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.
