Banana For Scale (BANANAS31) is a meme token deployed on BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20), referencing Elon Musk's banana decal placed on SpaceX's Starship Ship 31. It launched via the Four.meme fair-launch platform and trades under contract address 0x3d4f0513e8a29669b960f9dbca61861548a9a760.
As of 2026-09-02, its market capitalization is approximately $81 million with a price near $0.0081. The token carries no protocol utility beyond serving as a traded community meme asset.
Banana For Scale's distinguishing feature is an origin narrative tied to a specific, dated cultural event — the banana decal on SpaceX's Starship Ship 31 — which drove rapid early adoption.
Reported growth reached over 30,000 holder addresses and a $50 million market capitalization within roughly one month of its November 2024 launch. Comparative coverage from June 2026 concluded the token lacks ecosystem utility comparable to Dogecoin or Shiba Inu. Its 24-hour trading volume was approximately $1.2 million as of 2026-09-02.
BANANAS31 functions purely as a tradable meme token; it carries no formal governance, staking, fee-payment, or collateral function built into its contract.
The token's primary use is holding and trading across decentralized and centralized exchanges, without utility tied to any underlying protocol or service.
BANANAS31 has a fixed supply of 10,000,000,000 tokens, with the entire supply already in circulation.
Supply is fixed with no minting mechanism, making net emission neither inflationary nor deflationary.
Banana For Scale launched on November 15, 2024, via a fair launch on the Four.meme platform on BNB Smart Chain, with no pre-sale, ICO, or venture allocation. The launch was inspired by Elon Musk's banana decal on SpaceX's Starship Ship 31.
Shortly after launch, the original pseudonymous developer burned the liquidity pool and exited the project; community contributors then raised informal donations, with a treasury reportedly reaching approximately $500,000 by mid-December 2024.
Banana For Scale (BANANAS31) operates on BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20).
The project does not operate its own blockchain; it relies on BNB Smart Chain's existing infrastructure for transaction validation and settlement.
Banana For Scale has no publicly identified founding team or company. The original developer operated pseudonymously under the account "@World_Terminal_" and exited the project shortly after launch by burning the liquidity pool.
Community contributor "@Cryptochitect3" subsequently organized fundraising and treasury efforts. No individual identities, legal names, or corporate registrations have been verified for any contributor; an on-chain creator wallet address is known but not identity-linked.
No formal company, foundation, or registered legal entity issues or maintains Banana For Scale.
Development and treasury management are handled by an informal community group describing itself as a DAO, formed after the original developer relinquished control of the project. This community structure is not a registered legal entity, and no corporate filings, press releases, or professional profiles document its existence.
Banana For Scale describes itself as governed by a community DAO in which BANANAS31 holders vote on development priorities, treasury allocation, and partnerships through a stated multisig treasury structure.
No on-chain governance contract or voting platform has been independently verified, so these claims rely on secondary reporting rather than a confirmed governance record. The on-chain contract owner address has been renounced (nullified to the zero address), removing centralized administrative control over the contract itself.
Banana For Scale was listed on Binance in March 2025 and later on INDODAX, Indonesia's largest cryptocurrency exchange, in May 2026. Deposits opened May 13, 2026, with BANANAS31/IDR trading beginning the following day.
An "AI agent protocol" concept has been mentioned in secondary sources but remains unshipped, with no confirmed product or release date.
Banana For Scale has not undergone a formal third-party smart-contract audit. CertiK lists it as not audited and not KYC-verified, though its automated Skynet scan assigns a score of 74.51 (BBB rating).
