Happy Half-Hegeversary! A look back at 6 months of $HEGE...

Six months ago, HegeCoin ($HEGE) was just an idea, and today we celebrate its rise to prominence on the Solana network. Let’s take a walk down memory lane to see how this memecoin defied the odds and achieved incredible success.

Looking back at 6 months of HegeCoin

March 24: It all started with a simple Reddit post on the Solana subreddit. Our dev, with no budget, no experience, and no connections, asked for help launching a coin. The project had no name at the time, and while some doubted (“sorry to destroy your dreams”), interest grew quickly.

March 25: The Presale The next day, we launched the website and presale, raising $32K in two weeks and growing our community to 150 Hegends. This was the start of something special, and the team began to take shape.

April 5: $HEGE officially launched with a 60K market cap, after a heroic struggle through Solana’s network congestion. In just a few hours, $HEGE soared to $2.2M in market cap before some healthy profit-taking brought us down to $250K. The journey had just begun!

April 20: Times Square, baby! $HEGE hit the big leagues with a billboard in Times Square, New York. Some of our Hegends even went to see it in person and showed off their dedication to the community.

April 25: ATH of $7.75M! Days after the Times Square moment, $HEGE pumped to an all-time high of $7.75M. We were on fire! 🔥

May 2: $HEGE got its well-deserved listing on CoinMarketCap, without paying for fast-tracking. We also announced our partnership with PAAL AI, introducing a hilarious AI chatbot in our Telegram community.

May 20: The Friends of Hege fundraiser kicked off, raising over $20K in the first 8 hours, and going on to raise over $250K towards marketing and future CEX listings. Our community came through in a big way!

May 31: Back in Times Square for round two! HegeCoin kept its name in lights with another billboard, this time highlighting the cast of characters (with a big enough screen for Helena)

May to June: Our first big consolidation phase. The market cap danced around the $5M mark struggling to break through, while we battled with a “friendly” whale manipulating the chart and selling during key times and marketing pushes.

June 5: The whale finally exited, and the chart bounced back, proving HegeCoin’s resilience.
