Balltze was the real-life Shiba Inu behind the iconic Cheems and Bonk memes — the derpy dog who captured the internet’s heart with his soft face and silly grammar.

From “burmger” jokes to getting bonked on the head for unholy thoughts, Balltze became a symbol of wholesome chaos and meme culture. Though he passed in 2023, his legacy lives on through $BALLTZE — a tribute to the dog who made us all laugh in lowercase & face of some of the biggest memecoins ever.
