web4 brand value must read 👇
15 Jun 2025
The $REKT x @JupiterExchange Partnership, web4 & brand coins. Generally speaking when you are a project on Ethereum mainnet, the last thing you expect is to get a call from the largest platform on Solana…so what happened last week definitely was not on my bingo card. To recap, we: - bridged supply from Ethereum Mainnet to Solana - the launch partnered with both @JupiterExchange and @MeteoraAG - Jupiter taking a position in $REKT via open market purchases - set to launch a limited Jupiter edition of @RektDrinks The main question that you may be asking is why the fuck are we doing this? Well there are some quite obvious reasons…i.e. getting access to the Solana community, having a large player take a position in $REKT, cheaper/faster txs etc etc…I don’t really need to spell these things out because they are obvious to everyone. The thing that I think is actually a lot more interesting here is this idea of web4. @weremeow reached out to me and pointed me to his write-up on web4 (link in the next tweet) - would highly recommend reading it. Well it depends on what sort of person you are. If you’re here for financial nihilism and serial gambling on the next daily runner or w/e (I still respect it we’ve all been there) then maybe it’s not for you…BUT if you have seen glimpses of incredible potential with web3 and are perhaps slightly frustrated with the majority of the outcomes, then it certainly is a must read. What is web4? Well let’s look at all the definitions of “web”. Again, this is explained in meow’s write-up but I will explain how I understand it. Web1: Internet - like when you used to go on some random website to obtain information without being able to interact with it Web2: Social media - self explanatory at this stage…IG, FB etc Web3: Blockchains - basically everything we do in crypto…mainly the ability to own and control digital assets and identities on chain So what is web4? Meow describes it as “social monies”. Wtf does that mean? It is where communities can create, use and govern their own digital currencies. Wtf does that mean? Well think about what “money” means to the average person. It means fiat…right…money is like what you need to live so you can pay for shit with it like food, rent clothes etc. It’s a medium of exchange that is most commonly recognised as money. Now, if you’ve been in crypto for a while, you’ll know that there’s essentially a whole new world of “money” that exists. Even the most pointless and dead memecoins will have 7-figure market caps, which you can buy and sell in return for actual real “money”. Most normies can’t seem to comprehend this but it has existed for long enough that it’s not going away. So this new concept I am trying to re-enforce here, is that money is not just fiat…it’s not just cash in your bank account, or your dollar bills or your credit card etc. In today’s increasingly interoperable world, money certainly includes all of crypto including the shittest of shitcoins, but you just have to account for the liquidity factor. Right, so up until this point you’re probably still thinking I haven’t said anything new…which is fair…and you’re probably also thinking…what’s the difference between web3 and web4? Well lemme tell you my interpretation of it. Web3 focuses on enabling individuals to own digital assets via blockchain in a decentralised fashion, but primarily by replicating old financial paradigms. Web4 goes one step further by decentralising the creation of “money” itself. Wtf does that mean? It means essentially anyone can be empowered to go ahead and invest and govern their own currency, which can be used for literally anything; social coordination, identity, cults, memes, brands…tbh literally any form of expression. A boomer might tell you “well all this stuff is worthless” - but the key mistake they all make (I’m not sure why because it’s so obvious), is that the price of something is simply what someone is willing to pay for it, and the longer you can convince people that something has value, the more likely it is to retain its value (s/o to the OG Bitcoin which is literally case and point here). So if you’ve been following my tweets recently, you may now understand why this collaboration is one that is actually rather meaningful, given meow’s writings on web4 and my invention of the term “brand coin”. “Invention” is the key word here…I literally just fucking made up a term called “brand coin”. Can I just do that? Sure why the fuck not lol. My reasoning is that I think the idea of a memecoin is sometimes misconstrued; for me it’s actually a token that openly admits it has no utilities (or cashflows), and it does not necessarily have to reflect the common definition of a “meme”. However, I felt like with $REKT we got lost in the mud a bit with people saying “it’s not a meme!!”. And they’re right…we’re not really a meme, we’re a brand, the company is literally called Rekt Brands Inc. and as such we are a BRAND COIN. I spoke a bit about “money”. Here’s another example of how that definition can be extended, in the context of brands. Btw this imo is new-age experimental finance. You won’t learn this shit in an accounting class. Maybe one day they will teach it if it works out. If they do then hopefully they give me a shoutout or something. Anyway…so if you are a big company, you usually have something called “intangible assets” on your balance sheet. One item that falls into that is “goodwill”. This usually only appears after another business has been acquired, and represents the value paid above the fair market value of the acquired company’s net assets. The “extra” value reflects non-physical elements such as brand reputation, customer loyalty, employee talent etc etc…ie the “brand value”. Btw - just to reiterate - this is intangible, like sure people can work out some kind of a rough estimate but it’s largely subjective. Just