GOB Meme Coin Brings Fresh Design to Solana Meme Market
GOB Meme Coin – The quirky Goblintown NFT community is making waves with the launch of its own meme coin, $GOB, on the Solana blockchain—and it’s packed with a next-gen tokenomics model intended to address the flaws of previous meme coin launches.
Reimagining Meme Coin Economics
Goblintown co-founder Alex Taub explained to Decrypt that the project tossed out legacy token designs to build something fresh.
“No one needs another meme coin, but they want one that works… and that’s the attempt here.”
Their solution features a 24-month vesting schedule tied directly to the NFTs, not wallet addresses, designed to discourage early dumping and align incentives with long-term value.
Strategic Launch to Deter Snipers
Dropped stealthily by Exploding Goblin LLC (a Truth Arts subsidiary), $GOB went live via the Goblintown community without pre-announcements. Launching with a small initial market cap aims to prevent bot and sniper manipulation, a common problem on Solana.
2.5% Token Tax Powers Sustainability
A 2.5% token tax on every transaction supports liquidity, marketing, and deflationary token burns—creating a self-sustaining ecosystem. This “smart, balanced token tax” is inspired by early models like Safemoon, without the controversies.
According to Taub, while vesting, token taxes, and anti-sniper methods aren’t new individually, Goblintown is the first Meme NFT project to combine them all. “We think the market … is hungry for a new token design,” Taub adds.
Brand Power with Fun Marketing
Goblintown isn’t stopping at tokenomics—they’re launching a “Sell the Top” TikTok filter and a hotline called Telescram for community messages, blending absurdist humor with aggressive branding. These tactics helped Goblintown explode in 2022, and the team hopes they’ll give $GOB an edge.
“It could die because nobody cares about it… but at least we’re giving it a punter’s chance,” Taub concluded.
