Memes: Crypto-native
This page lists the 20 memes we currently document in the category “Crypto-native”. Each one links to a full article: where it came from, and every Solana coin that tried to cash in on it.
- Ansem the Black Bull1 coin · OG $ANSEM
The Black Bull is the mascot persona of Ansem, the Solana trader known as blknoiz06, whose bull imagery became a rallying symbol for Solana traders and spawned a namesake memecoin, ANSEM. It sits at the center of the 2025 to 2026 bull meme wave, where trader personalities and bull-market optimism were minted directly into tokens.
- Believe (Launch Coin)1 coin · OG $BELIEVE
The token at the center of Believe, the 2025 tweet-to-launch Solana launchpad where anyone could mint a coin by replying to a bot on X. It became the poster child for the year's Internet Capital Markets narrative, and later for its excesses.
- Billy1 coin · OG $BILLY
Billy is a Solana-native character meme that gained traction in the pump.fun era of mid-2024, anchoring the BILLY memecoin. It is one of many original cartoon-character coins that defined the 2024 launchpad wave.
- Book of Meme (BOME)1 coin · OG $BOME
Book 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.
- Burnie Senders1 coin · OG $BURNIE
Burnie Senders is a cartoon communist invented on a launchpad. The character is a Soviet sleeper agent drawn to look like Senator Bernie Sanders, who defends free everything and taxing the rich in confident broken English and then accidentally explains, sentence by sentence, why the plan always ends in empty shelves and a queue. The whole product is reverse psychology: every policy briefing the project publishes is an argument against itself, filed under headings like the central committee, seizing the means of production, and gulags for fudders. The contract was minted on pump.fun at 17:30:59 UTC on 1 April 2026 and was worth almost nothing for two days. On 3 April its first real pool opened at 03:08:37 UTC, X spun up a trending topic at 05:49 UTC about Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko boosting it with Bernie satire, and the token closed that day up roughly a hundredfold on 6.4 million dollars of volume. BingX listed a perpetual on 7 April, BitMart listed the spot pair on 29 April, and the market capitalisation peaked near 25 million dollars on 8 May. It is a PolitiFi coin whose politician is fictional, which is the only reason anybody can write about it without a lawyer.
- Fwog (FWOG)1 coin · OG $FWOG
Fwog is a Solana memecoin centered on a crudely-drawn, deliberately childlike frog character, launched on the pump.fun launchpad in July 2024. It is notable as a community-revival story: after the original developer abandoned the project shortly after launch, the community paid the artist and carried it to a multi-million-dollar valuation.
Hege the Hedgehog1 coin · OG $HEGEHege is a hedgehog meme character on a story-driven quest to win the heart of his crush, Hegena. The HEGE memecoin distinguished itself with chaptered lore that unfolds across market-cap milestones, blending a narrative arc with on-chain speculation.
- Hobbes (Ansem's Cat)1 coin
Hobbes is the pet cat of Solana super-influencer Ansem (blknoiz06), whose name reveal in April 2024 sparked one of the fastest cat-coin runs in memecoin history and turned a private house cat into a recurring mascot of Crypto Twitter.
- Hyperskids1 coin · OG $HYPERSKIDS
Hyperskids is a Solana charity memecoin built around a viral troupe of child dancers from Kampala, Uganda, promising to convert speculative trading into food, school fees and housing for the kids. Despite the Hyper prefix it is not a Hyperliquid project, the name refers to the HypersKids Africa dance group.
- MemePedia1 coin · OG $MPEDIA
MemePedia is the encyclopedia of internet memes fused with live Solana memecoin market data. MPEDIA is its official community token on Solana.
Mumu the Bull1 coin · OG $MUMUMumu the Bull is a cartoon bull mascot symbolizing the crypto bull run and the collective 'we're all gonna make it' (WAGMI) sentiment. The MUMU token rallied holders around bullish optimism during the 2024 cycle.
- Ponke (PONKE)1 coin · OG $PONKE
Ponke is a Solana-based memecoin built around a yellow monkey character self-described as a 'degenerate gambler with anger issues.' Launched in late December 2023, it became one of the breakout Solana memecoins of the 2024 cycle, leaning on a strong community, a developed character lore, and influencer endorsements.
- Purple Pepe1 coin · OG $PURPE
Pepe the Frog is green and lives on Ethereum. Purple is the colour of the Solana logo. That is the entire creative premise of Purple Pepe, and it has so far survived three years, a chain wide bear market, a community takeover and a 132 million dollar peak. The token was minted on 3 July 2023, sat with no market for almost a year, and only came alive when liquidity was finally added in June 2024. What lifted it was not a viral video but a Facebook group: the WallStreetBets community page, run by Christopher Berrios and counting more than half a million members, adopted the coin and ran it. Its slogan, Make Solana Great Again, tells you everything about the register. Its on chain description makes a bolder claim, that it was the first Pepe created on Solana, and that one does not survive contact with the block explorer.
- Retardio1 coin · OG $RETARDIO
Retardio is a Solana NFT collection and associated memecoin rooted in Solana 'degen' internet culture, built around an irreverent, deliberately provocative cartoon aesthetic. The 4,444-piece 'Retardio Cousins' PFP collection minted on Solana in April 2024 and grew a cult-like, grassroots community, with a companion RETARDIO token.
Slerf (SLERF)1 coin · OG $SLERFSlerf is a sloth-themed memecoin on the Solana blockchain that became infamous in March 2024 when its anonymous developer accidentally burned roughly $10 million in presale and airdrop tokens. The blunder, rather than killing the project, made it go viral and briefly drove its trading volume above that of all Ethereum-based exchanges.
- SOLdiers1 coin · OG $SOLdiers
SOLdiers is the Solana community's self-portrait: the idea that everyone who survived the trenches (traders, meme artists, moderators, unpaid promoters) was already an army and just never had a name for it. The word went vertical on 15 July 2026 when Helius CEO Mert asked why SOL holders weren't called soldiers, and Crypto Twitter answered by adopting the name within the same minute. It is less a joke than an identity badge, and the token that carries it was minted before anyone had time to finish laughing.
- Unicorn Fart Dust1 coin · OG $UFD
A memecoin born from a gold-and-silver commentator's insult, he dismissed Bitcoin as unicorn fart dust, which he then minted into a real token to test the absurd power of memes, growing a devoted community that calls itself Dusters.
- Unstable Coin1 coin · OG $USDUC
Unstable Coin is the joke that a stablecoin is a promise nobody can keep, so you may as well sell the opposite. USDUC is a token whose entire product is that it does not hold a peg, marketed at people who want the thrill rather than the safety, and its launch note said the quiet part out loud: buy it before bed and find out in the morning whether you are a millionaire or a hobo. It was minted on pump.fun on 18 May 2025, abandoned by its creator inside a week, adopted twice by strangers, bridged to four more chains, listed on Kraken, and it is still trading. It is one of the few memecoins where the premise, the collapse and the survival are all the same bit.
- Useless Coin1 coin · OG $USELESS
Useless Coin (USELESS) is a satirical 2025 memecoin whose entire premise is having no utility, no roadmap, and no promises. By openly mocking the pretense of 'utility tokens,' it became an anti-utility rallying cry and one of the breakout fair-launch memes of its cycle.
- Wen1 coin · OG $WEN
'Wen' is a crypto-native meme born from the community's impatient slang, 'wen moon?', 'wen airdrop?', 'wen lambo?'. The WEN token turned the joke into a landmark airdrop: fractionalized from a poem NFT by Jupiter founder weremeow and distributed to over a million Solana wallets.
