Overview
zkMeme launched as a memecoin native to the zkSync Era L2, attempting to capitalize on zkSync's hype and the memecoin trend simultaneously. The project claimed to be "the memecoin of zkSync" with no actual product or utility. Like most chain-specific memecoins trying to be "the PEPE of [chain]," zkMeme failed to maintain interest once the initial novelty wore off. Activity has collapsed to near-zero.
Smart Contracts
Basic ERC-20 token contract deployed on zkSync Era. No meaningful smart contract functionality beyond token transfers. The contract is simple and offers nothing distinguishing from thousands of other memecoin deployments.
Security
No security audits. On zkSync Era, contract deployment is permissionless and the contract follows the same minimal patterns as other memecoins. No security track record worth evaluating — the project is too small and simple to have meaningful security considerations beyond basic contract correctness.
Liquidity
Essentially zero meaningful liquidity. Trading volume has evaporated. Whatever DEX pools existed on zkSync have been largely drained. The token is effectively untradeable at any meaningful size.
Adoption
Dead. Social media activity has ceased, the community has dispersed, and on-chain activity is negligible. The project failed to capture lasting attention even within the zkSync ecosystem, which itself has struggled with user retention.
Tokenomics
Standard memecoin supply with no utility or demand mechanism. No revenue, no staking, no governance — the token exists solely as a speculative instrument that no one is speculating on anymore.
Risk Factors
- Project is effectively dead with no activity or community
- Zero liquidity makes remaining tokens worthless in practice
- zkSync ecosystem itself has faced adoption challenges
- Chain-specific memecoins have an abysmal track record
Conclusion
zkMeme represents the failure mode of chain-specific memecoins — a brief flare of attention followed by permanent irrelevance. The 1.0 score is the minimum, reflecting a project with no value, no activity, and no future. Avoid entirely.
