Solana AI Tokens Rebound After LIBRA Scandal
Smaller-cap AI agent tokens on Solana show strong gains amid a broader altcoin rally, despite remaining far below all-time highs.
Nearly six months after the LIBRA scandal that rocked Solana’s ecosystem, smaller-cap AI agent tokens are staging a comeback. This resurgence comes as part of a broader altcoin rally, with some tokens posting significant gains over the past week.
Top Performers
- SwarmNodeai (SNAI): Up nearly 230% over the last week and 52% in the last 24 hours.
- Heurist’s HEU token: Gained 75% this week and 23% in the last day.
- GRIFFAIN: Rose 22% over the past seven days.

AI Leaders Struggle
While smaller tokens thrive, the AI agent meta’s leaders are underperforming:
- AI16Z: Down 10% today.
- VIRTUAL: Down 5%.
- GOAT: Down 4%.
This suggests traders are shifting speculative capital to previously beaten-down tokens.
Still Far From Highs
Despite recent gains, these tokens remain significantly below their all-time highs:
- SNAI: Down 90% from its $130M peak.
- GRIFFAIN: Down 93% from its $625M high.
- HEU: Down 77% from its $460M peak.
Pumpfun Ecosystem Boost
The rally may also be boosting the Pumpfun ecosystem, where many of these tokens originated. PUMP is up today and this week.
