Meme Asylum is a community-led memecoin launchpad built on Base chain. The project centres around ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy), a deflationary utility token that powers the entire ecosystem.
The inmates are running the institution. Meme Asylum is not controlled by a central team — it is governed by the community through a burn-to-vote mechanism that determines which meme tokens get launched.
This whitepaper outlines the core mechanics, tokenomics, and vision behind Meme Asylum.
ECT is the core utility token of the Meme Asylum ecosystem. It is used to vote on which meme tokens get launched, and it is burned in the process — making it deflationary by design.

ECT was launched via a fair presale with the following allocation structure:
Fair launch via GemPad on Base chain
Locked liquidity paired with ETH
Distributed to participants in minting cycles
Vested allocation for ongoing development
Community growth and partnerships
Meme Asylum operates on a recurring 28-day cycle, divided into two phases:
Community members burn ECT to vote on which meme tokens should be launched next. The more ECT burned, the stronger the vote. Token proposals are submitted by the community, and the top-voted tokens advance to minting.
Winning tokens are minted and distributed. Voters who burned ECT receive meme tokens proportional to their burn amount, plus multiplier bonuses based on their commitment level.
ECT burned during voting is permanently removed from circulation, creating constant deflationary pressure. The more ECT burned, the higher the multiplier reward:
Tier 1
2.1x
Tier 2
3.0x
Tier 3
4.2x
Tier 4
5.4x
Multipliers determine how many meme tokens you receive relative to your burned ECT. Higher tiers require larger burns but yield significantly greater rewards.
One of the unique features of Meme Asylum is the reverse-burn mechanism. Meme token holders can burn their meme tokens to receive ECT in return, at a rate of up to 32x.
This creates a two-way deflationary loop:
Both directions reduce total supply, creating sustained deflationary pressure across the entire ecosystem.
Patient tokens are the meme coins launched through the Meme Asylum voting system. Current active patient tokens include:
Dog In Padded Room
First patient token launched through the asylum
Trust the Plan Coin
Community-voted meme token with growing adoption
Baron Harkonnen J. Trump
Political satire meme token with high engagement
New patient tokens are launched every 28-day cycle based on community votes. All patient tokens are ERC-20 tokens on Base chain.
The Meme Asylum NFT collection features unique character art including The Ripper, The Orderly, Nurse Ginger, and Nurse Luna. These NFTs are an integral part of the upcoming Meme Asylum Web3 game.
NFT holders will receive in-game benefits, exclusive access to governance features, and enhanced multiplier rewards during voting cycles.
