How to win
Two ways in. Do one or both. No wallet to connect, nothing to buy, no follower minimum.
I make memes
- Make an original meme. Image, GIF or video. The Meme Lab is free.
- Post it on X from your own account.
- Paste the link of that post in Submit a meme, with your wallet.

I post on X
- Pick a meme from the ready-to-post set or the Vault, or use your own.
- Post it on X with $BUSTED in the text. No need to tag our account.
- Paste the link of that post in Bag Worker HQ, with your wallet.
- The team scores it. You appear on the Bag Workers board. Follow it under Check my entries.
The Meme Vault
Every meme here was made by the community and approved by the team. Post one on X and its creator earns points too.

02 · Submit a meme
For creators. Post your original meme on X (image, GIF or video), then paste that link here. Once the team approves it, it goes into the Vault with your name on it and you show on the Creators board. Up to 5 per run.

For promoters. Post on X with $BUSTED in the text, then paste that link here. Your own meme or one from the Vault both count. Once the team scores it, you show on the Bag Workers board. Up to 3 per run. No follower minimum.
The Leaderboards
You appear here after the team has reviewed your entry, so a new entry can take a little while to show. Boards start fresh with every pool.
