They say resilience is the key to success. It’s not about how you’re seen or who you are; it’s about how many times you get back up when the chips are down. Poom may be the embodiment of that idea, but nobody truly knows where he comes from. People admire his cuteness, but few stop to wonder who the little goober is behind those large, beady eyes. When we uncover his origins, it becomes clear how Poom manages to solve his problems time and time again.

Poom’s story began in 2011, in a dimly lit lab in Japan. A small group of rogue scientists, consumed by ambition and bitterness, sought to create a substance that could stick to anything and everything. Fueled by frustration over years of ignored research and denied funding, their twisted chemistry birthed something extraordinary: Poom. He was meant to be their secret weapon in a desperate plan to rob the national bank. With no support for their life’s work, they saw no choice but to turn to crime.

But Poom wasn’t like his creators. Despite his sticky exterior, he had a heart far softer than they anticipated. He sympathized with the struggling scientists but also with the everyday people whose hard-earned money they planned to steal. Still, Poom had no power to stop them. Trapped in a cage, he awaited the day of the heist.

‍

Fate, however, had other plans. The lab was located near the Fukushima power plant, chosen for its abundant supply of clean energy. But when disaster struck and the plant suffered a catastrophic meltdown, the lab was caught in the fallout. A surge of radiation ignited the unstable chemicals within, setting the entire facility ablaze. In panic, the scientists fled, abandoning their creation. They were never seen again.

As the flames consumed the lab, Poom emerged from the rubble unscathed.‍

‍

His rubbery skin had not only shielded him from the fire but also from the radioactive exposure. Though he felt the sting of betrayal, the world now lay open before him. Free at last, Poom was fweeeeeeeeee!

From that moment, Poom wandered the world, eager to explore and learn. No longer bound by his creators, the sky was his limit. But wherever he went, he faced judgment. People recoiled from his appearance, unable to see past his sticky form. While innocent children found joy in his presence, most adults regarded him with fear and disgust. Still, Poom never lost his resilience. He remained kindhearted, determined to find his place in a world that misunderstood him.As the years passed, Poom grew wiser. He witnessed the daily struggles of people fighting to survive and thrive. He saw their hopes and heartbreaks, their optimism and despair. He understood the pain of being an underdog. Yet instead of growing bitter, Poom resolved to share his boundless compassion with those who needed it most.‍

Then, one day, Poom stumbled upon the world of Web3. While trading memecoins to fund his travels, he encountered the degens—the dreamers and risk-takers, hoping for a moonshot but often left rekt by ruggers and whales. Poom saw their struggles and their resilience, and it struck a chord deep within him. He thought, Why can’t there be a space where everyone has a fair chance to make it? Why can’t there be a community where we all win together?

‍In that moment, Poom found his purpose. He knew he had to lead a movement—a revolution of hope and unity. He called upon others who believed in a fairer system, inviting them to become Poomers. Together, they would defy the odds and create a space where the little guys could finally thrive.

And thus, the birth of $POOM.

A token for the underdogs. A community built on resilience. A movement led by the stickiest, most determined goober the world had ever seen. Fweeeeeeeeee!
