The Hattest of Cats: $CWIF writing/meme contest
The contest is now closed. See the end of this post for our winners!
We're back with another contest!
This time it's the token2022 memecoin $CWIF.
$CWIF: How did we get here?
Let's get started by some background on this token.
Dogs + Hats
By now you should've all seen the memecoin $WIF (dogwifhat).

https://dogwifcoin.org/
Much like we saw with $BONK before, the Solana ecosystem has embraced the $WIF as one of their own.

Even at the highest levels.

Hats for Everyone!
So with all this hat meme-coin-ery the inevitable onslaught of copycats has emerged...
In some senses, $CWIF is just another of these.
But not entirely.
Token2022 & the Kitty who likes to burn
$CWIF is a token2022 standard. That enables a host of new functionality to be built into the token as defaults.

$BERN was the first token2022 token on Solana. This blog post from Helius is a great explainer of how this token standard works https://www.helius.dev/blog/what-is-token-2022
Burn Burn Burn
The mechanism here is simple at heart. There's a 4% token burn on every transaction $CWIF is part of.
Sell, Buy, or Transfer all incur this fee.
Over time this results in the supply of $CWIF decreasing.

Which has a lot of meme-potential as you can imagine (and cats with hats was already a deep well of inspiration)

The $CWIF team
The team behind the project is small but has been really active in using airdrops and contests to help drive more awareness of the token and its unique properties.

Okay get to the point... Wen PRIZES?!
Okay degen, settle down. We're at the pointy end now.
We're running a contest to celebrate $CWIF, the token2022 standard, memecoins on Solana and just generally cats with hats.
How to enter
There are two ways to enter
- Make a $CWIF meme, post on Twitter AND post the link in the comments below
- Write an article, share on Twitter AND post in the comments below
- All linked Twitter posts MUST INCLUDE the following to be eligible:
- These hashtags & mentions: @defi1crypto2 @catwifhatsolana @bulbappio $CWIF #token2022 #solana
- Either your BULB username (e.g. mine is andrewsaul) and/or a link to your BULB $CWIF article.
What should you meme/write about?
Your meme/article should capture a key element of the $CWIF project. That can be a number of things. e.g.,

- cats with hats
- a key point in the short history of $CWIF
- cats with hats who like fire
- a fictional story/poem/sonnet about cats with hats or $CWIF
Above all: Make it fun!
Memecoins are as much about the culture as the technical details. Maybe even more so.
See my first comment on this post as an example of a valid entry.

Looking to future contests
Unfortunately, not all entries qualified as they didnβt meet the minimum requirements. So if your entry wasnβt picked it may have been ineligible. For future contests please make sure youβve read and fulfilled all the requirements.
Itβs very important we can show BULB is a protocol that has real users who are going to prove valuable to projects. Entry requirements are a good way of doing this.
All crypto projects are very aware of bot farms and sweatshop operations that target incentive schemes, and they want to avoid wasting their resources on these bad actors.
