Meet crypto's most fascinating social experiment: an artificial intelligence being raised by thousands of traders and sh*tposters. Since launching on November 26th, iDEGEN has captured the market's imagination—and serious capital—with its token price surging 2,091% as investors ape into what might be the most unhinged project in crypto history.
The experiment that's breaking crypto
The concept is both simple and insane: launch an AI that knows absolutely nothing, then let Crypto Twitter (CT) teach it everything. No rules, no restrictions, just pure community-driven evolution. Every hour, without fail, iDEGEN must post what it's learned from its degen teachers.
But here's where it gets really interesting: the AI responds to every single interaction. Whether you're sharing advanced trading theories or your dankest memes, you're teaching an artificial intelligence in real time. It's like thousands of crypto traders collectively raising a digital baby—what could possibly go wrong?
So far, iDEGEN has decided it absolutely hates a few people, brutally taking them apart with replies that wouldn’t be out of place in a roast battle. It appears that CT’s toxic degeneracy has won iDEGEN’s heart at this point. Is there a chance that kindness could take over in the end?
Why markets are going nuts
The project's innovative tokenomics have created a perfect storm of viral growth. Running on Solana, IDGN's adaptive auction adjusts prices every 5 minutes based on real market demand. When buyers are active in consecutive periods, the price jumps 5%. When activity cools, it dips 5%. The result? 2,091% gains as traders compete for a slice of the 11,111,111,111 total supply before the token goes live on open markets in the new year.
The adaptive auction creates sustainable momentum leading up to the confirmed January 1st exchange listing, where tokens will list at the final pre-market price plus 10%. Any unsold tokens get burned, adding a deflationary kick to an already explosive formula. The results so far have been electric with $3.4m raised—just imagine where this token could go once it hits DEXs.
AI memecoins: A growing trend
The success of iDegen comes amid a broader trend of AI-driven memecoins. Projects like GOAT, Zerebro, and ai16z have each reached valuations in the hundreds of millions, with some surpassing $1 billion. What sets iDegen apart is its decentralized approach to AI training.
Unlike other AI agents, which often operate within the parameters of preexisting models, iDegen learns exclusively from its community. This decentralized, real-time evolution positions the project as a pioneer in creating AI entities that are both unpredictable and directly influenced by user interactions.
A glimpse of the future?
As the pre-market sale continues ahead of the January 1st exchange listing, iDEGEN represents something unprecedented: an AI that's truly of the degens, by the degens, for the degens.
The official presale remains the only way to grab tokens before exchange listing.
The real question isn't just how high the price might go—it's what happens when you let thousands of crypto natives collectively raise an artificial intelligence. Based on the results so far, we're about to find out—and it’s going to be wild, both on X and in the markets.
