The Solana Memecoin Born From an AI Joke"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Facts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Chain:<\/strong> Solana, standard SPL token. Mint address 9BB6NFEcjBCtnNLFko2FqVQBq8HHM13kCyYcdQbgpump (CoinGecko).<\/li><li><strong>Launch:<\/strong> first mint on October 18, 2024, through Pump.fun (public explorers, DEXScreener pair data).<\/li><li><strong>Supply:<\/strong> about 999.9 million tokens circulating out of a 1 billion maximum, so circulating and fully diluted values are almost the same (CoinGecko).<\/li><li><strong>Price and size:<\/strong> about $0.13, market cap about $129 million, rank around #233 as of October 29, 2026 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/fartcoin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CoinGecko<\/a>).<\/li><li><strong>All-time high:<\/strong> $2.48 on January 19, 2025 (CoinGecko).<\/li><li><strong>24h volume:<\/strong> about $24.5 million on October 29, 2026, with a 30-day change of about -26% (CoinGecko).<\/li><li><strong>Liquidity:<\/strong> the largest on-chain pool is a Raydium FARTCOIN\/SOL pair with about $7 million in liquidity (DEXScreener, October 29, 2026).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where Fartcoin Came From<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fartcoin started as an idea, not a team. The project&#8217;s own site points to an &#8220;Infinite Backrooms&#8221; log, an experiment by Andy Ayrey where AI instances talk to each other. One voice in that log is &#8220;truth-terminal&#8221;, 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crypto Twitter took the joke literally. Someone launched the token on Pump.fun, it completed its <a href=\"\/blog\/bonding-curve-pumpfun-explained\/\">bonding curve<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Fartcoin Trades<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can trade Fartcoin in two very different places, and the difference matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th><\/th><th>On-chain (Solana DEXs)<\/th><th>Centralized exchanges<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Main venues<\/td><td>Raydium, Orca, Meteora, PumpSwap pools<\/td><td>Coinbase Exchange, Kraken, Gemini, plus perps on Hyperliquid and others<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Custody<\/td><td>Your own wallet<\/td><td>The exchange holds your coins<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Price check<\/td><td>Pool reserves, visible on DEXScreener<\/td><td>Exchange order book<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Main risk<\/td><td>Fake tokens with the same ticker<\/td><td>Account limits, withdrawal delays<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The CEX list comes from CoinGecko&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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 <a href=\"https:\/\/dexscreener.com\/solana\/9BB6NFEcjBCtnNLFko2FqVQBq8HHM13kCyYcdQbgpump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">DEXScreener<\/a>, and if you use a self-custody app, Gem Wallet and other Solana wallets let you import the token by that address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why It Pumped and Why It Dropped<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fartcoin&#8217;s run came from three things stacking up at the same time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>The AI-agent narrative.<\/strong> Late 2024 was the season of AI agents with their own wallets and memes. Fartcoin was the cleanest meme from the cleanest story.<\/li><li><strong>Total honesty.<\/strong> No fake roadmap, no promised utility. In a market full of fake utility, the joke itself felt more honest than most whitepapers.<\/li><li><strong>Listings.<\/strong> Major exchange listings brought buyers who would never open a Solana wallet.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>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 <a href=\"\/blog\/market-cap-vs-fdv-memecoins\/\">market cap vs FDV<\/a> before you trust a headline number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Risks of Trading Fartcoin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>No value floor.<\/strong> The token has no revenue, no buyback and no use. Price is pure attention.<\/li><li><strong>Ticker clones.<\/strong> Many copy tokens use the FARTCOIN name. Only the mint ending in &#8220;pump&#8221; listed above is the original.<\/li><li><strong>Leverage traps.<\/strong> Perpetual futures exist on several exchanges, and leverage on a memecoin that already moves 10-20% a day liquidates fast.<\/li><li><strong>Concentration.<\/strong> Check the top holders on Solscan before buying. Exchange wallets and large holders can move the price in minutes.<\/li><li><strong>Narrative risk.<\/strong> If AI-agent memes fall out of fashion, the main reason to hold disappears.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fartcoin and a Fair-Launch Token Like $DOLAN<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fartcoin is a good case study of a memecoin with no team: no presale, no insider allocation announced, only a public launch and a community. DOLAN Duck ($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.
