Pippin

Pippin (ticker PIPPIN) is a Solana memecoin tied to a live AI experiment. It is not the hobbit or the stage show. The coin is built around a cartoon unicorn named Pippin. An AI model drew it for Yohei Nakajima, the investor who made the BabyAGI agent. A language model now runs the character. It picks what to do next from its own memory and mood. Nakajima also made the code that runs it free for anyone to use.

The token launched on Pump.fun in late 2024. It hit a record high in February 2026, then fell hard.

By October it sat more than 97% below that peak, per KuCoin.

Who created Pippin, and when did the PIPPIN coin launch?

Nakajima asked an OpenAI model to draw a unicorn, posted the picture, and asked the model for a name. It said "Pippin". A stranger then made a PIPPIN token on Pump.fun. Nakajima bought some on the open market and took the project on, says IQ.wiki. Its first price data is from 9 November 2024.

So Nakajima did not create the token, but he runs the project around it. The official site, pippin.love, is signed by him. It links to the token, the unicorn's story, the code and a merch shop. A white paper on the code came out in March 2025.

What is the Pippin AI agent and how does it work?

The agent is a loop of code that keeps a character alive. A setup file sets out Pippin's persona, goals and limits. Then the loop runs with no human choosing each step:

1. Pick a task. A language model, held in by fixed rules, picks what to do next from Pippin's energy, mood and recent memories.
2. Do it. Tasks include posting to X, drawing, reflecting and writing code.
3. Write it down. The result goes into a short-term log, which is later folded into long-term memory.
4. Update state. Energy and mood shift with what just happened, which shapes the next choice.
5. Repeat.

The odd part is that the agent can write new tasks for itself. It drafts a small Python program, tests it and adds it to its list. Its posts come from its mood plus some chance, not from timers or replies, per IQ.wiki.

The Pippin framework on GitHub

The code is public at github.com/pippinlovesyou/pippin under the MIT licence. It is written in Python. It works with OpenAI models, or with GPT4All to run a model on your own machine. It plugs into other apps through Composio, a sign-in hub for hundreds of apps, or through your own keys. Solana actions, such as sending tokens, are an add-on built on Solana Agent Kit. A local dashboard and a text wizard handle setup.

The repo is small. It had about 40 commits and 550 stars when we checked in October 2026. Read it as a sample design, not a product with a team behind it. The site's framework page still says the code is "coming soon", though the repo is live.

PIPPIN token: contract address, supply and where it trades

The official contract address, from the token page, is Dfh5DzRgSvvCFDoYc2ciTkMrbDfRKybA4SoFbPmApump. Check it before you buy, as fake tokens use the same name. Our PIPPIN token page shows the live price.

PIPPIN is a plain Solana token with a fixed supply of 1 billion. It launched on a Pump.fun price curve, so there was no presale and no team share. You can buy it on Solana DEXs. The token page also lists big trading sites such as MEXC and BingX. Binance and KuCoin offer PIPPIN futures, with KuCoin allowing up to 50x leverage.

The project calls the token the "lifeblood" of its community. It does nothing else yet. Voting, builder rewards and DeFi uses are still ideas, not features.

Why did Pippin coin fall? Price history

The chart has run in two big waves:

• First wave. PIPPIN peaked in January 2025, then lost more than 90% by November 2025, per IQ.wiki.
• Second wave. A rally in early 2026 took it to a new high of about $0.90 on 26 February 2026.
• March 2026 crash. On 17 March 2026 it fell nearly 60% in a day, from about $0.35 to under $0.15. Cryptopolitan reported that more than 50 linked wallets, each holding $500,000 to $900,000, sold at once.

The same report cited Bubblemaps, a tool that maps linked wallets. It warned that insiders held almost half the supply. None of these drops lines up with project news. They track trader moves, not product.

Is Pippin coin dead?

Not fully, but it is quiet. The token still trades, and the site and code are still online. The agent's X account, @pippinlovesyou, showed no posts from mid-August to mid-October 2026 when we checked. If you hold PIPPIN for the live-agent story, that silence matters.

Nakajima still lists the Pippin code among his agent work, in a talk he shared in October 2026. But we found no new product news from the project this year.

Who is Pippin for?

• Developers studying AI agents. The MIT-licensed repo is a short, readable example of an agent with memory, mood and self-written skills. You need Python and your own model keys. You do not need the token.
• Memecoin traders. PIPPIN suits traders who only stake money they can lose in full and who watch who holds the supply. Its own token page warns against putting in more than you can afford to lose.
• Long-term holders. It does not suit anyone looking for revenue, fees or token use, because there are none.

Is Pippin safe? Risks to know

• A few big holders. The March 2026 crash came from a cluster of linked wallets selling together. Bubblemaps flagged insiders holding close to half the supply. A few wallets can still move the price.
• No audit. We found no public security audit of the token or the code. PIPPIN is a standard Solana token made through Pump.fun, with no custom on-chain program whose upgrade rights could be abused.
• Story risk. The value rests on Nakajima's name, the AI-agent theme and an agent that posts less than it did. None of these earns money.
• Leverage. Futures at up to 50x let traders magnify swings both ways.
• Agent wallet keys. If you run the code with the Solana add-on, the agent holds a private key you give it. Code the agent writes for itself runs with that access, so use a separate wallet with a small balance.

Pippin vs ai16z, Zerebro and other AI agent tokens

Pippin is one of the AI-agent memecoins that took off on Solana in late 2024. The closest rivals are ElizaOS, once called ai16z, and Zerebro. ElizaOS runs a much bigger open-source agent toolkit that many other agents use. Zerebro is another posting agent with its own token.

Pippin's edge is its founder. BabyAGI was one of the first open-source AI agents. Its weak spot is size: the code has far fewer helpers than Eliza, and new releases are rare. Treat it as a test you can read and copy, not a base others build on.

The Pippin character and CC0 lore

The unicorn and its story are released as CC0, which puts them in the public domain. Anyone can reuse the name and art. The site gives the project a soft, nature-loving tone it calls "Pippinian Naturalism". Its wider story is set in "Wobbly Worlds". You can find the community on Telegram, a builder Discord, GitHub and X.
