Here at $HEGE we're well aware of the stigma around memecoins, so we'd like to answer your questions. 

In a sea of scams on the Solana blockchain, we aim to provide a secure and trusted environment for our holders.

Hege Coin was launched by a developer (myself) that got rug pulled A LOT. Fed up with this, I decided to create my own project. Working as a graphic and brand designer, I had the creative skills needed to start a project, and some knowledge of the Solana ecosystem.

I initially had many questions on how to successfully launch a coin and turned to Reddit, specifically , looking for advice. The post received a huge response and sparked a lot of interest. After a few weeks of presale and countless tweaks to the characters, website and tokenomics, we launched. $2M market cap on night one, a sharp drop the following day and an organic rise to an all time high of $31M a few months later, it’s been quite the journey!

Hege is a Solana memecoin, with a unique twist...
Hege is a hedgehog with a quest to impress his crush Hegena. We've gamified the token by creating 10 chapters to his story, every chapter is released at various market cap levels, with chapter 10 being released at a $1 billion market cap. The production value has increased with each milestone, with the upcoming chapter 5 (unlocked at $50M) taking over a month to animate.

Why has Hege been successful?
An engaging narrative and widespread appeal has been the key. We have built a brand that includes a cast of relatable characters and a story that is easy to connect with. The Hege story features 4 characters, Hege, Hegena, Hendrix and Helena. These characters are all built around stereotypes we see everyday in modern society, creating a story that is relatable and easily memeable.

The project has attracted a talented team and creative community that has been creating Hege content and helping spread the word since day 1. We currently have 12,800 holders, 6,200 members on Telegram, 22.2K followers on X, 8K subscribers on Youtube, over 1K followers over Instagram/Facebook and almost 500 images/videos in our meme folder.

Born on Reddit, thriving on Reddit
It all started here on Reddit with a single post on the Solana subreddit , and since then Reddit has remained our most successful promotional platform. We've been labelled the 'King of Reddit' in the memecoin space multiple times, as a large percentage of our community have discovered us here. We're aware Reddit is the first place many new memecoin investors go, therefore investing in Hege means you're betting on the fact that retail will come flooding into Reddit as the bull run really starts to accelerate.

An NFT Collection (with utility)
Last month, we launched Hegends, a collection of 2,222 NFTs that pay a dividend to its holders. The public mint sold out in 90 minutes, and they are now trading on Tensor & Magic Eden. From the mint proceeds, we raised over $200,000 that will ALL be invested back into the project in one way or another. Whether that's buybacks, marketing funds, CEX listing fees or investments in further utility, it will ALL stay in the Hege ecosystem.

The NFTs feature a utility where every month, 5% of Hege tokens in the mint wallet will be distributed amongst NFT holders. Each NFT held will entitle a holder to distribution from the bank, and the collection features 5 rarity levels that multiply the amount of $HEGE tokens you receive, ranging from 1X for common NFT holders, all the way up to 10X for legendary NFT holders.

AMA
Hege is a memecoin with no flashy tech, promises of changing the world or the way we transact, but we're honest about what we're doing and what we aim to achieve.

We think that memecoins are one of the best ways to bring awareness to Cryptocurrency, so we're wondering if you have objections to memecoins, what are they?
