Memeland Captainz just showed their new art. I sat through the full townhall so you don't have to.
Short version: they're turning 9,999 pirate PFPs into a 60,000-card TCG collection. Every single card is hand-drawn, anime quality. And they're launching on Memeday, June 9.
1/ Six races. Each race gets its own characters.
- Humans have 6 base characters, 3 male and 3 female.
- Kraken, Shark, Kaiju, Alien get 2 each.
- Kong gets 1 male (Sun Wukong inspired, staff and all).
- Every character has 7 variants.
- The total pool is 60,000 unique cards.
2/ Now the mechanism.
Your NFT is now a pack. Today the metadata swapped. If you already revealed your race, you see a race-specific pack. Humans get human cards, Kongs get Kong cards. If you never revealed, you get a mystery pack (black, question mark).
Ripping is free. You pull 1 card from the 60,000 pool. 9 rarity tiers from base (white border, no effects) up to SSR.
3/ SSR is where potions come in.
300 SSRs exist in the entire 60,000 pool. 3 of those are absolute one-of-ones. SSRs are only accessible through potions. No potion, no chance at SSR.
There are 3,700 potions spread across about 120 wallets. You can mix up to 3 potions per draw. Different combos (red+blue, red+blue+clear) give different boost profiles. And starting now, potions become transferable.
A secondary potion market is about to form. If you hold potions, you're holding the only key to the rarest 0.5% of the collection.
4/ Card design
Border-based rarity like sports TCGs. Base cards have white borders with glare effects. Higher tiers get foils, special borders, character art that pops out of the card frame. Pokémon holographics meets anime illustration.
The 1/1s are poster-style pieces. Every character in the Captainz universe on one card. Pokémon-inspired layout. 3 exist in 60,000.
5/ Launch date is almost certainly June 9. Memeday. The team said "we like the number 9" and "busy June." They've updated the website, added a new Story tab with full lore, and the metadata is already live.
I've been holding through the ugly art era. This is the pivot. The art is the best I've seen from any NFT project in 2026. And the TCG layer gives collectors something to actually do with their NFTs beyond hold and hope.
The product is ready. Now it needs the market to pay attention.
- Memeland NFTs have officially swapped their metadata - full prep mode activated for the massive new ART reveal and the brand-new Cards System dropping in the coming days.
- The Memeland website is also getting a major update today.
- Memeland officials confirmed everything is ready for the reveal - they’re just waiting for the perfect launch date. BUSY JUNE?
Good world building deserves more than a tweet thread.
We're updating the Memeland site to hold the Captainz universe, the lore, the factions and the history.
A place where it all lives.

My team and I started 9GAG in 2008 as bored degen uni students.
Just a side project for the lols, no big plans, just a love for memes.
We kept our day jobs for years.
Fast forward to today: 200M+ people share memes on 9GAG every month.
Now the next chapter is here.
Making @Memeland one of the strongest Web3 companies to ever exist.
I'll be the first to admit that it hasn't been easy sailing BUT like any new frontier, success is accompanied by lessons that are learned along the way.
With that being said, our team is stronger than ever, and the core believers behind Memeland have remained united, even through the harshest conditions.
Memeland is here to stay.
Planted.
