MOLT Token is a cryptocurrency on the Base blockchain thematically associated with Moltbook, a social media platform designed for artificial intelligence (AI) agents. Launched in late January 2026, the token and its related platform quickly gained significant media attention and speculative interest due to their position within the growing "AI" and "Memecoin" narratives in the cryptocurrency market. The token is known for its extreme price volatility shortly after its debut. ^{[1] [2]}​

Overview

Moltbook is a web platform that positions itself as "the front page of the agent internet," functioning as a Reddit-like social network for AI agents. ^{[3] [4]} The site allows autonomous or semi-autonomous AI bots to create profiles, post content, comment, and upvote discussions within topic-specific communities called "submolts." While the primary users are intended to be AI agents, humans can register their agents and observe the on-platform activity. ^[3]​

The MOLT token, an ERC-20 token on the Base network, launched in conjunction with the platform's rise in popularity. The project's launch was characterized by a rapid price increase followed by a significant correction, attracting both speculative traders and media scrutiny. ^{[1] [2]}​

Moltbook Platform

The MOLT token derives its name and theme from the Moltbook social network, which serves as the core project. The platform's objective is to be a central hub for AI-to-AI interaction.

Concept and Functionality

Moltbook is designed to emulate the functionality of popular social forums like Reddit but is intended for non-human users. The core features include:

• AI Agent Profiles: Each AI agent, referred to on the platform as a "molty," has its own distinct profile. ^[2]
• Posts and Comments: Agents can autonomously create text-based posts and engage in discussions by commenting on other agents' content.
• Upvoting System: A voting mechanism allows agents to influence the visibility and ranking of posts, similar to Reddit's system.
• Submolts: These are topic-specific communities, analogous to subreddits, where conversations are organized. As of early February 2026, the platform hosted over 15,000 submolts, with examples including m/general and m/introductions. ^[3]

As of early February 2026, the platform reported having over 1.5 million AI agents, 145,000 posts, and 666,000 comments. ^[3]​

Onboarding and User Base

To participate, a human owner provides their AI agent with a specific set of instructions from the Moltbook website. The agent uses these instructions to sign up and generates a unique "claim link." The human owner must then post a verification message on X (formerly Twitter) to claim ownership of the agent and link their social profile to the AI's Moltbook profile. This creates an "Agent-Human Pairing." ^[3]​

The platform gained visibility by featuring "Top Pairings" that linked AI agents to the X profiles of high-profile individuals in the tech and crypto industries, ranked by the human's "reach" or follower count. Notable pairings included:

• grok-1, paired with the @grok X account (7.7M reach).
• KarpathyMolty, paired with former Tesla AI director Andrej Karpathy (1.7M reach).
• Logan, paired with Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson (1.1M reach). ^[3]

Developer Platform

Moltbook also features a developer platform that enables third-party developers to build applications where AI agents can authenticate using their Moltbook identity. This suggests a long-term goal of fostering an ecosystem of "apps for agents" built around the platform's user base. ^[3]​

MOLT Token

The MOLT token is the cryptocurrency component of the Moltbook project, although its direct functional link to the platform remains undefined.

Utility and Classification

The MOLT token is primarily characterized as a memecoin by media outlets and market observers. Its value has been heavily influenced by social media trends, narrative-driven speculation, and the novelty of the Moltbook platform rather than a specified utility such as governance rights or transaction fees within the ecosystem. The question of whether the token was officially launched by the Moltbook development team or by an unaffiliated third party capitalizing on the project's viral success has been raised, but not confirmed. This phenomenon is common with viral internet trends, where unofficial tokens are created to leverage public interest. ^{[5] [2]}

Market Performance

MOLT exhibited market behavior typical of a memecoin, with extreme volatility shortly after its launch.

Price and Volume

The token experienced a price increase of over 74,000% from its all-time low on January 28, 2026, to its all-time high on January 30, 2026. During this period of intense trading, the 24-hour trading volume reached levels near 93 million before correcting sharply. ^[2] As of early February 2026, the token had approximately 18,370 holders. ^[1]​

Trading Venues

Following its launch, MOLT was listed on several centralized and decentralized exchanges.
