POPCAT (POPCAT) is a memecoin inspired by the viral internet meme featuring a domestic short-haired cat named Oatmeal. This meme gained widespread popularity due to its simple yet humorous depiction of the cat's mouth opening and closing, and evolved into an interactive online game called Popcat.click. The meme's success further led to the creation of the Popcat token on the Solana blockchain.

Popcat.click

The game, Popcat.click, allows users to click on an image of Oatmeal, causing the cat's mouth to "pop" open and closed, with each click contributing to a global leaderboard ranked by nation. Popcat has also expanded its presence to other gaming platforms like Roblox, where it serves as a non-playable character in games like Evade, further increasing its cultural reach. 

It’s important to note that the POPCAT token was inspired by the original meme and game, is not associated with the original creators, and does not have utility within Popcat.click.

POPCAT is a memecoin on the Solana blockchain, driven largely by community engagement and speculative trading rather than functional or intrinsic utility. POPCAT has a total supply of 979,974,293 tokens. POPCAT is a memecoin with no intrinsic value.

About the Founders

The POPCAT token was launched by a pseudonymous team. 

Popcat.click was developed by three students from the University of Sheffield: Freddy Heppell, Joshua O’Sullivan, and Edward Hails, and launched on December 11, 2020.
