What is Snail (SNAIL)?
Snail (symbol: SNAIL), also known as “a slow runner,” is a meme coin on the Solana blockchain. It runs a tongue-in-cheek narrative around “slow is fast,” even joking about whether it can “overtake Cheetah.” Despite its playful branding, the token has drawn real trading interest on Solana’s DEX scene.
- Token address: EG6WeiR2DymUVVjNHEU4MEJXmWnzXJhk3JerRy4gpump
- Decimals: 6
- Supply: ~1,000,000,000 SNAIL (fixed)

Some community notes mention a “community takeover” after an early team “rug,” followed by a crash and subsequent community-led revival. As with many meme tokens, details can vary across trackers, so always verify via explorers and official channels.

Market Snapshot
Because meme coins are highly speculative, different trackers often show different numbers for the same moment. In mid-August 2025, reported data for Snail spanned wide ranges:
- Price: from fractions of a cent up to about $0.00055, depending on the venue and pair (e.g., SNAIL/SOL vs. SNAIL/USDT), with some outliers likely due to data errors.
- Market cap/FDV: roughly $63K to ~$546K across sources.
- 24h volume: into the millions on some trackers, signaling strong short-term interest.
- Liquidity: ~$48.5K–$99K reported by different tools, which is modest relative to volume and can amplify slippage.

Quick glossary:
- Liquidity: The amount of tokens and SOL/USDC in the pool. Lower liquidity can mean more price impact for larger trades.
- FDV (Fully Diluted Valuation): Price times total supply. With fixed-supply meme coins, FDV often mirrors market cap.
Supply and Holders
- Circulating/Max supply: ~999,999,876.584285 SNAIL
- Holders: ~1,500–1,700 according to different trackers
- Concentration: Top 10 holders reportedly control ~16.45% (moderate concentration for a meme coin)
- “Sniper” wallets and dev/bundler ownership appear low in aggregate reports, but always re-check current holder maps (e.g., via Bubblemaps) before trading.

Community and Updates
As with many new meme coins, official social links may be sparse initially. Check:
- Token explorers (e.g., Solscan) for any listed socials
- Trading pages and DEX listings for pinned links
- Typical community hubs like X (Twitter) and Telegram for announcements
If you encounter “unverified” tags on trackers, that’s normal for fresh or smaller-cap tokens—treat it as a prompt to verify details independently.
Key Risks and Considerations
- High volatility: Intraday moves above 50% (and even triple-digit swings) have been reported. Only trade with amounts you can afford to risk.
- Modest liquidity: Pools under $100K can lead to heavy slippage on larger orders.
- Meme coin dynamics: Value is sentiment-driven and may lack fundamental utility.
- Limited transparency: Be cautious if there’s no whitepaper, roadmap, or clear team. Rely on on-chain data and credible analytics.
- Pump-and-dump risk: Rapid volume spikes can attract manipulative behavior.
- Conflicting data across trackers: Always cross-reference price, supply, and holder numbers before acting.
Practical tips:
- Use limit orders when available and test with small swaps to gauge slippage.
- Track holder concentration and recent large inflows/outflows.
- Prefer wallets and DEXs you trust; verify the exact token address.
