Popping Monke Meme Revived on-Chain as Popke Surfaces
The origins of popke (POPKE) are rooted in internet culture. According to CTO VIA VAULT, who goes by DEXVAULT, a community came together to revive the popping monke meme after its original dev farmed it and brought it back on-chain. In an old video that surfaced online, 'reject humanity, return to monke,' dated over 5 years ago, a monkey is seen literally 'popping.' This discovery has never been explored before and coincides with the current 'monkey meta' in the crypto space.
The video, which gained significant attention with over 16.5M views, features the now-iconic popping monkey image at 0:23. Interestingly, this pre-dates the rise of Popcat, a meme that also originated from the internet. The revival of popke aligns perfectly with the current 'monkey trend,' making it an interesting development in the crypto market.
