Shelling Out Attention
The meme coin trenches have spoken and $PNUT is officially cracking into the top ranks. According to new analytics shared by The Solana Post on May 9, $PNUT now holds the #2 spot across the entire Pump.fun ecosystem in both social media mentions and user engagement, trailing only behind FARTCOIN.
In a sea of meme madness, where daily launches flood timelines and DEXs alike, standing out is no small feat. But $PNUT has managed to do just that riding a wave of nutty branding, active community posting, and a low-key hilarious name.
By the Numbers (May 9)
From The Solana Post’s social chart, $PNUT posted:
•3.28K Mentions (2nd overall)
•968.51K Engagements (2nd overall)
This puts it just behind FARTCOIN, which remains the undisputed king of clout with 10.5K mentions and 3.21M engagements. Still, $PNUT has climbed above dozens of other meme tokens, including FWOG, TITCOIN, AVA, and GOAT all of which had smaller numbers across both metrics.
What’s Driving the Surge?
The $PNUT pump appears to be driven by several key factors:
•Strong Branding: The token name is short, weird, and instantly memeable. Combine that with a clean logo and you’re golden.
•Pump.fun Power: Being built on Solana via Pump.fun gives it speed and reach. It’s already become one of the more recognizable names in recent launches.
•Degen Support: Twitter/X is full of mid-tier and micro crypto influencers tagging $PNUT in memes, threads, and mini pump calls.
This combination of social virality, meme strength, and simplicity is the holy trinity in the current Solana microcap game and $PNUT seems to be nailing it.
Final Take
Whether $PNUT can maintain this momentum or not remains to be seen, but as of today, it’s one of the loudest coins in the room and in the meme trenches, that matters just as much as market cap.
For now, degens are watching closely to see if this nut cracks the next level or just gets roasted.
