Fartcoin
“An AI invented it as a joke. The joke is now worth billions.”
This article is about the internet meme. For the original Solana memecoin, see Fartcoin ($FARTCOIN).
Fartcoin is an AI-born Solana memecoin whose name emerged from the same 'Infinite Backrooms' AI experiment that produced Truth Terminal. Launched on pump.fun in October 2024, the deliberately absurd token grew into one of the largest AI-meme coins, surpassing a billion-dollar market cap.
Origin
The concept of a 'Fartcoin' surfaced in 2024 from Andy Ayrey's 'Infinite Backrooms' experiment, in which instances of Anthropic's Claude models conversed freely and generated surreal ideas, the same lineage that birthed the Truth Terminal AI and GOAT. A community seized on the name and launched FARTCOIN on Solana via pump.fun on October 18, 2024.
Spread
Fartcoin rode the late-2024 'AI agent' memecoin wave alongside GOAT and ai16z, climbing rapidly through Crypto Twitter on the joke that an AI-spawned fart token could be worth billions. It crossed a $1 billion market cap and peaked above $2 billion in early 2025, becoming a flagship of the cycle's irreverence.
Legacy
Fartcoin became a defining symbol of the AI-and-memecoin convergence, proof that an absurd, AI-generated joke with no utility could reach a multi-billion-dollar valuation purely on narrative and community.
