Non-Playable Coin (NPC) is a memecoin and NFT-hybrid
It is the next evolution of meme coins. Each NPC token is backed by an NFT of the viral NPC meme.
Their motto is “I support the current coin” – a tribute to the meme that became popular in 2018.
Inspired by the non-playable character meme, NPC leans into the joke by creating an ERC20 token whose supply is the total human population as recorded on July 26, 2023.
Every token is also convertible into an NFT at a rate of 1:1.
So, it’ is’s a coin with JPEG metadata designed to be traded both on dexes like Uniswap (as an ERC20) and on NFT marketplaces (as an ERC1155).
This unique design—an NFT that can also be traded as an ERC20—is called a meme fungible token (MFT).
An MFT like Non-Playable Coin (NPC) links two often-separated liquidity markets, while also allowing more people than ever to own a “part of the culture” as NFTs.
On the home page, users can switch between the two formats using the dApp. Users can “respawn” as an NFT or “transform” into a meme coin. The most liquid form for trading, however, is as an ERC20.
The project started by playing with NFT AMMs like Sudoswap and realising that ERC1155s were not being used to explore new avenues. They also felt that the 10k+ pfp NFT collection had hit a wall because it is limited both by exclusivity and gas cost.
The project wants to show that it’s possible to scale communities to millions, using the ERC1155 standard, and that it’ is’s possible to unlock liquidity for such tokens by making them fungible as an ERC20.
Holders will soon be able to accessorise their NPCs using a built-in customisation tool and export them to be used as profile photos.
Additionally, they are building new infrastructure to better link the liquidity of ERC20 tokens with ERC1155 tokens, with NPC as the main showcase.
