book of meme is a Solana meme coin created by the artist Darkfarms in March 2024 that pitched itself as a permanent onchain archive of meme culture.
book of meme (BOME) is a meme coin on the Solana blockchain created by the pseudonymous artist Darkfarms, previously known for Pepe themed comic art. Launched via presale in March 2024, it reached a billion dollar valuation faster than almost any token before it and set off the Solana presale meta of spring 2024.
Origin
Darkfarms framed BOME as more than a coin: a project to immortalize memes by storing them on decentralized infrastructure such as Arweave and IPFS, wrapped around a tradable token. The presale opened on March 13, 2024, with participants sending SOL directly to the artist's wallet, an arrangement that would normally be read as a scam but which the market embraced; about 10,131 SOL was collected. The token went live on March 14, 2024.
Market history
BOME's rise was among the fastest in meme coin history. Its market capitalization hit 80 million dollars within hours, and within roughly 48 hours of launch it peaked at about 1.46 billion dollars. Binance announced a spot listing on March 16, 2024, two days after launch, one of the quickest major listings ever granted to a meme coin, with reporting noting the token had risen 345 percent in 24 hours around the announcement. The price topped out in the following days and never returned to its highs; BOME spent 2025 and 2026 in long decline, though it retains major exchange listings.
Cultural impact
BOME's success detonated the March 2024 "presale meta," in which traders wired SOL to pseudonymous developers on the promise of future tokens. Copycats raised enormous sums within days, culminating in the SLERF presale disaster on March 18, 2024, and a wave of abandoned presales documented by onchain investigators. BOME itself became the case study in how fast the window between "artist experiment" and "Binance listing" could close during peak mania, and its burn to redeem meme archive concept is still cited when traders argue about whether meme coins can carry cultural payloads. In the trenches the BOME candle remains shorthand for the moment the 2024 cycle went fully vertical. Later tokens pitching themselves for a Binance listing cite BOME by name as the template pathway, pointing to its strong meme identity and community as the qualities that got it listed, evidence of BOME's lasting reference status among launch strategists.
Darkfarms continued posting from the Darkfarms1 account through 2025, confirming the same handle behind the March 2024 launch stayed active as an artist in the space rather than disappearing after the presale.
