This month, more new fungible tokens happen to be minted on Solana than at any time within the network’s history—by an astounding degree.
Within the last two days alone, 72,202 new tokens have sprang on Solana while using SPL token standard, based on data from Solscan. That’s over 71 occasions the quantity of coins produced around the network throughout a comparable period in October.
Daily stats for brand new token creation on Solana are actually consistently four occasions greater than they’ve have you been since Solana launched in 2020.
As the Solana ecosystem has enjoyed a convincing comeback within the last two months—one that’s boosted SOL, Solana NFTs, Solana meme coins, as well as interest in the Solana smartphone—such an impressive spike in token creation likely can’t be described by organic increases in network activity.

“Maybe you are able to assume a doubling or tripling of [new SPL token creation] due to an uptick generally activity,” Slorg, a pseudonymous blockchain investigator and also the project lead of Solana NFT tool Sol Incinerator, told Decrypt. “But how can you take into account another 6,000 tokens each day?”
Slorg got drawn in to the conundrum whenever a fake token for Sol Incinerator lately sprang on Solana. By tracking on-chain transactions, Slorg as well as their team learned that the imposter had produced a large number of new SOL coins that very same day, pumping and dumping all of them within a few minutes, before getting to the following: PUZZ, RUN, BABY DINO, and DEGEN BOT, simply to name a couple of.
Today we learned that someone had launched an imitation Incinerator token on Birdeye.
Once we began to dive in to the wallet responsible, things grew to become a lot more interesting.

“Of these 7,000 tokens being launched daily, many of them are these 30-a-day style churn type tokens to farm watching people the ‘recent’ tab on Birdeye,” Slorg stated, referencing the most popular crypto buying and selling data aggregator. Slorg tweeted now they “found wallet trails where one guy launched 300 [tokens] themself per week.”
To become obvious, its not all hyped Solana meme gold coin is much more than an hour or so-lengthy rugpull. BONK has stuck to the elaborate roadmap (including launching its BonkBot automated buying and selling bot, that is gaining traction) the token premiered with a team including prominent Solana builders and enjoys broad ecosystem support. And Dogwifhat has continued to be continuously capitalized since its launch recently.
But the prosperity of a number of individuals tokens, poor Solana’s broader resurgence, seems to possess attracted enough deployers who—enticed through the prospects of creating a couple of dollars each gambit—are prepared to ton the ecosystem with sham coins.
“A large amount of people let me know, ‘This may be the entire reason for crypto,’” Slorg stated. “And it’s type of demoralizing, since i think we is really so a lot more.”
