Popcat (SOL) (POPCAT) is a meme token native to the Solana blockchain, deployed as an SPL token on December 12, 2023. It originated from the "Popcat" internet meme and trades primarily on Solana decentralized exchanges.
As of 2026-09-03, its market capitalization is approximately $51.0 million. The token carries no protocol-level utility or DeFi functionality; it functions purely as a community-driven, exchange-traded meme asset.
Among Solana-based meme tokens, Popcat (SOL) (POPCAT)'s differentiation rests on brand recognition tied to the pre-existing "Popcat" internet meme and an early Solana listing, rather than on technical features.
As of 2026-09-03 it maintains approximately 51,515 holders and aggregate decentralized-exchange liquidity near $5.1 million, with about $160,100 in 24-hour trading volume. The token has no fee capture, staking, or protocol revenue mechanism; its value proposition is as a liquid, tradable meme asset rather than a claim on an underlying business or protocol.
Popcat (SOL) (POPCAT) functions as neither a governance token nor a utility token; it carries no voting rights, staking mechanism, fee-payment function, or collateral use within any protocol.
Holders interact with it solely by holding, buying, or selling the token on Solana decentralized exchanges such as Raydium, Orca, and PumpSwap. There is no on-chain mechanism through which holding POPCAT confers rights beyond ownership of the asset itself.
Popcat (SOL) (POPCAT) has a fixed maximum supply on Solana, with virtually all of it already in circulation as of 2026-09-03.
Net emission is neither inflationary nor deflationary: no further tokens can be minted, and no burn mechanism reduces existing supply.
Popcat (SOL) (POPCAT) launched on December 12, 2023, via a fair launch on Solana's Raydium decentralized exchange, with its full token supply released at genesis.
The on-chain deployment date (December 2023) matches the project's reported founding date, with no discrepancy.
Popcat (SOL) (POPCAT) runs on Solana, which uses a hybrid Proof of History and Proof of Stake consensus to order and validate transactions.
Proof of History timestamps transactions to establish ordering, while Proof of Stake selects validators to produce blocks based on staked SOL. POPCAT is deployed exclusively as an SPL token on Solana, with no bridged or wrapped versions on other chains, and does not operate its own blockchain or validator set.
The founding team behind Popcat (SOL) (POPCAT) is anonymous, with no publicly identified founders, developers, or advisors.
The token was created by pseudonymous, meme-focused creators and launched without a public team identity.
No formal issuing organization, foundation, or company maintains Popcat (SOL) (POPCAT).
This is consistent with its origin as an anonymous, fair-launched Solana meme token: development and promotion appear to rest with the pseudonymous creators and the broader community rather than any registered organization.
Popcat (SOL) (POPCAT) has no formal governance mechanism; there is no on-chain voting system, DAO structure, or off-chain proposal process.
As a fully-circulated meme token with a permanently fixed supply, decisions affecting the token rest with the decentralized market of holders and exchanges rather than any governing body.
Popcat (SOL) (POPCAT) has not been audited by CertiK or any other named security firm.
CertiK's Skynet monitoring lists the project as "Not Audited," with no active bug bounty program, and monitoring for its website, repository, contracts, and social channels not yet activated. CertiK's overall Skynet score for the project is 56.44, rated "CCC." In November 2025, POPCAT was the subject of a coordinated market-manipulation episode on Hyperliquid's perpetual futures market, causing a reported $4.9 million loss to Hyperliquid's liquidity vault and a temporary halt of USDC bridge transfers.
