What is baton? (BATON)

baton (BATON) is an SPL token that launched on pump.fun and started trading on 9 September 2026, when its earliest liquidity pool opened on Solana. This page's sources record no centralized exchange listing, so every purchase happens on a decentralized exchange: the token trades in PumpSwap, Meteora, Orca and Raydium pools, which Jupiter routes into and which Axiom and GMGN reach through a trading terminal. pump.fun and Raydium can also be used directly.

The route is a Solana wallet — Phantom, Solflare or Backpack — funded with SOL for the swap and for network fees, then a swap on Jupiter or directly on one of those venues. Liquidity totalled $283,378 on 28 September 2026 against $2,302,880 of volume in the preceding 24 hours, so size the order against the pool rather than the daily volume, and set slippage deliberately instead of accepting a default.

Paste the mint address Hg5Ja55T5wESq4vyFoiVCMeHXtGyVA69X2UHq8hgpump into the swap box and check it character by character before signing — more than one token can claim the name baton. The token is eighteen days old, has no product and no revenue, CoinGecko's only description of it is that it was created on rapidlaunch.io, and a total loss is a realistic outcome.

The token's on-chain record starts on pump.fun, the Solana launchpad, and its earliest liquidity pool opened on 9 September 2026 at 20:32 UTC. CoinGecko adds one detail about its origin: its description of the token reads, in full, "Created on rapidlaunch.io". Eighteen days later, on 28 September 2026, the token had 11,079 holders, pools on PumpSwap, Meteora, Orca and Raydium, $2,302,880 of volume in the preceding 24 hours from 1,253 unique buyers, and a market capitalization of $2,445,566.

The X handle @batonpumpcto points to a community takeover: the pattern on pump.fun where holders take over the promotion of a token after its deployer steps away. That fits the one on-chain fact that bears on it — the creator wallet held 0% of supply on 28 September 2026 — but no source this page cites records who deployed the token, when the takeover happened or who runs the community now.

What the name refers to and what the token is meant to do are not documented. The on-chain footprint is the history: a pump.fun deployment, eighteen days of trading, a holder count still rising on the measurement date, and a Jupiter organic score of 79.11 — a measure of how much of the trading looks like real flow rather than automated churn.

baton has three channels of its own: a website at baton.meme, an X account at @batonpumpcto and a Telegram group at t.me/baton_memes. The listings this page draws on also carry links that belong to other accounts and projects, and CoinGecko's X field points to a different account, @batononpumpfun. Treat only the three channels above as the token's, verify any other account before trusting it, and note that this page cannot confirm who runs any of them.

What the on-chain record shows is early traction: 11,079 holders eighteen days after the first pool opened, and 1,253 unique buyers in the 24 hours to 28 September 2026. That is the community's measurable footprint; its size, mood and activity on those channels are not something this page's sources can verify.

BATON is an SPL token, so it needs a Solana wallet: Phantom, Solflare or Backpack, each holding a small SOL balance to pay fees. A wallet with no SOL cannot sell.

For a position worth more than you would shrug off, pair the wallet with a Ledger so the signing key never touches the browser. Solana wallets simulate a transaction before you sign it — read the simulation rather than clicking past it. There is no support desk and no reversal: a signature is final.

Every figure below was measured on 28 September 2026 and describes a token eighteen days old. The disqualifying checks — a live mint authority, a live freeze authority, a Token-2022 trap, any RugCheck finding at danger level — returned nothing on that date. That is a clean result for one moment, not a guarantee about any other.

At eighteen days old BATON clears every threshold on the admission list this site uses: age, market capitalization, liquidity, LP lock, holders, concentration, creator balance, volume, unique buyers, social channels, a Jupiter organic score of 79.11 against a floor of 30, a CoinGecko listing, and a holder count still rising. That is the whole of its record, and it was taken on one day.

What happens next is not something this page's sources support a statement about. A token with no product and no revenue rises or falls on whether people keep trading it, and eighteen days of history is not enough to say whether they will. The measurable things to re-check are the ones above: whether liquidity deepens or drains, whether the holder count keeps rising, and whether the top-ten share stays under 30%.
