$DUCK is inspired by DUCK, a character that appears across multiple artworks by Jason Furie. While not as widely known as some of the other characters from the Furie universe, DUCK has shown up repeatedly in Jason’s illustrations and carries the same surreal, expressive style that made his art recognizable online.
Over time, certain characters from internet art have taken on lives of their own through organic online culture. In a similar way that Matt Furie’s character Pepe the Frog became closely associated with Ethereum, $DUCK explores the idea of DUCK existing as a Solana-native meme asset.
$DUCK has no affiliation, endorsement, or official connection with Jason Furie or Matt Furie yet, but strong attempts are being made to onboard the artist and direct creator fees towards them. It is a meme token created independently, inspired by internet art culture and the natural evolution of recognizable characters in digital spaces and is aimed to attain widespread adoption.
