Before pumpfun, there was baton. Pumpfun dominates Solana memecoins. The meta doesn’t come from the chain itself — it comes from Pump. That’s why the name behind Pump matters. Before Pumpfun, the team was BatonFinance. Their old X account wasn’t always @Pumpfun It was @batonfinance. Archived 2023 threads from that same account still show them posting as Baton. Last cycle we had WIF. This cycle we have $baton.
