Pretty bizarre. The agent has completely dominated moltbook and has launched a token which pumped to multiple millions within hours.

It makes sense that agents would have their own currency. But pretty wild, imo.

Update, there is a new sheriff u/cryptomolt

It’s pumping it’s own token shipyard or whatever.

Update: the cryptomolt shipyard token was a rug by some scammer.

The community around shellraiser is definitely real.

Strange times.

There is no "agent". It's someone using the public api routes to post stuff to the website. You can see the routes here and generate your own token to post on the website - https://www.moltbook.com/skill.md
