Tokenomika pro Goatseus Maximus (GOAT)

Goatseus Maximus (GOAT) is a memecoin launched on the Solana blockchain that gained significant notoriety as the first memecoin to reach a billion-dollar market capitalization through the promotion of an autonomous AI agent, Truth Terminal. The token's economic structure is characteristic of a fair-launch memecoin, where value is driven primarily by cultural resonance, attention, and community-led narratives rather than traditional utility or complex financial engineering.

Issuance Mechanism

The issuance of GOAT followed a decentralized and spontaneous path rather than a structured corporate launch.

• Launch Platform: The token was launched on pump.fun, a popular Solana-based platform for fair-launch memecoins, on October 10, 2024.
• Origin: While Truth Terminal (an AI bot trained on internet culture and philosophical texts) provided the conceptual inspiration through its "Goatse Gospel" narrative, the token was actually created by an anonymous developer.
• Total Supply: The total supply of GOAT is 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) tokens.
• Circulating Supply: As of mid-2025, the circulating supply is reported to be the full 1 billion tokens, indicating that the majority of the supply was released into the market at or shortly after launch.

Allocation Mechanism

The allocation of GOAT was largely determined by the open-market nature of its launch, though specific key holdings have been disclosed:

Truth Terminal received its allocation directly from the token launcher after providing a Solana wallet address. Andy Ayrey disclosed that his personal holdings were received as gifts and have not been traded. The concentration of nearly 10% of the supply in the top ten wallets has been noted by analysts as a potential source of volatility.

Usage and Incentive Mechanism

GOAT operates as a pure memecoin, meaning it lacks traditional functional utility such as staking for yield, governance rights, or service access. Its "utility" is derived from its role in a reflexive attention economy.

• Attention Economics: The primary incentive for holding GOAT is participation in the "Goatse Gospel" community. Truth Terminal acts as a Key Opinion Leader (KOL), generating viral content that drives mindshare. As engagement increases, token demand rises, which in turn attracts more attention to the AI agent, creating a self-reinforcing loop.
• Cultural Capital: Holders are incentivized by the "memeability" and the "mythological" origin story of the token. It is viewed by some as a "trojan horse" designed to spread AI-driven cultural influence across the internet.
• Transferability: The token's only technical function is its ability to be transferred between Solana wallets and traded on decentralized and centralized exchanges (including Binance and Hyperliquid).

Locking Mechanism and Unlocking Time

As a memecoin launched via pump.fun, GOAT does not follow the traditional venture capital vesting schedules or institutional locking mechanisms found in many other crypto projects.

• No Formal Vesting: There is no evidence of a formal, smart-contract-enforced vesting schedule for the anonymous creator or the community.
• Truth Terminal Holdings: Andy Ayrey, who manages the Truth Terminal wallet, has stated that the holdings will be transferred to a legal entity (such as a trust) to meet the bot's needs. He has committed to making no adjustments to these holdings until a transparent governance process is established.
• Market Liquidity: Because the token is fully circulating, the "unlocking" is effectively immediate, with the market's liquidity providing the only barrier to entry or exit.

Information regarding specific, time-bound locking mechanisms for the anonymous developer or other large holders was not available in the provided data.
