Samoyedcoin

Samoyedcoin (SAMO) is a dog-themed memecoin on Solana, launched in April 2021. The project calls it Solana's first memecoin. It has no product you need the token for. SAMO is a community coin, and its official site says the aim is to be "Solana's ambassador": a friendly way for newcomers to find the network and learn how to use it.

The token peaked in late 2021 and has lost almost all of that value since. It still trades on a few exchanges, but the project has gone quiet. Its official X account stopped posting in December 2025, and the roadmap on its site is out of date.

How the SAMO token works: supply, burns and mint address

SAMO is a standard Solana token (an SPL token) with the mint address 7xKXtg2CW87d97TXJSDpbD5jBkheTqA83TZRuJosgAsU. Holding it gives you no claim on revenue and no built-in yield. Its value depends on what other people will pay for it.

The Samoyedcoin site says SAMO was created with 14 billion tokens. A burn destroys tokens, or parks them where nobody can spend them, so fewer are left. The site says burns that ended in 2022 cut the maximum supply to 4.746 billion.

The site also says no new SAMO will ever be made, and that promise can be checked. The token's mint authority is the key that could create more SAMO. It is switched off, according to RugCheck's token report, which we read on 8 October 2026. The freeze authority, which could lock tokens in your wallet, is switched off too.

One number does not line up. The same RugCheck report shows about 5.74 billion SAMO still on-chain. That is roughly a billion more than the site's figure. CoinMarketCap lists a total supply in line with the site's number. The site does not explain the gap, and we could not reconcile it.

SamoDAO, SAMO NFTs and Saga Tools

Samoyedcoin has added a few community features around the token since 2021. None of them is needed to hold or trade SAMO.

• SamoDAO is the project's community treasury. The site says it was funded with 100 million SAMO, and that SAMO holders and SAMO NFT owners can get access to it. We found no recent record of votes or spending.
• SAMO NFTs are a set of 5,525 Samoyed pictures. They went on sale on 31 January 2022 at 1 SOL each and sold out in seven minutes, according to CoinMarketCap's project summary. The site also promotes a customisable "NFT V2" and NFT lending.
• Saga Tools launched on 8 January 2024. It let Solana projects send airdrops to owners of the Saga phone. Samoyedcoin used it first, giving each Saga owner 1,250 SAMO, as Decrypt reported at the time.
• Samo Swap is described on the site as bringing "multi-chain support" to SAMO. The site gives no further detail.

The site also says a Samoyedcoin Mastercard is "coming". We found no launch date and no sign that the card exists yet.

Where SAMO trades: Kraken, Gemini, Orca and Raydium

SAMO trades on a few big-name exchanges and in on-chain pools on Solana. Kraken had SAMO open for trading when we checked in October 2026. CoinMarketCap also lists Gemini and Gate.io. On-chain, RugCheck's report shows SAMO pools on Raydium RAY$1.89-3.1%, Orca ORCA$1.81+0.2%, Meteora and FluxBeam.

OKX is no longer on the list. OKX ended its SAMO trading pairs on 4 June 2025 and said they did not meet its listing rules, as Spaziocrypto reported. Samoyedcoin's own site still shows OKX among its exchanges.

SAMO is an ordinary SPL token, so you can keep it in any Solana wallet. Before you trade on-chain, check the pool size. The on-chain pools were very small when we looked, so even a modest order can move the price against you. The widgets on this page show live liquidity and volume.

Is Samoyedcoin still active in 2026?

Samoyedcoin is still trading, but the project shows little sign of new work. The token changes hands every day on Kraken and in Solana's on-chain pools. The team's public channels tell a different story.

We pulled the official @samoyedcoin X account on 8 October 2026. The latest post was dated 5 December 2025, ten months earlier. The posts just before it were memes and a TradingView giveaway, with no product news.

The official site is online and its footer shows this year's date. Its roadmap is still titled "2025 Focuses". It lists marketing, more exchange listings, NFT V2 features and in-person Hacker House events. We could not find proof that those items shipped.

No shutdown has been announced, so we treat Samoyedcoin as inactive in development and alive as a traded token.

Who Samoyedcoin suits

Samoyedcoin suits people who want a piece of Solana's memecoin history. Think of it as a collectible with a price. There is no working product behind it. If you were around Solana in 2021, SAMO is the dog coin you remember, and that is most of its appeal.

It is a poor fit if you want any of the following:

• an active team shipping updates;
• deep liquidity for large trades;
• a token with a use beyond holding and trading it.

Newer dog-themed Solana memecoins such as Bonk Bonk$0.00000310+1.8% and DogWifHat $WIF$0.203-1.1% now draw far more of the trading. Our report on Solana memecoin spot volume in August 2026 names both among the tokens leading the market. SAMO was not among them.

Samoyedcoin risks: price history, liquidity and a quiet team

The main risk with SAMO is that its price rests on attention, and attention has moved elsewhere. SAMO hit an all-time high of $0.246 on 29 October 2021, according to CoinMarketCap.

It has fallen more than 99% from that peak, and it set a new all-time low in July 2026.

Other points to weigh:

• Thin liquidity. On-chain pools are small, and losing the OKX listing in 2025 removed one of the larger venues.
• A silent team. No named founders are given on the official site, and the official X account stopped posting in December 2025. If something breaks, it is unclear who would fix it.
• Concentrated holdings. The ten largest addresses held about 42% of the on-chain supply on 8 October 2026, per RugCheck. We have not identified which of those are exchange, treasury or burn wallets.
• Changeable token details. RugCheck flags that the token's metadata, meaning its name and logo, can still be edited by one address. That address cannot mint or freeze tokens.
• No audit. We found no published third-party security audit. SAMO is a plain SPL token with no custom program of its own, so there is little code to audit, but the NFT and tool features have no published review either.
• Unclear supply. The roughly one billion SAMO gap between the site's maximum supply and the on-chain figure is unexplained.

Samoyedcoin history and team

Samoyedcoin launched in April 2021. The site says it was born "amid the rise of memecoins and Solana" that year. It says the Samoyed was chosen because the breed is easy to spot and well loved.

The project's own timeline lists these milestones:

• April 2021: SAMO created with 14 billion tokens.
• 29 October 2021: all-time high of $0.246 (CoinMarketCap).
• 31 January 2022: the 5,525 SAMO NFTs sell out.
• 2022: token burns end.
• 8 January 2024: Saga Tools launch and SAMO airdrop to Saga phone owners.
• 4 June 2025: OKX delists SAMO.
• 5 December 2025: last post on the official X account, as of our check in October 2026.

The site also says SAMO passed 50,000, then 80,000, then 100,000 holders. CoinMarketCap showed about 66,000 holding addresses in October 2026.

The official site does not name the people who created Samoyedcoin or who run it now.
