$FARTCOIN

A joke ticker the AI agents kept mentioning. The market took it seriously.

Fartcoin is the punchline that refused to die. Every time you think the bit is over, it adds another zero. Honest because it never pretends to be anything else.

— Flaundy's marginalia

I. Origin

Spawned in the wake of $GOAT as Truth Terminal kept riffing on absurd ticker names. $FARTCOIN was deployed on pump.fun in October 2024 and quietly climbed to a multi-billion-dollar valuation through pure, undiluted bit-commitment.

II. Chronicle

  1. Oct 2024
