# What is $WEN

<figure><img src="/files/zDo6edvyEFZR5HSyauKa" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

WEN is a memecoin within the [Stacks](https://www.stacks.co/) ecosystem, launched in a fair manner through a bonding curve mechanism. It features a cute cat character and develops on-chain tools to support both the Stacks community and its DeFi ecosystem.

Additionally, WEN aims to become more than just a memecoin, positioning itself as a cultural hub that drives active on-chain usage within the early-stage Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem and the Stacks community. WEN combines memes that foster community engagement with tools designed to promote on-chain usage.