to solidify its meaning; let’s say X buys Y for $100m, but Y’s net assets are valued at $75m, the $25m difference will be recorded on X’s balance sheet as its goodwill. OK if you’re smart at this point the cogs in your head will have turned and everything will have fallen into place. If it hasn’t then here we go. IMAGINE if there was a way to value and trade this mysterious intangible goodwill value…ie the “brand value”. Oh fuck! OK I’m gonna start using $REKT as an example here. $REKT itself does not own any of the IP to Rekt, nor does it directly benefit from any revenues; all of this sits at the Rekt Brands Inc entity which is a registered company in the US. $REKT is simply a token with zero intrinsic value that people buy and sell based on sentiment. What drives that sentiment? Well, it’s the activity and performance of Rekt Brands. How else can you define that sentiment? Well..you could say it’s BRAND LOYALTY. Fuck it you can just say it’s a proxy for the BRAND VALUE. “Hey OSF you can’t just do that”. Well guess what, I’m not the one doing it, the market is. Hundreds of thousands of people (and soon millions) can literally decide with their money if they want to buy or sell this thing and pretty much the only thing that governs that decision is their perception of how well the brand is doing. The reason why this is web4, and not just web3, is because this token has been created; ie MONEY has been CREATED. $REKT has a fully diluted market capitalisation of $160m. Where did that come from? It was literally just created, and now it EXISTS, and it is REAL money that people can buy and sell, and in my opinion it is a liquid, tradable forward of what a potential “goodwill” number would look like. THIS is new age finance, largely because I am literally making it up. BUT…it makes sense right? Tell me it doesn’t make sense? Even if you think it doesn’t make sense, at the very least it’s really fucking interesting and I believe it is a new way to look at and understand money in this web4 paradigm. My goal is to be a trailblazer in what we are doing and I think this is actually a really fucking exciting opportunity to create something that’s never been done before, and set a potential precedent for things to come. If you’re a new brand or a new company, it’s tough to compete with the big boys. However, by using these concepts, we’ve built a $160m brand in less than a year, and this is where things get very exciting and where we can start disrupting. Our partnership with Jupiter is deeper than just punting around a coin on Solana, it’s a share in a vision of a new paradigm, and I can’t put my hand on my heart and tell you specifically what this partnership will bring, but it actually feels very cool to meet someone else who independently shares the same vision, and my goal is to get more people on board, big people big money big investors etc. and we’re gonna make $REKT the figurehead of it all. We are working on the brand coin and web4 vision. Cheers and thanks for reading.

$REKT, the first ever "brand coin". Obviously I have been making a lot of noise about REKT over the past few days. One of the most common questions I have received is: WTF is $REKT and how does it relate to @RektBrands, @RektDrinks etc? I will do my best to offer my perspective of “why $REKT?”. Forewarning - this is a reasonably lengthy read and if you are completely new to REKT you will need to read the whole thing as the story is relevant. If you can’t be bothered to read it all that’s fine because our goal is primarily to attract those who see and believe in the longer-term vision. Background & Timeline Rektguy NFTs — We started with an experimental FREE mint of 8,814 NFTs in May 2022. Zero proceeds and zero roadmap. Community Growth — We formed an extremely strong community because: - We weren’t extractive and acted with genuine intent. - Everyone in crypto (and life) can relate to being "rekt". - It launched just before a brutal bear market, which made the theme extra relatable. From Meme to Brand — In summer 2023, we saw potential to scale “REKT” beyond NFTs. The logo (my handwriting) felt very brandable. We chose drinks as our physical product—mass marketable, and on-brand with Rektguy holding one. The drinks are simply flavoured sparkling water; zero alcohol, zero caffeine and less than 5g of sugar per can. The idea is you can drink something healthy while actually looking/feeling cool. Drink #1 — After some early 2024 hiccups, we manufactured 10k drinks for our IRL events. Feedback was unexpectedly great. We knew we had something special. Web3 Integration — We flipped the token model: instead of on-chain engagement, we rewarded off-chain actions (buying drinks). Unlike other consume-to-earn models, we had a die-hard community ready to engage. Equity Drop — In April 2024, we gave 10% of Rekt Brands Inc., the parent company that owns Rekt Drinks, to Rektguy NFT holders (5% claimed), using a Reg-CF-compliant structure. No promises were ever made around NFTs. This was about aligning community and company for real. First Big Launch — We manufactured 250k drinks, putting 222k up for sale in Oct 2024. The US supply sold out in 4 hours, global supply was gone in 44 hours across 32 countries. Our numbers beat major UK sparkling water brands for daily volume in major retailers. Even if short-lived, it proved a point: web3 can scale IRL. Capital Raise — In Nov 2024, we raised $1.5M via a SAFE from angels and friends—no VCs—to keep things community-first. People backed the vision (or just us) and believed in the chaos. $REKT Token — Also in Nov 2024, we launched @RektCoin as a no-vesting memecoin airdrop to NFT holders, social questers, drink buyers, and the team. 39.2% was held for future rewards. FDV peaked at $130M, then dipped to $13M by March 2025 in line with the market. Buyback — In April 2025, Rekt Brands Inc. bought $100k of $REKT at ~$20M