Introduction

Background of the Project

LANDWOLF is a character from Matt Furie’s (Twitter: @Matt_Furie) comic Boys Club, which debuted in 2005. The comic primarily features Pepe the Frog alongside three friends: Andy, Brett, and Landwolf. Through humor and satire, Boys Club explores the lives and culture of young people, with Pepe becoming the standout character due to his unique appearance and expressions. Over time, Pepe evolved into a globally recognized meme, inspiring countless internet-based remixes and adaptations. Below is an overview and timeline of Matt Furie’s iconic characters.

Within this context, Landwolf emerged as a memecoin tied to the Boys Club culture and a derivative of Pepe. The Landwolf character embodies wisdom, courage, and a spirit of adventure, with its core narrative centered around werewolf emojis, each of which carries its own emotions and stories. Landwolf is portrayed as a lover of games and pizza, transforming into a “party animal” during full moons, always seeking thrills and novel experiences. This personality has been extended into the decentralized cryptocurrency realm, attracting meme enthusiasts and investors alike, fostering a unique community vibe.

Development History

Since its launch on April 21, 2024, $WOLF achieved a peak market capitalization of $15 million within the first four days, accompanied by significant on-chain trading volume. However, this initial surge was followed by a sharp decline in trading activity and price. According to Coincarp data [1], between June and July, 2024 $WOLF implemented an aggressive marketing strategy by listing on several centralized exchanges (CEXs), particularly collaborating with platforms like Gate.io to launch mining pool reward campaigns. This initiative not only revived trading volume but also enhanced the project’s visibility and influence in the memecoin market, with its market capitalization reaching a peak of approximately $110 million during this period. Through these efforts, $WOLF aimed to solidify its market position and attract more investors and community members.

In addition to its collaborations with centralized exchanges, $WOLF expanded its market presence through various unique partnerships. In the latter half of 2024, $WOLF strengthened cross-industry collaborations to diversify its ecosystem and boost user engagement.

• Partnership with Gotbit Hedge Fund: In June 2024, Landwolf announced a partnership with Gotbit Hedge Fund. This collaboration marked a significant step in expanding Landwolf’s presence in the ETH memecoin sector. Through this partnership, Landwolf aimed to increase activity and influence within the ETH meme market, further solidifying its position. [2]
• Partnership with Travala: In July 2024, Landwolf established a notable partnership with the travel platform Travala.com, enabling users to use $WOLF to pay for over 2.2 million hotels worldwide and book flights. This collaboration expanded Landwolf’s use cases, enhancing its real-world utility and attracting more user participation. [3]
• Partnership with Zebec Cards: In November 2024, Landwolf partnered with Zebec Cards to become a supported token for the Zebec Silver Card, which is backed by Mastercard and accepted globally. This partnership strengthened Landwolf’s connections with Web3 and crypto finance, offering broader payment and spending scenarios. [4]

These cross-industry collaborations accelerated $WOLF’s expansion in the memecoin space and opened new opportunities across multiple sectors. With strategic partnerships progressing, $WOLF has attracted a broader user base, further solidifying its position in the cryptocurrency market. Recently, $WOLF reached a new market capitalization high of approximately $230 million, showcasing strong growth potential.

Team Background

The founding team of LandWolf consists of developers passionate about meme culture and blockchain technology. They are committed to creating a transparent and fair trading environment to enhance community engagement. The team opted not to allocate tokens in advance to developers or for marketing activities, ensuring all users have an equal opportunity to participate in token trading.

Tokenomics

The initial supply of $WOLF was 1,000,000,000,000 (1 trillion) tokens, all of which were put into circulation. Approximately 9.78% have been burned, resulting in a current supply of 902,159,505,150 tokens. The LandWolf team burned the initial liquidity pool tokens and relinquished control to the community, aiming to eliminate concerns about liquidity withdrawal. Additionally, the project established a 0% transaction tax, allowing users to trade freely without incurring extra fees.

On-Chain Data

As of December 22, 2024, according to Etherscan data [6], the top 10 holders of $WOLF account for approximately 14.62% of the circulating supply. Among these, the largest holder is the Landwolf official treasury, holding 3.2%. The second-largest holder is the MEXC exchange, while the seventh-largest is the Uniswap liquidity pool. The remaining holders are on-chain whale addresses. Further analysis reveals that centralized exchanges, including MEXC, Gate.io, and Bitget, collectively hold around 3.91%. This relatively small concentration of holdings on centralized exchanges suggests a degree of decentralization in $WOLF’s ownership structure. The 3.2% held by the Landwolf official treasury provides strategic flexibility for funding the project.

According to HolderScan data [7] as of December 22, 2024, $WOLF ranks fourth in holder count among the four Boys Club series memecoins, with approximately 150,000 on-chain addresses. The project added 250 new holders in the past seven days—a 1.6% increase. While this growth rate is modest, the substantial existing user base demonstrates $WOLF’s established position in the memecoin market. Its fourth-place ranking within the series, however, indicates potential for expanding its community reach.

As of December 22, 2024, according to CoinGecko data [8], the 24-hour trading volume across exchanges is as follows. Most trades occur on centralized exchanges (CEX), with decentralized exchanges (DEX) represented primarily by Uniswap, ranked ninth. Notably, Gate.io ranks third among all exchanges in trading volume, offering the smallest spreads and excellent depth, creating an efficient trading environment for users.
