Haliey Welch, known as the internet’s favorite meme queen, is making her mark in the crypto world with the launch of her official memecoin, $HAWK. Designed to bridge mainstream audiences with cryptocurrency, $HAWK champions inclusivity, transparency, and community engagement, making it a standout in the rapidly evolving memecoin landscape.
$HAWK is scheduled to launch today, December 4, 2024, at 5 p.m. EST on the Solana blockchain, in partnership with overHere, a Web3 launchpad & platform dedicated to creating useful, accessible, community-driven blockchain projects.
“Who doesn’t love a good meme?” says Welch. “Becoming part of meme culture got me interested in the world of crypto, and I’ve learned so much along the way. Launching my own token feels like the perfect next step—not just to create something meaningful for my fans but also to protect my community from scammers.”
Welch’s rise to fame as the face of the Hawk Tuah meme has solidified her as a prominent figure in digital culture. Her active participation in meme creation and engagement with fans led her to explore new ways to give back to her community, ultimately inspiring the creation of $HAWK.
Underscoring her commitment to transparency and accessibility, Haliey Welch introduced an allowlist campaign from November 26 to December 2, distributing free $HAWK tokens to her social media followers and supporters within the meme and NFT communities. This initiative aimed to lower the barriers to entry for cryptocurrency newcomers, offering a safe and risk-free way to explore the blockchain space. Key highlights of $HAWK include free token distributions tailored for non-crypto fans, a focus on transparency and ethical practices by prioritizing true supporters over speculative traders, and a long-term commitment with Welch’s personal tokens locked for one year and a three-year vesting period to ensure sustainable growth. Adding to its innovative approach, $HAWK is supported by overHere in partnership with Camp Network, a modular Layer 2 blockchain, to identify and engage Welch’s fans through social media.
Welch’s manager, Jonnie Forster from The Penthouse, states, “Launching the $HAWK token creates a fun, secure and innovative way for Haliey to get even closer to her community. It not only empowers her fans but also eliminates the confusion posed by scammers who are constantly releasing unauthorized coins without approvals of her name and likeness.”
