Guru Talks: Burning.Meme CEO on the Future of Memecoins and Community-Driven Launchpads
Burning.Meme CEO Artem joined Guru Talks to share how their AI-powered launchpad lets anyone create memecoins for free, with daily community voting, fair token distribution, and no technical barriers - making memecoin launches safer and more accessible.
The June 17, 2025 episode of Guru Talks featured Artem, CEO and founder of Burning.Meme, in a candid and insightful conversation about the rapidly evolving world of memecoins, the challenges of Web3, and how Burning.Meme is reshaping the creator economy with AI and community-first mechanics.
Burning.Meme: A New Approach to Memecoin Creation
Artem introduced Burning.Meme as “a memecoin launchpad built with AI,” explaining,
“We gamify this experience to make any creator able to launch their idea from scratch for free, using AI tools and actually launch all techy stuff in a few clicks”.
This vision sets Burning.Meme apart from traditional launchpads, where technical barriers and upfront costs often limit participation.
The Wild West of Memecoins: Challenges and Trends
Reflecting on the memecoin space, Artem described it as “kind of wild west, but it’s definitely a trend,” noting how even public figures have entered the scene: “We all see that even US president launched their memecoin”. He highlighted both the explosive creativity and the risks, including rampant automation and “rugpull” schemes, where early insiders dump tokens and leave the community with losses.
How Burning.Meme Solves for Fairness and Community
A core innovation Artem emphasized is the platform’s community-driven voting and fair token distribution. “If you have some idea or even if you don’t have any idea, you can just push a button and AI will generate some concept of your memecoin based on current trends,” he said. The platform then puts these ideas to a daily community vote, and “all memes which were submitted on this voting will be burned except one - only one meme becomes a memecoin in a day”.
This approach, Artem explained, ensures that “not a single token that is being launched is being owned by the same person—it’s a lot of different community members who own chunks of that meme of the day coin.” As a result,
“In this game there’s no losers - the main idea is just to get something valuable and launch something that actually passes this first sorting stage, and then reward the community and start this memecoin story with some initial traction”.
Lowering Barriers and Empowering Creators
Burning.Meme is designed to be accessible. “You can start using it for free, you can continue using it for free by completing some quests that we provide to help us grow,” Artem said. New users receive internal points (“burns”) for onboarding and can earn more through engagement, making it possible to participate without any upfront investment.
On legal boundaries, Artem was clear:
“You shouldn’t be able to generate some characters which are copyrighted by yourself, but as a meme creator you should think about it… the best way to do it is not break someone’s [intellectual property] rights”.
Automation, Utility, and the Future
Looking ahead, Artem shared ambitious plans for the platform: “We are working hard to deliver all this stuff—this gamified experience with services experience… I see it as a place where you don’t need - all you need is idea to make big things happen.” He also teased upcoming automation tools for creators, including apps for staking, user quests, and airdrops, all without the need for complex Web3 wallets or upfront technical knowledge.
The Guru Talks episode with Artem offered a transparent look at the memecoin phenomenon and showcased how Burning.Meme is using AI, gamification, and community mechanics to make memecoin creation safer, fairer, and more accessible.
For newcomers and veterans alike, Burning.Meme represents a new chapter in Web3 creativity—where ideas, not insiders, drive the next wave of digital culture.
