HARAMBE is a Solana meme token named for the gorilla whose death at Cincinnati Zoo in 2016 became a widely shared internet story. It is a crypto-market tribute, not an official zoo project or a verified wildlife-conservation program. The name alone does not show that proceeds support animal welfare.

How It Works
The asset tracked here is Harambe on Solana, mint Fch1oixTPri8zxBnmdCEADoJW2toyFHxqDZacQkwdvSP. It can be transferred and traded through Solana wallets and venues supporting that exact mint. Its name and theme supply a cultural narrative, not a claim on zoo operations or charitable funds.
CoinGecko lists HARAMBE as a meme token. A tribute theme should be kept separate from claims about donations, conservation, or governance unless transparent records support them.
Tokenomics
CoinGecko reported approximately 999.943 million HARAMBE for circulating, total, and maximum supply on 2026-10-22. This is close to one billion tokens—not the 21 million stated in the old page. The provider’s snapshot may change.
A near-one-billion supply does not establish Bitcoin-style scarcity, a fair launch, or the absence of team allocations. The sources checked do not provide a verified allocation and vesting schedule. Do not infer burns, locked balances, or holder benefits from the headline figure.
Use Cases
The public role is mainly cultural and speculative: traders can participate in a Harambe-themed meme market. The project whitepaper is a first-party description of its plans, not independent evidence that every proposed feature has shipped.
No verified donation mechanism or conservation impact was found in the sources checked. For any wildlife-benefit claim, look for transparent recipients, transaction records, and an accountable organization.
History
Harambe became a prominent internet subject after the gorilla’s death in 2016 and continued to appear in memes and online commentary. A Solana token using the theme was promoted during the 2024 meme-token wave; a launch-era thread shows cultural nostalgia and speculative trading becoming intertwined.
A recognizable meme can keep a token easy to identify, but recognition is not sustained demand. This token’s market history is shorter and more volatile than the internet history it references.
Risks and Misconceptions
HARAMBE is not Bitcoin and, according to its current tracked listing, does not have a 21-million maximum supply. It is not automatically a charity token: a memorial theme does not prove donations or conservation work.
Token names can be copied. Compare the full mint with CoinGecko and an on-chain explorer, review liquidity and holder distribution, and treat launch threads or price targets as promotion rather than valuation evidence.
Social Media Sentiment
A January 2024 r/CryptoMoonShots launch post disclosed that its author held HARAMBE and used promotional language; commenters discussed rapid price moves and targets. That biased, launch-era thread is not a neutral or current measure of sentiment. Read the cited community thread.
