Samoyedcoin (ticker SAMO) is a dog-themed Solana memecoin launched in April 2021, which bills itself as the first memecoin on Solana.[1][2]
Lore[edit]
SAMO launched with an airdrop of 1 million tokens to 2,000 early community members.[1][2] Its founders use the pseudonyms smsl and Hot Onion.[2] Decrypt described it as inspired by Dogecoin, Sam Bankman-Fried and Solana founder Anatoly Yakovenko.[3] The project calls itself Solana's ambassador and has pursued community and onboarding work rather than pure memes.[1]
The original maximum supply was 14 billion SAMO. Burns completed in 2022 removed 54%, leaving a fixed maximum of 4.746 billion.[1] The project set up SamoDAO, funded with 100 million SAMO, and later airdropped SAMO to Saga Genesis holders.[1] Centralised listings include Kraken, Gate.io and OKX.[2]
SAMO's main run came in October 2021, when it rose 2,388% in the month, from about $0.0056 to $0.139.[3] It predates the later Solana dog coins Bonk, Myro and dogwifhat.
