A TEAM LET
DEVIN BUILD.
A Cognition post described a hackathon team using Devin to build and launch a crypto token on Solana.
That hackathon moment is the origin of $DEVIN's community meme.
One hackathon prompt. One AI builder. One community meme token.
Cognition’s hackathon postMAKE A MEMECOIN.
LET DEVIN COOK.
The community’s origin story begins on May 5, 2024, at Stanford: students get early access to Cognition’s Devin, and one team gives the AI engineer an unexpected assignment. Here’s how the community tells it.
The prompt.
A student team asks Devin to make a memecoin. Not a pitch. Not a list of names. A token people could actually trade.
Devin gets to work.
In this account, Devin operates the computer, heads to pump.fun, and creates a token named $devin — carrying the task through without further human help.
The AI starts posting.
The story continues with Devin creating a Twitter account and posting autonomously. The account is later suspended. The meme, apparently, had other plans.
The community picks it up.
A builder becomes the meme. The community carries the story forward through art, posts, and one very simple idea: let Devin cook.
THE POSTS BEHIND THE STORY
Cognition’s post describes the token-building experiment; the fuller origin story above is the community’s account.
