Dogwifhat Drama: Ethereum NFT Auction Sparks Controversy with Solana Community
A dispute has emerged within the colorful world of meme coins, pitting the Solana community against the owners of the real-life Shiba Inu that inspired the explosive Dogwifhat (WIF) meme coin.
The controversy revolves around the auction of an Ethereum NFT featuring the iconic photo of Achi , the dog who became the face of the popular Dogwifhat meme.
The saga began when a South Korean Instagram user, claiming to be the owner of Achi, announced their intention to auction an NFT of the original photo that sparked the viral meme.
The user, who had consistently posted pictures of Achi wearing various woven outfits over the past five years, revealed their plans to celebrate the dog’s fame.
The NFT auction, hosted on the Ethereum NFT platform Foundation, is set to conclude on Monday, with the current bid standing at a staggering 50 ETH, equivalent to over $182,000.
However, the choice to partner with Feisty DAO, an online community experienced in acquiring and fractionalizing Shiba Inu-related NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain, sparked a wave of discontent among members of the WIF community and other Solana users.
Many expressed their disappointment that Achi’s parents didn’t collaborate with the WIF team on Solana for the NFT drop.
