SINGAPORE, May 6, 2025 – LBank, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, successfully hosted 1001 Crypto Nights during TOKEN2049 Dubai, an event hailed by the Wall Street Journal as a “Very Wild Crypto Party” Held at the stunning Bohemia Beach Club, the celebration attracted thousands of crypto enthusiasts, builders, and influencers from around the world, delivering an immersive, high-energy experience that set a new benchmark for blockchain-powered festivals.
Festival That Moved the Masses
Over 100 million online impressions — but the real story was on the ground. Nicky Romero had the crowd jumping, and when the 400 drones took to the sky over Palm Jumeirah, jaws dropped. It was Web3, but larger than life — a glimpse of future festivals in this space.
The event, co-organized by Google Cloud and Gaia Information Technology and co-hosted by LBank, MemeCore, and Shiba Inu, 1001 Crypto Nights, wasn’t just an afterparty—it was a declaration of how Web3 is reshaping cultural experiences. Combining the spirit of decentralized networks with the creativity of meme culture and live entertainment, the event turned into a living, breathing celebration of the Web3 ethos.
Step onto the beach, and it felt like stepping into a storybook — Aladdin vibes, velvet drapes, golden lamps, and all. Between fortune-tellers predicting token prices and sketch artists capturing crypto punks on paper, the night blended fantasy and fandom in the most unexpected ways. You didn’t just watch Web3 happen — you played your part in it.
A playful twist added to the night was the Chips System — part game, part scavenger hunt. Guests were trading jokes and tokens, racing to complete quests on-chain and off. Then at 10:30 PM, everything paused. Hundreds of drones lit up the night with shimmering animations — “1001 Crypto Nights,” “MRMEKING,” and even Aladdin’s lamp danced across the sky. Phones were out, but for once, people were watching with their eyes first.
Strategic Partners and Ecosystem Support
The event’s success hinged on the strong support of its strategic partners, who brought together the best of infrastructure, community, and innovation. Core contributors included AWS, Cloudwise, Akamai, Interlace, Nerochain, DecentDAO, AveaiGlobal, Brc20Omega, and HF_Realx — all of whom played a vital role in shaping the night.
Major players like Avalanche, KaspaCurrency, Polkadot, and Polygon didn’t just sponsor — they showed up with real presence, demonstrating their dedication to making Web3 more connected, approachable, and open to new participants. By joining forces at this cultural moment, these leading protocols helped bridge communities and platforms, making it easier for newcomers to discover the diverse layers of the blockchain world. Technical contributors like SonicLabs also played a vital role behind the scenes, helping to ensure the event ran smoothly and securely.
Together, these partners reflected the power of collaboration, proving that when the ecosystem comes together, it creates something greater than the sum of its parts.
Meme Culture in Motion: The Heart of the Celebration
The heart of 1001 Crypto Nights pulsed with the energy of the meme community. Thanks to a diverse group of co-organizers deeply embedded in Web3 culture, the event radiated humor, creativity, and community spirit. These meme-forward projects didn’t just show up — they made their presence felt through interactive activations, surprise airdrops, and whimsical branding that had guests laughing, sharing, and snapping photos all night long.
From the irreverent charm of WIF and babydoge to the cult appeal of Dogelon Mars, Turbo, and DOGS, each brought its twist on what it means to blend internet culture with crypto. Others like SUNDOG, Ponke, Apus, Mr.Miggles, and Neiro added to the eclectic mix, turning the venue into a living meme playground.
Even more niche communities—wojak, KIKIcat, KOKO, QUACK, Slerf, TRUMP, and PIT—helped build an environment where everyone could explore the absurd, viral, and unexpectedly insightful side of blockchain.
Whether you were a longtime holder or just meme-curious, these projects made sure everyone felt part of the joke — and the movement.
Event Facilitators and Grassroots Coordination
Behind the scenes, several community-driven organizations played a vital role in bringing 1001 Crypto Nights to life. Groups like memexfestival, RaveDAO, 852web3, and Chaincity brought their expertise and energy, whether it was helping with logistics, tech support, or spreading the word. Their on-the-ground efforts ensured the experience ran smoothly and reached the right audiences, proving how grassroots coordination fuels Web3 culture.
The story of 1001 Crypto Nights didn’t end at the beach — it traveled across timelines, group chats, and global headlines thanks to an incredible lineup of media partners. Outlets like Bitcoin.com News, U.Today, BeInCrypto, CoinGape, TokenPost, Crypto.news, Droom Droom, Foresight News, ODaily, MetaEra, and TechFlame helped amplify the event to millions of readers worldwide. Their coverage ensured that even those who couldn’t attend got a front-row seat to one of the most talked-about events of TOKEN2049.
Beyond their role at 1001 Crypto Nights, MemeCore recently made waves in the crypto community by taking second place in the official $TRUMP token leaderboard — a ranking tied to an exclusive event dubbed “Dinner with Trump.” The top 25 holders will receive additional perks, including a VIP reception and a private tour with Trump himself.
