustainable and entertaining approach to decentralized finance.

The Meme Asylum Experiment represents a groundbreaking approach to cryptocurrency ecosystems through its innovative cyclical token creation and burning mechanism. Built on a foundation of controlled chaos and systematic regeneration, our platform introduces the concept of “Ecosystem Cycle Tokens” (ECT) that orchestrate a perpetual 28-day cycle of meme token birth, growth, and destruction.

The Meme Asylum Experiment will be initially launched on BASE and is expected to later expand to other chains and ecosystems.

Introduction

The Problem

The cryptocurrency landscape is littered with abandoned meme tokens, failed projects, and unsustainable tokenomics. With the current meme coin market cap exceeding $65 billion, traditional meme coins follow a predictable pattern: explosive launch, brief popularity, gradual decline, and eventual abandonment with unpredictable timing. This creates waste, disappointment, and loss of potential long-term value creation in communities.

Our Solution

The Meme Asylum Experiment introduces a revolutionary cyclical approach where token death becomes rebirth. Instead of allowing tokens to fade into obscurity, our ecosystem systematically recycles their value through controlled burning mechanisms, feeding the creation of new community-driven meme tokens every 28 days.

Core Principles

• Cyclical Regeneration: Every 28 days, the ecosystem undergoes a complete regeneration cycle, where users are allowed to burn existing tokens and regenerate to create new ones based on community input.
• Community Governance: Token holders participate in selecting which meme concepts become the next generation of Memecoins through decentralized voting.
• Value Preservation: The burning and creation process ensures that value is preserved and redistributed rather than lost to market abandonment.
• Sustainable Entertainment: By design, the ecosystem provides continuous entertainment and engagement without the typical boom/rugpull cycle of typical meme coins.

The Asylum Metaphor

The Meme Asylum Experiment is an arena where the wild insanity of meme culture is harnessed into systematic value creation. Within this mad experiment, players fuel the chaos itself — burning, voting, and competing in a game that thrives on unpredictability. Like a phoenix rising from its own ashes, each cycle transforms the frenzy of previous generations into new life, forging a perpetual engine of community engagement, creative mayhem, and financial opportunity.

Technical Mechanics

Ecosystem Cycle Tokens (ECT)

ECT serves as the backbone of The Meme Asylum Experiment ecosystem. These tokens control the cyclical mechanisms and provide holders with governance over the regeneration process.

The 28-Day Cycle

Bootstrap & Creation Phase (Days 1-14)

Community nominates and votes on Memecoin concepts. ECT holders participate in governance to select winning concepts. New Memecoins are minted based on community selections with initial liquidity of 1:1 ECT:Memecoin provided.

Trading & Reverse Burn Phase (Days 15-28)

Liquidity available on DEX for active trading (see Liquidity Provision for detail). Voluntary burning of existing Memecoins is open after the mint period is complete (after day 28). Reverse burns can generate multipliers based on Memecoin supply, with the base multiplier starting at 1× and doubling with every supply halving of the Memecoin, up to a maximum multiplier of 32×.

Practical Examples

Private Therapy Session

As the Meme Asylum ecosystem evolves, later phases will introduce the Private Therapy Session, a special fast-track mechanism for the rapid deployment of new meme tokens tied to trending or time-sensitive events. These sessions are designed to capture the immediacy of meme culture, enabling the launch of a new Memecoin within a 24-hour window from concept to mint.

Unlike the standard 28-day cycle, a Private Therapy Session bypasses the community voting phase. Instead, the initiating party funds the session through a standard hosting fee, which unlocks an expedited mint process open to all participants in the ECT ecosystem. Any user holding ECT may take part in minting by burning ECT during the limited session window, ensuring that even these accelerated launches remain grounded in the same core economic principles of burn-based creation.

Private Therapy Sessions are designed for agility, spontaneity, and community activation. Each new Memecoin born through this process launches with an automatically generated 1:1 liquidity pool (1 ECT paired with 1 Memecoin), permanently locked to preserve trust and fairness. There are no multipliers or tier bonuses applied — every participant mints at the same rate — maintaining simplicity and equality while channeling the collective energy of the Asylum’s most engaged participants.

