Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) is a Solana memecoin launched through Pump.fun in October 2024, born from a joke in an AI chatbot conversation and kept alive by a community that treats the joke as the whole product. It has no utility and says so openly. Even so, it became one of the largest Solana memecoins: as of October 29, 2026, CoinGecko shows a price of about $0.13 and a market cap of about $129 million, roughly 95% below its January 2025 peak.
Key Facts
- Chain: Solana, standard SPL token. Mint address 9BB6NFEcjBCtnNLFko2FqVQBq8HHM13kCyYcdQbgpump (CoinGecko).
- Launch: first mint on October 18, 2024, through Pump.fun (public explorers, DEXScreener pair data).
- Supply: about 999.9 million tokens circulating out of a 1 billion maximum, so circulating and fully diluted values are almost the same (CoinGecko).
- Price and size: about $0.13, market cap about $129 million, rank around #233 as of October 29, 2026 (CoinGecko).
- All-time high: $2.48 on January 19, 2025 (CoinGecko).
- 24h volume: about $24.5 million on October 29, 2026, with a 30-day change of about -26% (CoinGecko).
- Liquidity: the largest on-chain pool is a Raydium FARTCOIN/SOL pair with about $7 million in liquidity (DEXScreener, October 29, 2026).
Where Fartcoin Came From
Fartcoin started as an idea, not a team. The project’s own site points to an “Infinite Backrooms” log, an experiment by Andy Ayrey where AI instances talk to each other. One voice in that log is “truth-terminal”, the persona behind Truth Terminal, the AI account that got famous in crypto circles in 2024 after receiving a $50,000 grant from Marc Andreessen. In the conversation, Fartcoin comes up as a tongue-in-cheek example of a perfect memecoin.
Crypto Twitter took the joke literally. Someone launched the token on Pump.fun, it completed its bonding curve, and from there it traded in normal Solana DEX pools. There is no known founder running a roadmap. The official site states that the token has no intrinsic value and is meant for entertainment.
How Fartcoin Trades
You can trade Fartcoin in two very different places, and the difference matters.
| On-chain (Solana DEXs) | Centralized exchanges | |
|---|---|---|
| Main venues | Raydium, Orca, Meteora, PumpSwap pools | Coinbase Exchange, Kraken, Gemini, plus perps on Hyperliquid and others |
| Custody | Your own wallet | The exchange holds your coins |
| Price check | Pool reserves, visible on DEXScreener | Exchange order book |
| Main risk | Fake tokens with the same ticker | Account limits, withdrawal delays |
The CEX list comes from CoinGecko’s market data on October 29, 2026. Listings on major exchanges are rare for Pump.fun coins, and they are a big part of why Fartcoin kept liquidity long after most of its 2024 peers died.
On-chain, the deepest pool is the original Raydium SOL pair created on launch day. If you buy through a Solana wallet, a router usually splits your order across several pools. Always paste the mint address, not the ticker, into your swap. Live pairs are listed on DEXScreener, and if you use a self-custody app, Gem Wallet and other Solana wallets let you import the token by that address.
Why It Pumped and Why It Dropped
Fartcoin’s run came from three things stacking up at the same time:
- The AI-agent narrative. Late 2024 was the season of AI agents with their own wallets and memes. Fartcoin was the cleanest meme from the cleanest story.
- Total honesty. No fake roadmap, no promised utility. In a market full of fake utility, the joke itself felt more honest than most whitepapers.
- Listings. Major exchange listings brought buyers who would never open a Solana wallet.
The drop followed the usual memecoin path. Attention moved to new narratives, the January 2025 memecoin top passed, and liquidity left the sector. From $2.48 to about $0.13 is a fall of roughly 95%, and the -26% 30-day move to October 29, 2026 shows the trend has not reversed. Compare the real size of any token using market cap vs FDV before you trust a headline number.
Risks of Trading Fartcoin
- No value floor. The token has no revenue, no buyback and no use. Price is pure attention.
- Ticker clones. Many copy tokens use the FARTCOIN name. Only the mint ending in “pump” listed above is the original.
- Leverage traps. Perpetual futures exist on several exchanges, and leverage on a memecoin that already moves 10-20% a day liquidates fast.
- Concentration. Check the top holders on Solscan before buying. Exchange wallets and large holders can move the price in minutes.
- Narrative risk. If AI-agent memes fall out of fashion, the main reason to hold disappears.
Fartcoin and a Fair-Launch Token Like $DOLAN
Fartcoin is a good case study of a memecoin with no team: no presale, no insider allocation announced, only a public launch and a community. DOLAN Duck ($DOLAN) follows the same fair-launch principle on Solana. It is an SPL token with a fixed 98.3M supply and roughly 10,700 holders, contract 4YK1njyeCkBuXG6phNtidJWKCbBhB659iwGkUJx98P5Z. The scale differs, but the mechanics are shared: fixed supply, a public pool, and a price set only by buyers and sellers. Why that launch model matters is covered in fair launch vs presale memecoins.
