Abstract
Crypto isn’t just for the humans and AI’s anymore. As crypto begins to underpin societal structures and transactions in a trustless manner, people of all walks of life will become crypto users, crypto holders, and crypto participants. Dogs and cats are our best friends, corgis are particularly cute and amazing, and Corgi is a companion memecoin for these crypto holders.
Corgis are playful, friendly, outgoing, protective & bold, and so are corgi holders.
Corgi is a memecoin created in the ethos of love and friendship and hope, corgi has no intrinsic value, no expectation of profit, and no prescribed utility.
Corgi holders are happy, connected, united in shared peace, loyalty and joy. We will welcome millions more holders to our fun.
Introduction
Corgis were created on the ethereum blockchain in March 2021 by Fragosti (who went on to develop Phantom, the leading Solana wallet) and as such are the first large scale dog NFT collection. They are hella cute, and pioneered some interesting novel mechanisms - for example, holders could choose which corgi (and its traits) to adopt, with each corgi’s mint price following a dutch auction mechanism until it was either adopted or passed over. So each corgi is unique, but part of a wholesome gang that loves good vibes & having fun together.
Without an official team, as the dogfather Fragosti has moved on to other projects, the independent corgi community of nearly 5,000 unique holders has organically banded together on many initiatives. Corgi owners vote as a DAO, following the principle that 1 well looked after corgi = 1 vote.
Corgi holders want to grow our community and for everyone to feel welcome and loved as we all grow together, and corgi coin takes that philosophy to a new chain and format.
Supply & initial distribution
There are 1 billion $Corgi, the supply is fixed and cannot increase. There is no presale. No Corgis are being distributed to influencers or promoters.
The only funds going into Corgi liquidity at the outset is a modest sum a few community members will contribute to begin a market where people can buy and sell corgi if they wish.
Corgi is a quintessential meme coin with no expectation of profit. The idea is similar to dogecoin, WIF, Shiba Inu, Mfercoin etc.
Approximately 20% of the supply will be distributed to the thousands of wallet addresses who hold Corgis, with 5% going to a community treasury. The remaining 75% will be put into the liquidity pool along with the starting Eth. None of the supply will be reserved. It is a fair launch for all.
The 25% distribution goes to three groups:
i. holders of corgis, with a special allocation for 1/1 holders;
ii. Fragosti, OG dev of corgis & Phantom;
iii. community treasury
The largest single distribution of tokens by far goes to the corgi community treasury, which will receive 5 million corgi in the deployer contract address. This is to ensure there is a lot of corgi available for future distribution as seen fit, likely following dao voting as usual.
The distribution .csv is available in the corgi discord.
Base chain
Why base? because it’s one of the places where crypto could end up being most accessible to the most people, some of whom will want to own corgis to give them companionship and happiness. As an ethereum chain – it honors the origins and home of corgis, and means the airdrop can be done easily to existing holder wallets. Maybe one day corgis can also join their dogfather on Solana. Corgis are for all, after all.
Conclusion
Corgi coin is a community initiative to bring corgis to new holders and communities and spread joy and happiness. We are grateful for bitcoin & doge & mfer & cryptopunks and all those who have gone before us in the crypto community for the ideas and principles we follow, and we are excited for a bright future in which millions can experience the joy of the corgi community.
