A misspelled token ticker tattooed on a user's forehead has turned into a tradable Solana memecoin worth more than $600,000. The incident stems from a new bounty feature on the Pump.fun platform.
A user posting as Arivu completed a Pump.fun GO bounty last week by tattooing the misspelled ticker “$boutywork” on his forehead and sharing video proof. He stated that he followed the instructions exactly as posted and wrote on X that he had given his life for the task. The typo itself became a market asset. A Solana token with the ticker BOUTYWORK launched on PumpSwap and reached a market cap above $600,000, with more than $3.5 million in 24-hour trading volume, 2,630 holders and roughly $43,000 in liquidity. Arivu later said he received $20,000 from trading fees tied to a related token. Pump.fun GO, announced last week, lets users create bounties for almost any task. Other active bounties included challenges such as eating watermelon in under 60 seconds, interviewing homeless people on camera in Los Angeles and shaving one's head while shouting a token name. The platform said it maintains an active moderation team that removes dark or malicious content.
