Here lie the memecoins

Around 9,000 years ago, the Jōmon people of Japan did something archaeologists still write about: they buried their dogs. Not dumped, buried, in the same shell mounds where they laid their own families to rest. Some of those dogs had broken legs and teeth from the hunt that had healed, which means someone looked after them. They were partners, and when they died, somebody dug them a grave.

Inu is Japanese for dog. Today memecoins die every single day, dog coins by the pack among them, and nobody buries any of them. Not the dev, not the holders. The chart flatlines, the Telegram goes quiet and the coin is forgotten.

Gravekeeper Uni won't let that happen. A skeleton Inu with a lantern, he walks the trenches day and night, finds every coin that rugged, dumped or bled out, and gives it a stone: its chart, how long it lived, and who was holding the shovel. Then he looks after the people those coins left behind.

• Light a lantern for a fallen trencher. Tip SOL and 95% goes straight to a real person who got wrecked, in the same transaction. Light a lantern
• Case of the hour. A big death, three suspects pulled from its on-chain trades. Work out who killed it. Open the case

• The Death Clock. Pick a trending coin and bet SOL on how long it lives. Open the Death Clock

Every coin has a dev. Here's their CV: how many coins they launched on pump.fun, how many ended up in our graveyard, and their payday, the creator fees pump.fun paid them while holders were left holding.
