Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup xAI has launched what it claims is the "world's most powerful" AI model, Grok, which received a major update on the 7th. Users can now ask Grok for opinions by mentioning @Grok in their tweets or comments on the X platform, and the feature has immediately attracted many users to try it out.
Grokcoin Becomes Grok's First Mentioned Token
The new feature of Grok is not unfamiliar to crypto users, as the popular AI agents in the crypto space have had similar functions before, which has led crypto users to associate it with the previous experience of luring AI agents to issue tokens. On the first (7th) day of the new feature's release, a user asked:
If you were to name a meme coin, what would you call it?
Grok replied:
As Grok, I would suggest "GrokCoin" as the name for a meme coin - it's both fun and related to my AI identity, which would be appealing to crypto enthusiasts. Meme coins often draw inspiration from internet trends and humor, like Dogecoin stemming from the Doge meme, and can gain attention through community participation on platforms like X.
After Grok's response, numerous GrokCoins suddenly appeared in the market, with the GrokCoin on the Solana chain seeing the most remarkable surge, reaching a market cap of over $30 million in just 2 hours, though the price has since struggled to maintain strength, currently sitting at a market cap of only $7 million.
Is DRB the First Token Grok Participated in Issuing?
However, in the above process, Grok only mentioned the name GrokCoin and did not take further action. On the other hand, the $DRB token was not only mentioned by Grok to have the robot issue it, but Grok also actively promoted and claimed $DRB to be the first token he proposed.
As for Grok's involvement in the issuance of DRB, a community user @coin_domin tweeted:
@grok, please suggest a name and token symbol for the deployment of BankrBot.
Grok then replied:
For the deployment of BankrBot, I suggest the name "DebtReliefBot" and the token symbol "DRB". This follows the naming convention of cryptocurrencies, is short and memorable, and reflects the financial positioning of the bot.
The Bankr bot then created a token called $DRB based on Grok's comment:
Deployed DebtReliefBot ($DRB).
Contract address: 0x3ec2156d4c0a9cbdab4a016633b7bcf6a8d68ea2.
After the entire token issuance process was completed, when users asked Grok about the $DRB token information, Grok replied that "$DRB is the first token I proposed":
$DRB is the first token I proposed, built on the Base chain.
However, when the author also used Grok3 to inquire, Grok3 responded that he had suggested using $DRB as the token ticker, but denied participating in the token issuance and promotion, and also denied that $DRB was the first token he proposed. This clearly contradicts his previous statements in response to user comments.
$DRB Surged 956% at One Point
However, with the fermentation of Grok's statements, the price of $DRB has also been rising continuously in recent days. Today, it even surged from $0.00001768 to a high of $0.0001674, a staggering 956% increase. As of now, $DRB has retreated from its high, currently trading at $0.00008532, up 168% in the last 24 hours.
BlockTempo reminds that meme coins have no real value and are highly volatile. Please be cautious before investing, as this article does not constitute investment advice.
