Turbo (ticker TURBO) is an Ethereum memecoin created in April 2023 by digital artist Rhett Mankind, who gave OpenAI's GPT-4 a $69 budget and asked it to design a coin that could reach CoinGecko's top 300.[1][2] It peaked near $893 million in market cap in December 2024 after a Coinbase listing.[3]
Lore[edit]
ChatGPT wrote the contract, tokenomics and whitepaper, and Midjourney produced the toad branding. The original name, TurboToad, was picked by Mankind's audience from ChatGPT's suggestions. Mankind said: "I put my artistic ego aside and I let it do all the thinking."[1]
The first Uniswap pool failed when a front-running bot bought up the liquidity, a form of sniping that used up the $400 pool budget. After 78.6% of his audience voted to continue, Mankind redeployed the token as Turbo with community donations: 69 billion tokens, 60 billion for crowdfunders and 9 billion for himself, raising about 3.5 ETH from 50 holders.[1] Turbo passed $50 million in market cap on 4 May 2023.[1]
Turbo hit $0.009302 and about $638 million in market cap on 28 May 2024.[2] Binance listed it for spot trading with a Seed Tag on 16 September 2024, alongside Neiro.[4] After a Coinbase spot listing it hit $0.0143 on 12 December 2024, with a market cap of about $893 million.[3]
