By

COOKIE Coin, which has recently gained attention in the blockchain industry, is a community-driven meme coin designed to grow through fun and active participation. It embodies the spirit of community, creativity, and rewards, focusing on building a sustainable ecosystem centered around strong community bonds rather than mere financial value.

■COOKIE Coin’s Economic Structure & Ecosystem Development

The total supply of COOKIE Coin is 1.95 billion tokens, with no additional issuance planned. The allocation plan is as follows:

• 30% (585 million tokens) → Community rewards (events, reviews, airdrops, etc.)

• 25% → Token sales

• 20% → Marketing and ecosystem expansion

• 15% → Team and developers (1-year vesting)

• 10% → Reserve funds

Notably, the 15% allocated to the team and developers is subject to a one-year vesting period to prevent price volatility at listing. The tokens will then be gradually unlocked or re-vested over time. This measure prioritizes pre-sale participation and rewards for community contributors.

■COOKIE Coin’s Step-by-Step Growth Strategy

COOKIE Coin follows a long-term roadmap with four development phases:

1. Building a community and securing initial users through airdrops

2. Acquiring over 10,000 holders and forming partnerships with key influencers

3. Listing on decentralized exchanges (DEX) and launching large-scale marketing campaigns

4. Targeting 100,000+ holders, introducing NFTs, Web3 games, and an e-commerce platform

Further expansion will be pursued through listings on centralized exchanges (CEX).

■Integration of COOKIE Coin and Powder Token

Within the COOKIE Coin ecosystem, Powder Token will play a crucial role. Powder Token will be rewarded to Web3 game participants, platform users, and NFT holders, and can be exchanged at a fixed ratio for COOKIE Coin.

Especially, users engaging in Web3 gaming and NFT-based mining activities can earn Powder Tokens, which can be converted into COOKIE Coin and traded on both DEX and CEX or used for real-life transactions.

■COOKIE Coin’s Global Expansion Strategy

COOKIE Coin is actively building a global community by recruiting verified blockchain influencers (directors) in 120 countries. The first batch of directors has already been selected in Japan, China, Thailand, Nigeria, the UK, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Canada, and Bangladesh.

Additionally, COOKIE Coin is developing a Telegram-based Web3 game and utilizing AI technology to produce multilingual music content tailored to different countries, aiming to establish localized brand recognition worldwide.

■COOKIE Coin’s Vision

Beyond being a simple meme coin, COOKIE Coin aspires to build a strong Web3-based community platform. To achieve this, blockchain and AI experts are working together to create a sustainable ecosystem that combines entertainment and rewards.

Chinese Hubei citrus is favored by the international market

By

In late December, Velikiy Novgorod in Russia was covered in plain silver. Municipal workers were hanging New Year’s colorful lights and slogans on the streets, and the New Year atmosphere could be strongly felt everywhere. In the local area, large batches of citruses from Hubei Province, China, have occupied the supermarket shelves, attracting many citizens to purchase.

“We often buy high-quality and inexpensive Chinese citruses when the New Year comes,” Maria, a resident purchasing citrus at the supermarket, said. “Besides purchasing fresh fruits, canned citruses and citrus-flavored snacks are also our favorites.”

Thanks to its unique geographical conditions, the citrus picking season in Hubei Province coincides with the end of November to December. Citruses have thick peels and richflesh and are durable for storage and transportation. These characteristics make citruses possible to be on the markets just before the New Year in Central and Eastern European and Central Asian countries. Importers and exporters deeply prefer them.

Mu Chunyuan, a truck driver from Huludao City, Liaoning Province, came to Nanzhang County’s Xunjian Town to transport citruses as usual. “It only takes 4 days for the truck to transport to the Manzhouli Port, 7 days to reach Vladivostok, Russia, and 15 days to enter supermarkets in Moscow and St Petersburg, Russia,” Mu told the journalists while opening a citrus. “Look, it doesn’t have kernels, and its flesh is delicate. So, it is popular on the market. Yummy!” After speaking, he took another bite.

Xiangxia Fruit and Vegetable Co., Ltd. is an agricultural enterprise focusing on citrus export trade in Xiangyang, Hubei Province. Its market covers Russia, Kazakhstan, Singapore, and other countries that jointly build the “Belt and Road.” On walking into the enterprise, journalists found that nearby farmers were transporting citruses to the workshop by tricycles. Citruses were piledup like redmountains. Dozens of workers were divided into three groups to clean, sort, and package busily.

“In the past, our citrus exports were all resold through intermediaries. So, profits were taken away by them,” Wu Mingchang, a head of Xiangxia Fruit and Vegetable Co., Ltd., recalled his experience in opening export channels. “In 2010, my wife and I took a truck of citruses to sell in Shenyang, Liaoning Province. When we arrived there, we only discovered that the northern channel for citrus exports was Manzhouli, Inner Mongolia.In the second year, we drove our trucks carrying citruses directly to the Manzhouli Port, opening our export channels.”

Without intermediaries, the local citrus customs clearance time was saved by nearly two days, and fruit farmers could earn more. “Look, this is the citrus price in St Petersburg today, 193 rubles per kilogram. The market is quite promising,” Wu Mingchang said while showing the information sent back by Russian merchants on his phone to the journalists. “This year, our company’s output value is expected to exceed 40 million yuan!”
