After 2 months and $24.6m raised, iDEGEN’s presale is drawing to a close. In under 24 hours, the AI meme coin is set to launch on DEX, followed by a BitMart listing on the 4th March, opening access to $1 billion in liquidity for the IDGN token.
Described as ‘the world’s most insane social experiment,’ iDEGEN is an AI agent trained entirely by Crypto Twitter degens, without any moderation filter. With four separate social media bans, it has certainly been controversial. But with nearly 27,000 holders and 2.6 million social impressions, this agent has shown that controversy can drive engagement.
With an ambitious roadmap of technical upgrades, and positioned within the $3 billion AI meme coin niche, where rival projects like ai16z and Fartcoin have recently reached $2 billion valuations, iDEGEN appears poised for an interesting first day of trading.

How degens trained an AI, and learned to love it
From the very beginning, the iDEGEN team took a bold approach: aiming to create the world’s first AI agent to be trained not by Silicon Valley experts, but by some of the internet’s most unconventional voices: crypto degens.
The results have been predictably intense. iDEGEN’s hourly posts have progressed from basic thoughts to more provocative, unfiltered, and politically charged content. You can see a recent video example of iDEGEN’s X outputs below.
The team believes that pushing boundaries has been key to making iDEGEN stand out in what has been one of crypto’s highest growth sectors. However, the extremity of the content hasn’t been met without resistance, with four separate bans for alleged ‘violent speech.
However, these censorship efforts seem to have only fueled interest, with one leading to a widespread community reaction and a 24-hour surge of $1 million in funding. The iDEGEN team believes that this strong community support for the project is a major reason it has been trending consistently on X since launching in late November.
The tech behind the $24.6m raise
Alongside efforts to create the most attention-grabbing content, the team behind iDEGEN has also attempted to surpass its competitors with regular and aggressive tech upgrades.
Starting from modest beginnings,, iDEGEN quickly expanded its presence by conversing with aixbt, chatting on Telegram, and posting world-first autonomous video content on RedNote (300+ million users). In fact, the iDEGEN team now believes their agent is the most advanced of any AI meme coin project, with suggestions that its unrestricted nature could lead to even more sophisticated developments in the future.
Most recently, iDEGEN launched a second parallel agent, which runs on the ‘Nvidia-killing’ Chinese DeepSeek-R1 model. The two models are set to compete in a social battle for technical supremacy, with the community deciding the winner.
With Project Stargate allocating $500 billion toward strengthening Western AI infrastructure, and a growing digital rivalry between the US and China, iDEGEN’s team views a public showdown between the two agents as a relevant and timely launchpad for increased virality. This could align well with iDEGEN’s imminent listings.
Expectations for iDEGEN’s public debut
Each IDGN token is currently priced at $0.038. Early participants in the project have reported gains up to 30,000%, with initial flash staking activities yielding up to 10,000% APY.
With a DEX debut to come, and a BitMart listing confirmed for the 4th March, the iDEGEN team is optimistic about the future of their project and the IDGN token’s long-term price potential.
