Goblintown Drops GOB Meme Coin on Solana with a New Twist

Goblintown Enters the Meme Coin Arena on Solana

Goblintown, an Ethereum NFT collection known for its chaos and charm, is stepping into the meme coin space. The team has dropped a new token called GOB on the Solana blockchain. This time, they’re not just following trends. They’re rethinking how meme coins should work. Their goal is to refresh the experience, especially in a market where many meme coins burn out fast.

The GOB token launched quietly, with no hype before release. It came from Exploding Goblin LLC, a company under Truth Arts—the team behind Goblintown. Co-founder Alex Taub explained that the project looked at what had gone wrong with other meme coin launches. The team stripped everything back and started from scratch. GOB isn’t trying to be just another coin. It’s trying to be a coin that works.

Many meme coin launches go for a big splash on day one. They offer fully vested tokens, high initial valuations, and wide token supply. This creates a rush of hype and exits. Goblintown is avoiding that. They want a slow, steady path. They will keep the market cap low and the supply tight at launch. Instead of offering quick exits, they want people to stick around.

One major change is how GOB is vested. Instead of linking the token to a wallet address, the vesting is tied to the NFT itself. So if someone sells their Goblintown NFT, the GOB tokens follow it. This avoids rewarding short-term holders and bots. Also, the tokens don’t unlock all at once. They vest gradually, second by second, over 24 months. NFT holders can claim weekly. Team members have a longer vesting period of 30 months, with a six-month delay before they can claim anything.

Snipers—people or bots who rush in early to buy and dump tokens—have been a big problem in meme coin launches, especially on Solana. To fight this, Goblintown launched GOB in stealth. They didn’t make a big announcement. Instead, they released it quietly through their community. Only a small percentage of the token supply was made available at launch. This move isn’t perfect, but it lowers the chances of early dumpers taking over.

A Built-In Token Tax for Liquidity and Growth

Another issue with meme coins is poor liquidity management. Goblintown is adding a 2.5% token tax to every transaction. That tax will go toward building liquidity, supporting operations, running marketing campaigns, and creating a deflationary cycle through buybacks and burns. Every trade helps grow the project. Taub said they took inspiration from past examples like Safemoon—before the scandals.

None of these ideas are new by themselves. Vesting tokens, adding transaction taxes, or blocking snipers have all been done before. What’s different is how Goblintown is combining them all into one package, made specifically for a meme coin tied to an NFT project. The team believes this mix can give GOB a better shot at survival in a crowded market.

Goblintown has always leaned into absurd marketing. That won’t change with GOB. The launch comes with a TikTok filter called “Sell the Top,” and a phone hotline named Telescram. People can call in to share love or hate for the token. It’s strange, but it fits the brand.

Final Thoughts

GOB might not be a guaranteed hit. The team knows that. But they’re giving it a real chance by doing things differently. It’s not about hype or instant success. It’s about design, balance, and giving people a reason to care. Whether the market responds is another story—but Goblintown is ready to try.
