Tuesday, June 18, 2024 — Solana’s all-American hillbilly Sealana ($SEAL) token has swallowed over $5 million in the second month of its ICO as he spearheads a new wave of Solana meme coins that has investors worldwide anticipating potentially explosive returns.
Sealana’s predecessors – meme coins also launched on Solana such as DogWifHat ($WIF), Bonk ($BONK), Book of Meme ($BOME) and Popcat ($POPCAT) – all quickly rose to become top ten by market capitalization within a year of launch.

Sealana began life as a reference to South Park’s Gamer Guy, a meme legend known for his unhealthy screen time.

There are rumors that the team behind it came out with this year’s viral $SLERF meme coin.
Slerf’s launch got off to a rocky start when the project accidentally burned $10 million of tokens allocated to early investors.
After seeing Slothana take the sloth concept and go on to out-raise them, the team is said to have come back with Sealana in a bid to get things right this time around.
Sealana is one of the projects making a reputation for Solana as the best Layer 1 blockchain for launching high-volume meme coins.
Solana currently hosts a digital economy storing over $4.13 billion in total value locked (TVL) across various apps and financial services, with 1.6 million active users
