What is the baton (BATON) memecoin?

baton (BATON) is a community memecoin on Solana launched through the pump.fun launchpad in early September 2026. The token trades on the "official memecoin mascot" narrative around Baton Corporation — the development company behind pump.fun — with community lore claiming pump.fun was originally named "Baton" before rebranding. BATON has no utility by design; the project's own materials describe it as "zero utility, 100% dog." DropsTab classifies BATON under Meme and the Solana Ecosystem.

Is BATON the official pump.fun token?

No. BATON has no official connection to pump.fun or Baton Corporation. The project's own website states BATON has no association with PumpFun, and Baton Corporation has issued no official token. The "pump.fun mascot" framing is a community-driven narrative, not a company endorsement. Any claim that pump.fun created or backs BATON misrepresents the token.

How was BATON launched and how is its total supply distributed?

BATON launched as a fair launch on the pump.fun bonding curve in early September 2026 — no presale, no team reserve, and no insider allocation. Per DropsTab data, BATON's total supply stands at roughly 998.8 million tokens. The project claims 100% of supply sits in the liquidity pool with the LP burnt, plus a dynamic trading fee of about 1% through the Pump.fun AMM. These structure claims are project self-reported, not audited.

Does BATON have a vesting schedule or token unlocks?

BATON has no vesting schedule, no cliff dates, and no unlock calendar — consistent with a fair-launch token that carries no insider allocations. This removes scheduled unlock sell pressure entirely. The material risks for BATON are different: liquidity withdrawal and narrative collapse, neither of which follows a schedule. The LP-burn claim, if accurate, would also remove rug-by-liquidity risk, but the burn remains a project-side statement rather than an audited fact.

Who invested in BATON or backed the project?

No one. BATON raised no funding and has no investors — no presale, no VC allocation, and no strategic backers. DropsTab records no fundraising rounds for the token. Baton Corporation, the company behind pump.fun, is not an investor in BATON; the association is narrative propagated by the community. Traditional insider-holdings concentration therefore does not apply. On-chain whale concentration is the relevant exposure, and no holder-concentration audit is publicly available.

Where can you buy and trade the BATON token?

BATON trades on multiple centralized exchanges and several Solana DEX pools. Spot listings cover LBank (BATON/USDT) and MEXC (BATON/USDT and BATON/USD1), with a BATON perpetual futures contract on MEXC Futures. On-chain liquidity sits on PumpSwap — the native post-graduation venue — and across Meteora pools quoting against SOL, USDC, and USDT, the pairs most routing aggregators use. CEX books are thin relative to major listings, so spreads and slippage can be severe.

Which BATON contract address is the real one?

The canonical baton token is the Solana mint Hg5Ja55T5wESq4vyFoiVCMeHXtGyVA69X2UHq8hgpump, verifiable on Solscan. Many different pump.fun tokens share the "baton" name and the BATON ticker, and same-name impostor launches are a known hazard on the launchpad. Traders should match this exact mint address before any purchase — buying a same-name token with a different mint means holding an unrelated asset.

What are the main risks of holding BATON?

BATON carries memecoin-typical structural risk: micro-cap liquidity concentrated in a handful of DEX pools, whale distribution that is unverified, and total dependence on a narrative the issuer explicitly does not own. The LP burn is self-reported, not audited. Regulatory exposure sits one level up — pump.fun and Baton Corporation are named defendants in a RICO class-action lawsuit over memecoin trading, and BATON's ecosystem depends on both.