FDV, believing it was undervalued using profits generated from the sale of Rekt Drinks. The flywheel had started. Drop #2 — May 2025: we launched 223k drinks with @AbstractChain. Buyers earned $REKT and Abstract XP. The entire supply sold out in just 40 minutes worldwide. Rekt Brands Inc purchased an additional $100k in $REKT at an FDV of approximately $60m, still believing the token was undervalued. This brings us to the present day, with the token sitting at an FDV of about $90m, with the $REKT airdrop from the Abstract collab having completed. WTF is a Brand Coin? While $REKT is a memecoin, if you have spent a lot of time in memecoins you will know that the term is actually rather broad. There are internet memes such as $PEPE, there are celebrity coins such as $TRUMP, there are culture coins such as $MOG, etc etc. These all fall into the category of a memecoin, and the common denominator for the most successful coins is that they are relatable and something a large group of people identify with. I feel BOTH of these points describe the feelings of our community to the concept of REKT. However, REKT is not a concept that fits into any of the former sub-categories. @RektBrands is a brand that encompasses a range of ideologies including aggressive risk taking, degeneracy and the ability to survive even when you’re down bad. @RektDrinks are the tangible engine to the brand, but like Red Bull or Monster Energy, REKT is more than just a drinks company, it’s a way of life. Now, let’s say you’re a fan of an upcoming brand (in any industry), you probably buy a lot of their products and express some loyalty to them, and are rooting for them to make it big. One day you will boast about how you “found them first”. However, beyond bragging rights, you have nothing to really show for your vision. Now, imagine that this brand had an official coin. The coin does not own any of the IP or technically benefit from any of the company’s revenues unless the company decided to buyback the coin like Rekt Brands has, however, it is an asset that appreciates in price due to speculation, attention and an improving sentiment for the company it references. It is not a security or a financial instrument, it has no inherent value, yet its price moves up as the company expands and gains success. Now as the brand succeeds, you can show off how early you were, how much you supported and believed in the vision. Additionally, as the brand succeeds and the brand coins price increases, not only did the brand and its shareholders win, you won too. The brand also has a mechanism to easily track who believed and followed them, who supported at every opportunity. This is, what I am officially classifying as a “brand coin”. A brand coin is a token for supporters of a brand; it’s for fans who may not have the opportunity or capital to invest in a private seed round, but should be rewarded for their loyalty and playing an instrumental part in a brand’s success. And this is exactly what $REKT is. Does $REKT own the Rekt IP? No. Does $REKT earn revenues from @RektDrinks sales? Not strictly. Does $REKT share company profits with its holders? No. However, if @RektBrands and @RektDrinks becomes a globally recognised brand, will $REKT appreciate in price? The answer is almost certainly yes, not to mention Rekt Brands Inc. has also been repurchasing $REKT from drinks revenues. Final Thoughts If you have made it this far then you are my target audience. If you are bored of punting around mindless memecoins of random animals and are looking for something with a real story, I think $REKT is extremely exciting. We are not the first “consume to earn” project, however, I do think we are onto something and the numbers speak for themselves. I believe this is a cool opportunity to buy into an underdog story, and I am certainly all in on everything REKT. It’s important to understand how much people truly resonate with the word REKT and our goal is to make it a global brand. I believe we are already the most recognised “REKT” project within crypto, and our recent purchase of rekt dot com will also put us in pole position outside of web3. @iliketabz and I generally try to practice modesty, but just this once we will confess that we set ourselves extremely high standards in life and have serially achieved them; REKT will be no different.

the eth core devs don’t tweet a lot about just how hard the work that they do is so let’s talk about it: 1. every line of code they merge can move more money than most banks process in a quarter. there is no staging server for that. 2. they swap consensus logic for a 400B dollar economy without scheduling downtime. ever. 3. they coordinate hundreds of researchers, auditors, and client teams across time zones, cultures, and philosophies, yet ship like a single mind. 4. they do it all in public, with every decision dissected by the loudest peanut gallery on the internet, and still keep the vibe collaborative. 5. they design for attackers who have nine figure incentives and infinite patience. then they sleep anyway. 6. they keep six independent clients in perfect sync so the same block lives at the same height for every node in the world. 7. they turn bleeding edge research into production code while preserving backwards compatibility for machines that went online before defi even had a name. 8. they debug issues that only happen once a year on a single archive node because someone somewhere will rely on that edge case. 9. they write cryptography that must stay unbroken for decades while the math itself evolves beneath their feet. 10.when the upgrade lands smooth the outside world shrugs. inside ethereum we know it was a minor miracle. every successful fork proves that decentralized coordination can outperform the world’s best hierarchies and shows that open internet capital markets are now the default. thank you, truly. we owe you everything.

