Not just an NFT collection. A movement.

What is The Memes?

The Memes by 6529 is a digital insurgency — an array of meme-themed ERC-1155 NFTs minted on a standalone Manifold contract, with the art preserved in the globally distributed vault of Arweave.

The collection is more than art. It’s a long-term effort to spread awareness and ownership of the open metaverse: a digital existence that runs on public protocols, not corporate servers.

Why does it matter?

Every meme is CC0. When it’s minted, it’s released into the public domain — free to use, remix, and share. Permission granted: you don’t need to ask.

The Prememe Museum

The full archive of prememes.

For several seasons of The Memes, we made a prememe for each artist before their card minted — an introduction to their style and a glimpse of what was to come. The practice has wound down. What remains is an archive: an exhibition of every prememe ever made, all in one place.
