Book of Meme (BOME)
“It tried to put the whole internet on-chain. It hit a billion dollars first.”
This article is about the internet meme. For the original Solana memecoin, see BOOK OF MEME ($BOME).
Book of Meme (BOME) of Meme (ticker BOME) is a Solana-based memecoin launched in March 2024 by the crypto artist known as Darkfarms. Pitched as a decentralized, permanent on-chain library for internet memes, it became one of the most explosive launches of the 2024 Solana memecoin wave, rocketing to a multi-billion-dollar valuation and a Binance listing within days.
Origin
BOME was created by Darkfarms (@Darkfarms1), a crypto artist associated with popular Pepe-themed meme art, and launched on the Solana blockchain on March 10, 2024. Beyond being a speculative token, the project framed itself as an attempt to permanently preserve meme culture, proposing the use of decentralized storage systems such as Arweave and the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) to immutably store memes on-chain. Its public presale dramatically overshot expectations, reportedly drawing about 10,131 SOL.
Spread
BOME's launch coincided with the peak of the early-2024 Solana memecoin frenzy and went viral almost immediately, surging thousands of percent within days and pushing its market capitalization above $1 billion shortly after release. The momentum was cemented by an unusually fast Binance listing: Binance added BOME to spot trading on March 16, 2024 (with a Seed Tag applied) and launched BOME perpetual contracts, an extraordinarily rapid exchange embrace for a token less than a week old.
Legacy
Book of Meme became emblematic of the 2024 Solana memecoin cycle, illustrating how quickly a newly minted token could reach billion-dollar valuations and major-exchange listings on the strength of hype, a recognizable artist, and a culturally resonant concept. Its 'meme preservation' framing, combining speculative trading with decentralized storage of internet culture, distinguished it from purely image-based meme coins.
