Cardi B joins the Solana blockchain with WAP, blending celebrity influence, innovative payments, and community spirit—complete with a new mascot, a British Shorthair kitten named WAP.
In a surprising and unconventional move, global rap sensation Cardi B has made headlines by diving headfirst into the world of cryptocurrency through WAP. Known for her unfiltered style and unmatched influence, Cardi B’s involvement with Solana, one of the most talked-about blockchains in the crypto space, is already sparking a wave of excitement across her community of 35 million Twitter followers.
Since the announcement, Cardi has been actively engaging with her fans, introducing them to the WAP project through social media and interactive platforms. The project’s focus on accessibility, particularly through embedded credit card payments enabled by Moonshot, aims to bridge the gap between traditional payment methods and crypto, making digital currency easier to adopt and use in everyday life.
“We’re excited to welcome Cardi B to the Solana ecosystem. She brings unmatched energy and a new wave of excitement for crypto,” a WAP spokesperson said. “Her connection with her fans is real, and WAP is about building something just as authentic.”
WAP thrives despite organized FUD campaigns
As with any groundbreaking project, WAP has faced challenges. A surge of FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) has emerged, with detractors spreading misleading allegations against the project. However, the accusations have lacked substantive evidence and have only served to strengthen the resolve of the WAP community.
In response to the FUD, the WAP community has rallied together with the backing of well-known crypto influencers, including Shmoo, Rex, and Solstice. These figures have been vocal in their support, highlighting the transparency of the project and the value it brings to the broader crypto ecosystem. “This is a project worth believing in,” Shmoo shared in a recent tweet. “The energy and unity within the community are unparalleled.”
Rather than weakening the project, the opposition has fortified WAP’s core supporters and drawn new members into the fold. The project has not only maintained its momentum but has become a symbol of resilience in the crypto world.
A new furry mascot: Meet WAP the cat
Beyond the technical milestones and community engagement, the WAP ecosystem now boasts a charming new mascot—a four-month-old British Shorthair cat named ‘WAP’. Cardi B, known for her love of animals, adopted the kitten shortly after aligning with the project, and WAP has already become a beloved figure among fans and supporters.

The WAP team takes WAP the cat’s care seriously, with a dedicated team managing her grooming and coordinating adorable activities. Whether it’s playful outings or snuggling up for photoshoots, the kitten has quickly become a favorite among the community, symbolizing both the lighthearted nature and inclusiveness of the project.
WAP’s presence has injected a dose of fun into what is often a serious industry. “Cardi adopting WAP isn’t just a cute story—it reflects the spirit of the WAP community,” said a project representative. “We’re here to build something impactful, but we’re also here to enjoy the journey together.”
A growing movement on the Solana Chain
WAP’s journey on Solana represents more than just a high-profile celebrity endorsement. The project reflects a movement that embraces decentralization, innovation, and community-building. With Cardi B as an active advocate, WAP is poised to bring more visibility to crypto and expand its reach beyond the typical blockchain enthusiast.
The introduction of credit card integration via Moonshot is a major milestone, underscoring the project’s focus on usability. This feature simplifies onboarding for new users by allowing them to purchase WAP directly with traditional payment methods, reducing barriers to entry for Cardi’s fanbase and beyond.
Stay connected with WAP
With Cardi B leading the charge, a vibrant community of supporters, and even a feline mascot in tow, WAP is poised to make waves both inside and outside the crypto world. The project offers a glimpse of what the future holds for blockchain—blending technology, celebrity influence, and community spirit into a unique movement.
