$COK, also known as CatOwnKimono, is an innovative and memeable cryptocurrency project on the Solana blockchain, created by the same developer behind the legendary $WIF token. Embracing strong community vibes, $COK has quickly garnered attention and support within the Solana ecosystem. The project's unique narrative, coupled with its vibrant and dedicated community, ensures that $COK remains a trending topic in the crypto space.
Initially launched as Cok the Cat in November 2023, $COK leveraged videos and art from the popular YouTube animation show Noodles & Bun. However, to bring originality to the project and avoid intellectual property issues, the CTO team decided a rebranding was necessary. In late May 2024, following a successful CTO earlier that month, the project was rebranded to CatOwnKimono. This new identity embraced the cat's heritage, reflecting its origins from the same developer as $WIF. By adopting the kimono, $COK established a unique narrative and symbol, distinguishing itself in the market while preserving its connection to $WIF. While the rebranding was executed successfully and received with much praise and attention, the logo (in wallet) and name remains connected to Cok the Cat, as the COK deployer wallet (required to make such changes) got lost in the time passed.
$COK boasts a 100% community-owned structure with no team holdings. Each member of the 60+ strong team purchased their own share of $COK, demonstrating their commitment and belief in the project. The team, led by Jack (@OhmyjackEth), discovered $COK's potential and rallied their network to breathe new life into the token, leveraging their extensive experience and expertise. In early June 2024, the $WIF deployer wallet purchased $COK, solidifying the connection between these two prominent projects. The rebranding from Cok the Cat to CatOwnKimono marked a significant milestone, aligning $COK's identity with its heritage and boosting its market presence.
Recognized as the original cat token on the Solana blockchain, $COK thrives on the collective spirit and support of its community. With its contagious ticker and memeable nature, $COK captures the imagination and interest of the crypto community. As an OG token in the Solana ecosystem, $COK is poised to continue its upward trend, driven by its unique story and the unwavering support of its holders. Join us in the $COK journey and be part of a project that stays hard and keeps the kimono on.
