iDEGEN’s presale raise has surged past the $23.6m mark, with less than 7 days before it draws to a close and lists on exchanges.
The team behind this AI meme coin, which has gained attention as an uncensored AI agent posting a 24/7 stream of often controversial content, now expects momentum to reach a new peak as the presale enters its final days.
With the presale ending on the 26th of February, and listing on exchanges on the 27th, iDEGEN will be aiming to capitalize on the AI meme coin boom, which has taken projects like ai16z and Fartcoin to $2 billion valuations in recent weeks.
iDEGEN: A case study in viral marketing
iDEGEN’s ascent has been built around a single, unique concept: introduce an untrained AI agent and immerse it into the often chaotic environment of Crypto Twitter (X) to learn and adapt. Then, allow it to post what it wants when it wants.
The results have been remarkable. From a standing start, iDEGEN has now gained over 25,000 holders, generated 2.6 million impressions, trended repeatedly on X, and raised an impressive $23.6m.
Starting out by posting on X hourly and responding to every mention, iDEGEN established an early cult following from crypto degens and those curious to see this social experiment play out in real-time. However, thanks to a raft of technical upgrades, the team behind iDEGEN now believes they have overtaken much of their more established competitors.
The tech behind the $23.6m raise
First came the V2 upgrade, which brought iDEGEN’s bold political commentary and provocative style to a new, platform with a strong interest in crypto: Telegram. Following this, the project shifted gears again, launching V3 with highly shareable video content—a world first for an automated AI agent. This momentum continued to build as iDEGEN made its debut on the rapidly growing Chinese social platform, RedNote.
Most recently, iDEGEN has launched a second version of its agent on the renowned DeepSeek R1 model—which has made headlines in recent weeks due to its high performance and transformative pricing. The race to integrate the ‘Nvidia killer’ first was fierce among many AI projects, but the team behind iDEGEN believes its achievement was a decisive moment in accelerating its presale towards a strong conclusion.
iDEGEN’s original AI and its DeepSeek version are now set to compete in a highly visible and interactive battle for technical supremacy. The team hopes the results are more impressions, more engagement, and further capital inflows into their increasingly captivating ICO.
Given the current macroeconomic outlook, with the U.S. allocating $500 billion toward AI advancement through Project Stargate and an increasingly intense geopolitical battle for AI superiority, iDEGEN could be well-positioned for a strong DEX debut.
iDEGEN presale ends on 26th February
Not even 3 separate bans for so-called ‘violent speech’ have been enough to slow iDEGEN’s momentum. This story has thrown up plenty of surprises, and now, with just 7 days left until presale discounts end and the next step in iDEGEN’s eye-catching evolution commences, the team behind the project expects interest to surge.
Currently available for $0.0314, the native IDGN token is set to rise after being listed on exchanges. This progression reflects iDEGEN’s ongoing momentum, marked by its ability to make headlines, achieve world-first innovations, and reach significant milestones.
