A community almanac on Solana
A poem became a cat, the cat became a standard.
Wen began as a love letter written by Meow of Jupiter. It was split into a trillion pieces, sent to a million wallets and grew into WNS — an open way to build NFTs. This is its story, kept as history and usefulness, never as a price.

Three questions, three facts
Pick an answer. Right or wrong, you get the checked fact and the page it comes from.
What was Wen before it was a token?
Meow, co-founder of Jupiter, wrote “A Love Letter to Wen Bros”. It was minted as an NFT and split into one trillion tokens. Read the full story
How many wallets received the January 2024 airdrop?
WEN went to more than one million Solana wallets — and the network stayed up. It was Jupiter's first launchpad test. Read the full story
What makes the real WEN impossible to fake?
Names and pictures can be copied. The mint WENWENvqqNya429ubCdR81ZmD69brwQaaBYY6p3LCpk cannot. Read the full story
There are 250 more in the Wen quiz.
Why this matters: the usefulness story
Everything commercial burns out; what lasts is what a token taught and built. For Wen that is three things you can check today: a launch that stress-tested Solana with more than a million wallets, a poem turned into a fractional NFT, and the Wen New Standard (WNS) — an open way to build NFTs on Token-2022. Wen Open Lab turns that standard into free, tested models: receipts and warranty cards, creator royalties, B2B invoices and a payments bridge. That is the story the almanac keeps.
What you will not find here
No prices, no forecasts, no exchange promotions and no “next 100x”. Those age in days. The almanac records what happened, how the technology works and how to check it yourself.
