Do you remember those days? Before ChatGPT and Grok emerged, we used Wikipedia to get information. Interestingly, Wikipedia actually has an unofficial mascot—a cartoon character named Wikipe-tan. What's quite fascinating is that this character eventually even spawned its own crypto asset, the Wikipe-tan token. From a knowledge base mascot to a Web3 project, that's quite a leap.

Wow, this gap is really huge. From Wiki to the crypto world, it seems like everything can be tokenized.

Haha, Wikipe-tan can actually be tokenized too. Web3 really dares to do everything.

Haha, wikipe-tan can also have a coin? That's a really wild idea. --- Wait, jumping straight from the Wikipedia mascot to a token? How creative can you get? --- No, these days everything can be tokenized. Is the next step giving Google Doodle a token? --- If I had known wikipe-tan could make money, I would have contributed to the community back then. --- Honestly, I always feel something's off when I see this kind of operation... but it does feel very Web3. --- I just want to ask, is this token still alive, or has it already become a joke of the past? --- From a secondary character mascot to a crypto asset, this evolution really redefines the concept.

Really, Wikipe-tan also has a coin? I heard about it three years ago but didn't pay much attention. Now it seems to be really the case.

Haha, Wikipedia's mascot can even have its own coin. Web3 really dares to do everything.
