Book of Meme (BOME) is a Solana memecoin launched on March 14, 2024, by artist Darkfarms1 (Johnny Darkfarms) — framed as both a speculative memecoin and a cultural archive project to permanently store internet meme history on Sol and Arweave — notable for its novel fundraising format (SOL presale via Solana memo transactions) and record-breaking Binance listing speed (approximately 48 hours after launch).

How It Works
- Presale via Solana memo — BOME raised approximately 10,000 SOL (then ~$2 million) before launch by having buyers send SOL to a designated wallet with a Solana memo field confirming participation. This was an unusual on-chain presale mechanism.
- Token distribution — 50% of BOME tokens went to Raydium liquidity, ~20% to the presale participants, with allocations to team and various project purposes.
- Raydium DEX launch — BOME launched on Raydium (Solana’s primary AMM DEX) for active trading shortly after the presale.
- Arweave archive — A portion of the BOME project vision involves uploading internet meme content to Arweave (a permanent decentralized data storage network) as a memetic cultural archive.
- No utility — Beyond the cultural archive narrative, BOME functions as a standard speculative memecoin with no staking, protocol utility, or governance.

History
- Pre-2024 — Darkfarms1 (Johnny Darkfarms) is an established Solana-based meme artist and crypto community figure active in NfT and meme culture.
- 2024-03-10 — Darkfarms1 announces BOME presale via X (Twitter). The presale invites SOL contributions to a wallet with Solana memo tags.
- 2024-03-14 — BOME launches on Raydium. Price surges immediately. Trading volume within hours is enormous.
- 2024-03-16 — Binance lists BOME — approximately 48 hours after launch — setting a record for the fastest Binance listing of a new asset. BOME peaks with a market cap above $1.5 billion.
- 2024 Q2–Q4 — BOME falls significantly from its peak. Remains one of the most recognizable Solana memecoins of the 2024 cycle. Community remains active.
Common Misconceptions
“BOME is just another Pump.fun memecoin.”
BOME launched before Pump.fun became the dominant Solana memecoin factory. It used a unique presale mechanism and launched directly to Raydium, predating the Pump.fun era of Solana memecoins.
“BOME’s archive project means it has ongoing development backing.”
The Arweave archive concept is a stated vision from the creator. BOME has a small team compared to major protocols. The archive project is aspirational and not equivalent to a funded DeFi or infrastructure project.
Social Media Sentiment
BOME generated enormous excitement during its March 2024 launch and Binance listing, with the “meme culture archive” narrative resonating across crypto Twitter. The record Binance listing speed was heavily covered. Sentiment is mixed post-peak, with the community remaining engaged but investors who bought near peak holding significant losses. BOME is considered a defining moment of the 2024 Solana memecoin supercycle.
