Excitement surrounding superconductors has captured the imagination of the scientific community—and its adjacent crypto-linked decentralized science movement—with the discovery of a substance named LK-99. Unsurprisingly, as with other massively hyped topics, a number of meme coins have popped up to capitalize on the frenzy.

LK-99 is the name of a material that’s reported to exhibit superconductivity at temperatures up to 400K (127°C), developed by a group of South Korean scientists last month. While other scientists are attempting to recreate the reported results and skeptics are waiting to see more, it could be a huge deal for humanity. The purported advancement could usher in a new era of technological innovation—revolutionizing battery storage, pushing forward fusion power, and enabling quantum computers at scale.

The details may not be that important to a degen, however. The community that recently became enthralled by on-chain hamster races has now spawned several LK-99-themed tokens trading on decentralized exchanges.

As the gravity of LK-99’s potentially world-shaping impact set in, someone undoubtedly raced to a nearby computer to deploy a meme coin under a similar name. In fact, at least a couple of people did.
