Art for the biodiversity market we actually want. Each piece carries a position on ecological integrity, community-led conservation, and what nature is actually worth. Collect, spread the message, join the fun.
Each theme carries a real position on how biodiversity markets should work. The arguments are serious. The delivery is not.
Large editions. Low prices. Thousands of wallets spreading the message about the true value of nature. That's the idea.
The spirit animal for the EcoMemes is Westie — a meme mutant based on the Western Ringtail Possum (Pseudocheirus occidentalis), a Critically Endangered arboreal, herbivorous marsupial endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.
Western Ringtail Possums have disappeared from more than 80% of their pre-European range and their distribution and population size is continuing to decline. Launching a Critically Endangered marsupial as the face of a digital art collection is the collision-as-method principle in action.
All EcoMemes are released at 0.033 ETH with 3.3% creator earnings on secondary sales — tied to the global commitment to protect 30% of the planet's land and sea by 2030. The numbers carry the message.
Edition sizes are generally large and inexpensive. The goal is reach, not scarcity. Ecocene reserves 10% of each edition to archive, display, donate, or sell in the future.
ERC-1155 editions minted on a standalone Manifold contract. Art stored on Arweave. Tight.
All EcoMemes are released under Creative Commons Zero — public domain. Use them, remix them, build on them however you like.
The EcoMemes are a lovingly crafted replica of The Memes by 6529. Their mission: accelerate an open metaverse and get 100,000,000 people to use an NFT. We're here to contribute. One of each edition is gifted to the 6529 Museum.
No discord. No utility token. No governance coin. Collect the EcoMemes because you believe in what they say.
All funds outside of artist royalties go towards building, promoting, and supporting the EcoEngine — making community-owned nature positive economies a thing.
Saving the environment is a serious topic. We reckon it can be serious fun too. Art, new frens, a good time along the way. The playfulness is not a coating on the serious content — it's how we reach people who would never read a report.
If you're an artist or organisation who'd like to create an EcoMeme, we'd love to hear from you. The best cards haven't been made yet.
