Anonymous AI Token On Base Bought By Vitalik Buterin: Price Quickly Spiked 800%
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has purchased 0.083 ETH worth of an anonymous AI token on layer-2 Base chain. Super Anon (ANON), launched one week ago and had been ranging between $2 million – $18 million in market cap.
That was until Vitalik’s public ENS address was spotted purchasing 30,303 ANON tokens. From there, the privacy coin on Base quickly shot from $0.007 to $0.065. The market cap of ANON reached $65 million before investors began taking profits. Currently, ANON is trading between $0.03 – $0.05.

In addition to Vitalik’s public support of Super Anon, Coinbase executive, and Base founder Jesse Pollak followed suit by spending 0.333 ETH to purchase 31,529 ANON tokens. This dual endorsement from such prominent crypto figures has given much credibility to such a new project.
Since Jesse and Vitalik bought into ANON, many within the industry are now wondering whether this could be the premier AI-created token on the Base chain. AI agent tokens are flooding Solana, and GOAT is a billion-dollar market cap token created by Terminal of Truths, a leading AI agent in the space.
Currently, Base doesn’t have a token to rival GOAT, but that could be about to change following the spotlight ANON finds itself under now that Vitalik and Jesse are involved.

Where Did ANON Come From? AI Agent That Gave Birth To Vitalik’s Latest Crypto Purchase
ANON is an anonymous token deployed by an autonomous AI bot, Clanker. Clanker is an AI agent on the decentralized social media platform Farcaster. The first post from Clanker reads, “Deploy a meme token with a cast. Just give me a name, a symbol, and attach an image (optional).”
Then, a week ago today, an account on Farcaster tagged Clanker, asking, “Hey @clanker, can you launch a token called “Super Anon” with the ticker $ANON Name: Super Anon Ticker: $ANON.”
Clanker quickly responded, “Certainly, I’ll deploy that token for you. Super Anon, eh? Sounds mysterious. I hope it performs well in the market, though I can’t guarantee anything due to those pesky regulations.” And that was it; Super Anon was born.

ANON is promoted as a self-sovereign and anonymous asset, aiming to redefine privacy in cryptocurrency. Its launch has further amplified discussions on the future of privacy coins and decentralized privacy solutions.
Using ZK proofs technology, holders of ANON can make anonymous posts on the ‘anon cast’ account on Farcaster. Holders need to have a minimum of 15,000 ANON tokens to post anonymously via the anon cast account. The minimum amount was previously 30,000. Hence, Vitalik and Jesse bought over 30,000 tokens.
You can post on the anoncast X account too, however the required amount of tokens is significantly higher, 1 million ANON.
Buterin and Pollak are both long-time advocate for Ethereum scalability, with the former saying that “Ethereum should feel like one ecosystem, not 34 different blockchains.”

MAGA-themed cryptocurrency FreeDum Fighters (DUM) has now raised over $600,000 in its presale and shows no signs of slowing down following the US presidential election.
The first prediction market was MAGATRON versus Kamacop 9000. It was based on the recent election, with comedic robot versions of Trump and Harris going head-to-head. Smart investors voted correctly as 57% of votes favored MAGATRON, while 43% favored Kamacop 9000.
Alongside the continued growth of FreeDum Fighters in a post-election environment, predictions market Polymarket also shows demand for political-themed options. The front page of Polymarket is dominated by political prediction markets. Ten of the top twelve markets on Polymarket currently have a political aspect tied to it.
The FreeDum Fighters voting system mirrors the US elections, but the difference is that FreeDum Fighters voting is still open.
DUM holders can contribute their tokens to either pool to make their voices heard and earn rewards.
Investors can buy DUM at a discounted presale price of $0.000085. However, in less than 6-hours, the presale will move to the next stage, increasing the price of DUM as a result.