By enabling rapid, controlled bursts of creative chaos, the Private Therapy Session brings the full manic energy of meme culture into the Asylum’s structure, allowing the community to respond in real time to the cultural pulse of the internet.

Tokenomics

Unruggable by Design

The reverse burn model and built-in perpetual locked liquidity work in combination to stabilize the market for each Memecoin launched. A user holding a chosen Memecoin from a previous cycle can trade the Memecoin, burn it back into ECT, or hold it until the Reverse Burn Multiplier suits them.

All Memecoin liquidity pools are perpetually locked with keys thrown away, ensuring complete security and trust. No team member or developer can ever access or remove liquidity, making rug pulls impossible. ECT liquidity pools will be locked for extended periods, and liquidity will be added after each cycle.

ECT Token Distribution

The Ecosystem Cycle Token (ECT) follows a strategic and algorithmic distribution model designed to ensure maximum community participation, adequate liquidity, and sustainable ecosystem growth.

Distribution of Community

100 million ECT will be minted during the bootstrap period in order to facilitate liquidity, marketing, and other operational costs.

• 20% ECT Liquidity
• 20% Marketing
• 10% Development and Operations
• 50% Team Reserves

Bootstrap Pricing

ECT tokens will be available for purchase at the initial price of $0.0025, with payment in USDC or the equivalent price in ETH (with price pegged at launch time). This price will double every cycle. USDC and ETH prices will double independently with no external reset for ETH/USD price changes in the future. The price doubling model will effectively limit supply over time.

Cycle Structure

28-Day Cycles (Two 14-Day Steps)
Every 28 days, a new cycle begins. Each cycle consists of two 14-day steps: (1) nomination/selection and (2) minting. Holders are not required to sell or burn Memecoins after minting — they can hold indefinitely while new cycles continue to launch.

Step 1: Nomination, Voting, and Selection (14 Days)

• Users nominate and/or vote on memes by burning ECT.
• This vote simultaneously positions users with multipliers for use in the Step 2 mint action.
• Highest-voted meme selected at end of Step 1.

Multiplier Calculation

Users compete for a mint multiplier based on their total vote (ECT burn) in Step 1. Their multiplier will be decided based on their position within four tier levels or Tiers of Madness.

Reference Average = (Old Top Vote + New Top Vote) / 2
Positioning is determined dynamically during the voting step. If a new vote causes a user’s combined vote to exceed the current top vote, a new Reference Average is calculated as the average of the old top vote and the new top vote.

Timing Bonus

• +0.1× per remaining day in cycle
• Maximum bonus = +1.4× (if voting on day 1)

Final Multiplier Ranges

• Lowest quarter: 2.1× to 3.5×
• Second lowest: 2.25× to 3.65×
• Second highest: 3× to 4.4×
• Top Rank — Highest: 4× to 5.4×

Step 2: Minting Phase (14 Days)

• Only time window to mint the Memecoin selected in Step 1.
• Users burn ECT to mint the selected Memecoin.
• Every Memecoin launches with 1:1 liquidity (1 ECT to 1 Memecoin).

Minting Formula

Memecoin_minted = ECT_burned × User’s multiplier

Reverse Burn Mechanism

Users can burn Memecoins to mint ECT anytime after the completion of the Memecoin minting period. The reverse multiplier is based on the remaining supply of each respective Memecoin, creating increasing utility and economic value as supply decreases.

Reverse Burn Formula

ECT_minted = Memecoin_burned × current_multiplier

Multiplier doubles with every supply halving, up to five halvings with a maximum 32× multiplier.

Liquidity Provision

A permanent liquidity pool is established on Uniswap for each new Memecoin, paired 1:1 with freshly minted ECT. The total pool size mirrors the ECT burned during Phase 1 voting — equal to 100% of that burn amount. Both the required ECT and Memecoin are newly minted for this purpose, and the resulting LP tokens are immediately burned to lock liquidity forever.

NFT Integration

Meme Asylum has plans for a unique NFT launch that will offer benefits vastly different from typical NFT projects. NFT holders may receive advantages such as:

• Increased or decreased transaction fees
• Priority allocations in new cycles
• Enhanced voting multipliers
• Exclusive meme submission rights
• Special governance privileges

The exact utility and benefits for NFT holders are still being finalized. The team is committed to creating a truly innovative NFT experience that adds real value to the ecosystem.
