The crypto market has produced several widely discussed meme-themed projects, from Dogecoin to Shiba Inu. In 2025, some online discussion has also focused on Layer Brett ($LBRETT), which describes itself as a meme-themed, utility-focused Ethereum Layer 2 project and has been marketed through an ongoing token sale.
According to project materials, $LBRETT has been marketed at $0.0058 and the token sale has been reported by the project as raising more than $3.7 million. Such figures are project-reported and do not indicate future performance.
Dogecoin: The original meme coin and its supply model
Launched in 2013 as a joke, Dogecoin grew into one of the better-known cryptocurrencies. Unlike some assets with hard caps, Dogecoin does not have a fixed maximum supply. More than 150 billion DOGE have been issued historically, and additional coins are added each year. Supporters argue that an ongoing issuance schedule can help keep transaction costs low, while critics note that continued issuance may affect long-term scarcity.
Shiba Inu: Burns, supply size, and ongoing development
Shiba Inu, launched in 2020 and often marketed as a “Dogecoin Killer,” introduced token-burning mechanisms aimed at reducing supply. The project drew attention when Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin burned a large allocation of SHIB in 2021. Shiba Inu has also promoted its Shibarium network and related supply-reduction features. Despite burns, supply remains large, which can influence how market participants think about per-token pricing and potential volatility.
Layer Brett: Claims around an Ethereum Layer 2 approach
Layer Brett is promoted as an Ethereum Layer 2 network. According to the project, it aims to process transactions off-chain in order to reduce fees and improve throughput, while relying on Ethereum for settlement and security assumptions. These are design goals described by the team and should be evaluated against technical documentation and independent sources.
Project materials have also referenced items such as staking incentives, a fixed 10 billion token supply, and planned features including gamified staking and NFT-related integrations. Any reward rates or future product functionality are subject to change and depend on execution, market conditions, and protocol parameters.
Final word: Comparing narratives versus verifiable fundamentals
Dogecoin and Shiba Inu remain established meme-themed projects with large communities, while newer projects such as Layer Brett are being promoted with different technical and tokenomics narratives. Readers should distinguish between marketing claims, community sentiment, and information that can be independently verified, and should consider the elevated risks that can accompany early-stage token sales.
