Origin
Launched on Solana on 24 December 2023 as an SPL token. No publication I could reach names the creator, so none is named here. Source: IQ.wiki.
Supply
Total supply of 555,555,555 tokens, effectively all of it circulating on 19 September 2026. Solana contract . Sources: IQ.wiki; CoinGecko, read 19 September 2026.
Chain

Two prices, both from CoinGecko. The dashed line is a straight join between them, not the path the price took.
The Record
Documented highs, lows and events. Not a forecast.
All Time High
$0.836512, 18 November 2024.
All Time Low
$0.00927982, 3 January 2024.
Event 1
In its first twenty four hours it reached a $30 million market capitalisation on $45 million of volume, with about 10,000 holders. Turning over more than its own market capitalisation on day one is what a launch looks like when it works. Source: IQ.wiki.
Event 2
Listed on HTX on 29 December 2023, Bitget on 17 January 2024 and Gate.io on 14 March 2024, the first of them five days after launch. Source: IQ.wiki.
Event 3
A market making arrangement with Gotbit was announced on 16 January 2024. A memecoin with a market maker is a different object from one without, and the arrangement is a fact about the order book rather than about the monkey. Source: IQ.wiki.
Event 4
From $0.00927982 on 3 January 2024 to $0.836512 on 18 November 2024, about ninety times inside eleven months, and back to roughly two cents by September 2026. Source: CoinGecko.
The Live Chart, And The Contract
Daily candles for the pool this token actually trades in, re-read every minute and drawn on this page rather than embedded from somebody else’s. The contract is underneath so you can check the chart is the token this page is about.

Daily candles from GeckoTerminal, re-read every minute while this section is on screen and drawn on this page. Not a recommendation.
Check the contract against the chart before you trust either. On both chains there is always a different token using the same name.
The Risks
Structural, and specific to this token.
Risk 1
No creator is publicly named, so there is no accountable entity behind it.
Risk 2
It is about ninety seven per cent below its November 2024 high.
Risk 3
A market making agreement means somebody is being paid to be on both sides of the book. That supports liquidity and it is not the same thing as demand.
Risk 4
The character is the product. There is no revenue, no cash flow and nothing underneath the token but the character and the people holding it.
Supply, all time high and all time low from CoinGecko, read 2 September 2026. Launch details from the issuer's own announcements and from Solscan. Any price or market capitalisation inside the timeline is a dated snapshot, not a live figure. The live table is on the memecoins page. Every row in the timeline carries its own date and its own publication, and those are the sources. Supply, contracts, all time highs and all time lows come from CoinGecko, cross checked against CoinMarketCap and Coinpaprika. Where the aggregators disagree, both figures are printed and each is named in the row. Where a date is reported only as a month or a range it is written that way rather than narrowed. Direct quotations are reproduced from the reporting and attributed to the person who said them. Any price or market capitalisation in a row is a dated snapshot, not a live figure. Nothing on this page is a price forecast.

No. It is a breakdown of a token, which is a different thing. Memecoins have no cash flows and can go to zero. Nothing here is financial advice and Cody Wise is not a licensed advisor.
A Memecoin Is Not
A Position.
The sleeve is sized so a total loss changes nothing about the plan. That is the only condition under which it belongs at all.
