Definition
Joke spelling of when, used to ask about a date the team has not given.
Wen is how communities ask for timelines: wen listing, wen airdrop, wen moon. It is a joke about impatience that is also genuinely impatient.
From the other side it is a useful signal. A project that answers wen with specific dates it then misses has a credibility problem. One that refuses to give dates at all may simply be being honest about how software works, or may have nothing to announce.
In practice
Wen airdrop, asked daily for eighteen months in a project that has never confirmed there will be one.

Some of these land faster in conversation than in writing. Sessions are one to one and you can ask anything, including the things that feel too obvious to ask.
