Solana’s well-known meme-coin trader Ansem (real name Zion Thomas, X handle blknoiz06) opened the official ANSEM meme-coin airdrop claim page under the social trading platform BullpenFi that he co-founded. The page went live nearly 12 hours ago: ANSEM’s market cap has doubled and surged past $350 million. The number of holder addresses has exceeded 100,000, and Ansem personally still holds 65% of the token supply. (Backgrounder: Has Solana fallen into a “short-term celebrity coin frenzy”? ANSEM’s market cap breaks $160 million, but the deployer is the real winner.) (Additional context: Ansem posted a long thread to clear the air: he controls the ANSEM supply to prevent a dump, and vows to direct traffic to quality projects.) Key summary: The ANSEM airdrop opened nearly 12 hours ago, and the market cap doubled to over $350 million. BullpenFi does not distribute the airdrop evenly; instead, it allocates tokens based on scores generated by BullpenFi. According to Ansem’s own posts, holders who keep an active X presence and link their account to BullpenFi may receive the next airdrops. BullpenFi’s claim dashboard tracks how long you’ve held, how much you hold, your trading volume, and how much your posts were exposed; it combines these metrics to give more weight to active users. Bot wallets and dust-farming accounts (accounts that generate volume via many small wallets) are assigned lower weight. In short, the scoring mainly looks at four dimensions: Holding duration: how long your position has lasted after linking your BullpenFi account Position size: how many ANSEM tokens you actually hold in your wallet Trading activity: your real trading volume on BullpenFi Post exposure: the frequency of your X posts and impression performance. Ansem did not publish the exact algorithm—only that it’s “smart distribution.” The airdrop is not given to everyone, and it’s not purely random; it favors genuinely active users. Behind this statement is a clear incentive structure. BullpenFi is co-founded by Ansem, and its backers include Delphi Digital, 6thman Ventures, Spartan Group, as well as Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko and Raj Gokal. It is a multi-chain trading terminal that integrates Jupiter Ultra, Hyperliquid (perps and spot), whale tracking, and community sharing. Nonstop call-to-action catchphrases: As soon as the claim page launched, Ansem began urging people on X in a chain of posts, sparking massive engagement. He said, “A week, 100,000 holding addresses—this creates history,” and also wrote, “Save the trenches,” and said, “It’s time to act,” adding, “Fasten your seatbelt—this is about to take off.” These are Ansem’s personal shilling lines, but they were indeed effective. The publicly stated goal for this airdrop is to increase ANSEM holders from about 25,000 to 1 million. The 100,000 addresses are just the first milestone—and they are numbers Ansem himself claimed. “A week, 100,000 holding addresses creates history.” “Fasten your seatbelt—this is about to take off.” Behind the 100,000 addresses, 65% of the chips are still held by one person. On the lively side, the concentration risk remains the biggest concern. At one point, Ansem’s ANSEM position was worth nearly $200 million, and initially he received 65% of the total supply. This was not a token he created himself. ANSEM was created by an anonymous developer, who then airdropped about 65% of the supply to Ansem’s wallet to draw attention; Ansem only took over and embraced the coin afterward. Since then, he has continued to airdrop 6.6% of the supply externally, worth about $11.22 million, but the vast majority still remains with him. In other words, one person holds over half the supply, is also the platform owner, and shills directly on his own platform—no matter how you look at it, this is home-court advantage. Risk warning: ANSEM is a high-risk meme coin with no fundamental support. Supply is highly concentrated in the hands of a single person, liquidity is relatively thin, and the token price depends heavily on Ansem’s personal involvement and shilling.

The system will score you based on holding duration, position size, trading volume, and post exposure. Bot wallets and wash-volume accounts will be downweighted. It’s not for everyone, and it’s not purely random distribution. Why is the ANSEM token’s supply concentration risk being questioned? ANSEM’s initial distribution involved an anonymous developer airdropping about 65% of the supply to Ansem. Ansem later took over and embraced the coin. Even though he has since airdropped 6.6% externally, a single person still holds the vast majority of the tokens, making it the biggest concentration and dump risk.
