Solana ecosystem meme MEW collaborates with LOCUS animation studio to launch 3D animation series

LOCUS is a studio producing 3D animations and TV series for the Korean market. With approximately $17.5 million raised in pre-IPO funding last year, LOCUS plans to IPO early next year and will be eyeing international expansion.

MEW aims to become the most exposed and widely known memecoin among global audiences. By partnering with 3D animations created by LOCUS, MEW will also begin to attract the attention of movie and TV audiences.

About MEW:

MEW "Cat in a dogs world" is a memecoin on Solana and the leading cat memecoin. When MEW launched in March 2024, it quickly gained traction by airdropping tokens to BONK and WIF holders, as well as Solana Saga 2 mobile users. As the first cat token to surpass $900 million in market cap, MEW quickly became a favorite among memecoin traders, ushering in a new era for “cat coins”, a space previously dominated by dog-themed tokens. MEW currently has approximately 200,000 holders, with an expected 2 million holders by the end of the year.

As a memecoin, MEW has established itself in mainstream culture through digital media. Combining internet memes and pop culture, MEW has gradually gained attention by launching new artwork, apparel, and entertainment products based on its character intellectual property.

About LOCUS:

LOCUS has created well-known IPs that are popular in South Korea, such as “Red Shoes” and “Yumi’s Cells”, and their film works have been released in 128 countries around the world. The partnership with MEW is an extension of LOCUS’ expertise in creating cute characters with cultural significance. This new collaboration brings MEW’s culture to the masses, combining top-tier animation production with the power of Solana’s grassroots community.

“We have accumulated rich expertise in story creation and animation production, and LOCUS aims to quickly expand into brand content production and intellectual property digital asset business. The cooperation with MEW marks a new journey for LOCUS to enter the Web3 market, providing great potential for future business opportunities.” - Leo Kangsan Kim, head of LOCUS’s digital transformation business unit.
