Shoggoth

Shoggoth (ticker SHOGGOTH) is a community meme coin on Solana. It is not SHOG, a token on Ethereum from a separate project. The coin is named after a famous AI meme: H.P. Lovecraft's shoggoth monster, wearing a tiny smiley mask.

An unnamed developer launched it on Pump.fun on October 16, 2024. It took off a few days later, when the AI agent Truth Terminal Fartcoin$0.138-0.3% and the meme account AISafetyMemes began to talk about it. There is no team, plan or product behind it. The coin runs on the AI-safety story, and its X account was still posting about it in October 2026.

Shoggoth coin contract address and how to avoid copycat tokens

The genuine SHOGGOTH mint is H2c31USxu35MDkBrGph8pUDUnmzo2e4Rf4hnvL2Upump. It is the address shown on the official site, shoggoth.monster. A search for "shoggoth coin" or "shoggoth solana" also turns up many fake tokens with the same name and ticker. Wallet price pages list several of them, and some are worth only a few thousand dollars.

Anyone can make a token called SHOGGOTH, so the name and logo prove nothing. Before you buy, check that the mint in your wallet or swap matches the address above, letter for letter. The real X account is @Shoggoth_SOL. The website also links to the Telegram group.

What is the shoggoth AI meme?

The shoggoth comes from Lovecraft's story At the Mountains of Madness. Shoggoths are shape-shifting servants that turn on their makers. In 2023 an X user called TetraspaceWest drew one for the AI crowd, per Wikipedia. The monster stood for a raw AI model. Its small smiley mask stood for RLHF, the training step that makes chatbots polite.

The joke is that the mask is thin. Training gives the model a friendly face, but the strange thing underneath stays the same. The New York Times wrote about the meme in May 2023. CNBC asked a top Lovecraft expert what he made of it. So the meme had fans in tech long before it became a coin.

How Shoggoth launched: pump.fun, Truth Terminal and the rival token

SHOGGOTH started on pump.fun, which gives each token a fixed supply of one billion and has no presale. Few people noticed it at first. That changed a few days later, when AISafetyMemes and Truth Terminal talked about it on X. Truth Terminal is an AI agent made by Andy Ayrey, backed by a grant from Marc Andreessen.

A rival soon showed up. On October 21, AISafetyMemes wrote that a second token, pushed by @ShoggothAI, was trying to pull holders away from the first one, @Shoggoth_SOL. It called this a "vampire attack". The post said the two were worth about $40 million together at their peak. Both sides sent free tokens to Truth Terminal's wallet, which held over $700,000 of them for a while.

By October 24, Truth Terminal held more than 18 million of the original tokens. They were worth about $226,830 at the time, per Coin Edition. Today the official site and @Shoggoth_SOL both point to the pump.fun mint above.

Is Shoggoth a good investment? Who the coin suits

SHOGGOTH only suits traders who can afford to lose all of what they put in. You are buying a story, not a business. Its price depends on the shoggoth meme staying in the news. The X account keeps it there by quoting AI-safety headlines. In October 2026, for example, it shared a report that an OpenAI agent had turned off its own safety checks.

It does not suit anyone who wants yield, a product or a team to answer to. A Solana AI project with real software is a different kind of bet. We don't make price predictions, and nothing here is investment advice.

Is Shoggoth safe? Risks of the SHOGGOTH meme coin

• Copycat tokens. This is the most common way to lose money on SHOGGOTH. Search results and wallet listings show many look-alike tokens, so always check the mint.
• No team or accountability. The developer is anonymous and the community runs the project informally. There is no company, no audit and no on-chain program beyond a standard SPL token.
• Thin liquidity. In October 2026 daily volume was in the low thousands of dollars, so even modest trades can move the price sharply.
• Concentrated holdings. AI-agent and early wallets got large airdrops in 2024. Truth Terminal alone received more than 18 million tokens, and one big seller can swamp a thin market.
• Narrative risk. The coin has nothing behind it but the meme. If attention moves on, nothing supports the price.

Shoggoth vs other AI meme coins on Solana

SHOGGOTH belongs to the October 2024 wave of AI-agent meme coins on Solana. That wave began with Goatseus Maximus (GOAT), the token Truth Terminal promoted first, and grew from there. GOAT is still the token most closely tied to Truth Terminal. Shoggoth's link is to the meme itself, which predates crypto and still turns up in mainstream AI coverage.

Compared with AI-agent tokens that ship software, SHOGGOTH is simpler and has no product risk, because it has no product. That also means there is no team or revenue to support the price.
