About Coresky

Coresky operates as a multifaceted Web3 platform, initially focusing on the non-fungible token (NFT) market and evolving to include meme coin incubation and trading. Founded in 2022 by Steven Wong, Kyu Jong Kim, a former Libra blockchain engineer, and Deawong, the company established its base in Mountain View, United States. The venture secured a total of $21 million in funding across two rounds: a $6 million seed round on March 7, 2023, led by PAYSON LEE PRIVATE FOUNDATION, and a subsequent $15 million Series A round on March 25, 2025, with participation from investors like Wagmi Ventures and CryptoRank.

The company's business model has shifted from its initial concept of a blue-chip NFT marketplace to a comprehensive meme incubation platform. It provides a full-stack infrastructure that supports the entire lifecycle of meme tokens, from creation and discovery to trading and governance. A key feature is its no-code interface, which allows users without technical expertise to deploy their own meme tokens. The platform's revenue is generated from market transaction fees and royalties from secondary market transactions within its ecosystem. Coresky serves a broad audience, including meme creators, crypto enthusiasts, and venture capitalists looking for emerging projects.

The platform's service revolves around a community-driven approach where users can propose meme projects, and the community votes on which ones to incubate and launch. This is facilitated through a gamified system involving "Meme Keys," "Diamond Points," and daily tasks to foster user engagement. Initially, Coresky introduced a unique business model centered around "Asset-packaged NFTs," where primary market investment rights for projects like LayerZero and Wormhole were minted into NFTs. These could be traded on Coresky's secondary market, offering investors liquidity and earlier exit opportunities. The platform also implemented a community membership system with "CoreCard" identities, which granted users access to rewards and participation in Launchpad events. While this NFT-centric model was its foundation, the company has since broadened its scope to become a primary hub for meme coin projects, aiming to democratize token creation and foster a transparent, community-led ecosystem.
