Memecoins have been seeing a supercycle since later 2024 due to the success of top Solana memecoins like WIF, BONK, BOME, and lately $TRUMP and $MELANIA.
However, if you are like me in missing trends or if you want to have a memecoin to your name, try this easy tool to create a memecoin on Solana.
How to Create Solana Memecoins From Pump.Fun?
The reason why CIC Digital and FFF LLC were able to create $MELANIA Trump memecoin out of thin air was because of the simple way to create memecoins.
Unlike previous days when you needed developers, coders, marketers, and project managers to create and launch a memecoin, these days it takes less than an hour to do all that.
You can create a Solana memecoin within 5 minutes from platforms like Pump.Fun. Other similar platforms, also exist for blockchains like Tron (Sun Pump).
- Get some SOL (from a CEX like Binance or a DEX like Raydium with USDC).
- Load your coins in a wallet that supports Solana.
- Go to the Pump.Fun website (https://pump.fun/board).
- Click on “Start a New Coin” on the top.
- Add the following details. These are the only things that you can add to your memecoin and these things are the first a user notices (from my experience). Hence, carefully add these.
- Name: Choose a unique or trending name
- Symbol: This is the symbol of your coin and will be shown on exchanges and platforms like CoinMarketCap. For example, BTC is the symbol for Bitcoin.
- Description: Describe your memecoin in as much detail as possible. This is your only shot at the launch.
- Logo/Image: Add a suitable image or a logo.
- Social Links: These are the social media links for your projects., like Telegram, X.com, or your website.
Why Are Memecoins Popular?
Memecoins are popular because of their wide appeal, ability to capture attention and cater to the aspirations of society.
This was accurately reflected in DOGE, the largest memecoin which was popularized by Elon Musk. DOGE was highly relatable because of its mascot, a Shiba Inu dog that became popular during the late 2020s.
With DOGE’s success, Shiba Inu was launched with a large marketing stunt of gifting half of its supply to Vitalik Buterin. This then shot Shiba Inu to popularity.
The next generation of memecoins like WIF, BONK, and POPCAT was from Solana and they were the ones that shot SOL from $14 to $263.
