before the memes,
there was QUACK.

In 1996, a kid named Matt Furie picked up a crayon and drew a duck.

That duck was QUACK, the very first character he ever invented. Years later he'd draw a frog named Pepe, sparking the entire meme economy. But before all of that, before the lawsuits, the sales, the museums, there was just a yellow guy in a blue floppy hat standing there, vibing.

$QUACK isn't a "meme of a meme." It's the source code. The genesis. The proto-Pepe, recovered from the original sketchbook and minted as community-owned culture on Solana.

The duck came first. The duck always comes first.
