What is WOJAK? It is a cryptocurrency project that offers users the opportunity to explore the world of memes, including buying and selling them through a decentralized network. It was inspired by the iconic Internet meme of the same name in the form of a drawing of a sad man’s face.
Why has the exchange rate risen? From a historical low of $0,00004902 recorded on April 21, the price of WOJAK has risen by more than 2000%. The surge in the value of the meme token came after the project’s team announced on Twitter on May 1 the release of a second collection of non-fungible tokens for the community.
