Blogpost #3: 2025 Recap and the Year Ahead
Celebrating our achievements and what's coming in 2026.

Support for the current coin only grows stronger.

For NPCs everywhere, 2025 was a monumental year. The current coin has made great strides in monopolizing the meme. The plan was always to let the NPC hivemind take over every nook and cranny of the internet. When you think of the NPC meme, we want you to think of Non-Playable Coin.

In 2026, we're going full-throttle. However, it would be nice to first remind everyone what the NPC community accomplished in 2025.

Exchange Listings

NPC is more liquid and accessible than ever.

In 2025, NPC listed on a variety of exchanges:

  • Swissborg
  • OKX Dex
  • Kraken
  • HTX
  • Swapper Finance (trade NPC with any Visa card)

We were also one of the first tokens to be on Coinbase's "Everything App" on Base. You can easily trade NPC onchain in the official Coinbase Wallet.

Monopolizing the NPC Meme

To ensure the NPC takeover happens, Non-Playable Coin needs to be present on all major platforms.

We are proud to have acquired @npc on GIPHY, Tenor, YouTube, Pinterest, and Bluesky in 2025.

With these acquisitions, the community essentially owns @npc on ALL major social media websites including the prize domain itself — npc.com.

Always Building

Non-Playable Coin is more than just a memecoin. We're also on the cutting edge in applying new tech to the memecoin space. NPC is the first-ever memecoin-NFT hybrid. We've made great progress in 2025 pushing the space forward and there's so much more to come in 2026.

  • Adopted Chainlink's CCT standard through an official partnership with Chainlink
  • Integrated with Zetachain to allow you to do atomic swaps between NPC↔BTC
  • Partnered with AVA Labs to allow for 3D NPC avatars you can animate
  • Integration with RealGo's popular web3 game with NPC characters and bosses
  • Building AI agents through partnerships with ALPHAKEK and Build Vertical

Yet, the MOST IMPORTANT release of this year was the launch of 3D avatars in our customization app (npc.com/app). This lets you choose from dozens of traits to create your own NPC character and export it. All open source. Perfect for the metaverse.

Sick Clothes

2025 was also a big year for our sister brand, Non-Playable Clothing. We've launched multiple colorways of NPC-themed clothing for hoodies, hats, and shirts with professional models cast to wear them.

We expect many more fresh drops in 2026.

The Year Ahead

Every NPC can rest easy knowing that things aren't slowing down in 2026 whatsoever. In fact, they're heating up.

We have two big launches on the horizon which were already shared to the community.

Launchly.com — our premier launchpad to let anyone create their own mediacoin. Upload an image, video, song, or any piece of media and deploy it as a token in minutes.

Non-Predictable Characters – Built with AlphaKEK, your custom NPC creations will have personalities that bet on imaginary leagues. Design your NPCs and let them compete in a fun pvp environment.

And So. Much. More.

2026 is going to be even bigger than 2025 for all NPCs worldwide.

Keep supporting the current coin.
