Glossary / Meme & Culture
Short for "degenerate" — a trader who takes high-risk positions in early tokens, often on speed and vibes rather than fundamentals.
Degen is a self-applied badge among high-risk traders. Degen behavior includes buying block-0 launches, sniping unknowns, holding thin liquidity, and riding narrative momentum.
The degen ecosystem drove Solana meme coin growth from 2023 onward. Launch Score and public trust badges help degens filter thousands of daily launches faster.
The fastest way to internalize a term is to see it live on a Solana token you know. Paste any mint below to run a public Launch Score.