The Many Faces of Ethereum: A Strength in Multiplicity The notion that Ethereum suffers from an "identity crisis" or lacks a strong narrative misses a fundamental point about its very nature and exploding potential. It isn't grappling for a singular definition; rather, Ethereum is blossoming into a multifaceted entity, a digital polymath whose strength lies precisely in its diverse applications and the varied perspectives it accommodates. To view this multiplicity or inability to pin it down into a particular definition corner as a weakness is akin to questioning the identity of the Internet itself. Just as the Internet serves as a platform for communication, commerce, creation, and countless other endeavors, Ethereum is evolving into a foundational layer that supports a spectrum of uses, each contributing to its overall value and robustness. Consider the Internet: ask ten individuals what it is, and you'll likely receive ten distinct answers. For one, it's a vital communication tool; for another, a marketplace; for a typical consumer, a social media firehouse; for a business user, a source of intelligence; for a developer, a platform for innovation; and for yet another, a source of entertainment. This lack of a singular, rigid definition hasn't hindered the Internet's growth; in fact, it has been the very engine of its pervasive influence and immense value. Ethereum is following a similar trajectory. It isn't confined to a single crypto narrative, be it a store of value, a discounted cash flow asset, or a mere medium of exchange. It embodies elements of all these and transcends them. If a user seeks a decentralized financial system, Ethereum offers the infrastructure for DeFi. If a developer envisions novel applications, Ethereum provides smart contract capabilities. If a community desires a transparent and secure platform for digital ownership, Ethereum delivers NFTs. If a financial executive wants to increase their operational efficiency, they can tokenize a myriad of real-world assets on Ethereum. If an association wants to experiment with new forms of governance, Ethereum has the framework for that. Ethereum is used by artists, bankers, business professionals, consumers, startups, nation-states, researchers, software developers, governments, meme coin creators, and protocol architects — all for different purposes, all valid. This versatility is not a bug; it's a core feature, a testament to its original design as a decentralized, programmable platform;- a "human-centric network", a revelation that dawned on me the day I met Vitalik Buterin in early January 2014. The beauty of Ethereum lies in its open-endedness. There's no need to force it into a pre-existing mold or contort its evolving functionalities to fit a simplistic narrative. Whether one views it as digital money, a crypto asset, a development platform, a decentralized financial network, a global settlement layer, a zero-knowledge proof platform, a governance framework, a trust layer for the Internet, or a new type of reserve currency, each perspective holds validity because Ethereum is actively becoming all of these things. From a quantitative perspective, increased usage in any of these domains ultimately contributes to the network's overall strength and value. Ethereum has a fast-growing GDP-equivalent measure due to its diverse economic contribution, and a strong balance sheet that spans the entire ecosystem it touches. Trying to pin Ethereum down to a neatly packaged narrative or trying to find “the” perfect elevator pitch is not only limiting but also ignores its inherent dynamism. It's a technology that resists easy categorization because its potential is still being actively discovered and built upon. Like the Internet, Ethereum's power lies in its ability to adapt, evolve, and serve a multitude of purposes. It is a multi-headed force, and in this multiplicity lies its true strength and enduring value. Ethereum is a living, adaptable protocol with many use cases and many meanings. It’s whatever you want it to be,- and that’s exactly the point. At its core, Ethereum is a meta technology because it affects other technologies, and it is made up of several technologies itself. It sits on top of the Internet and expands the Web’s potential with new modalities, not possible before. Let us embrace this multifaceted nature and recognize that Ethereum's many identities are not a source of confusion, but a testament to its revolutionary potential. Ethereum is both a ticker (ETH), a popular cryptocurrency, a valuable blockchain operations commodity, a powerful development platform, a secure global settlement layer, and a fertile ground for socio-technological and business innovation. Ethereum’s trust, capacity, and scalability are not a promise. They are a current fact. Ethereum cannot be compared to other blockchains that try to highlight a given technical feature turning it into a pissing contest. Ethereum will not roll in the mud with others, because it doesn’t need to. It aims for something higher and better. Uniquely, unequivocally, and universally, Ethereum is an omni-asset with unique properties.
