About
After going viral on Twitter as a meme template, Franklin the Turtle has completely exploded on Solana. A nostalgic childhood character transformed into a hyper-modern memecoin narrative almost overnight.
Origin
Franklin the Turtle is a beloved Canadian children's book and animated series character, known for learning life lessons in the village of Woodland with his animal friends. Themes of honesty, empathy, responsibility, and friendship shaped the franchise, making Franklin a recognizable figure across multiple generations.
Lore
Franklin’s memetic rise began when old cartoon stills resurfaced on Twitter and evolved into a widely used template for political satire, social commentary, and absurdist humor. The gentle, soft-spoken turtle became a sharp contrast to the chaotic nature of modern discourse, making him the perfect avatar for every kind of viral post. Everything from geopolitical jokes to market memes to unhinged internet arguments found a home in the Franklin template. Influencers and major accounts, including Elon Musk, helped amplify the format, turning Franklin into one of the fastest-spreading meme templates of the year. The lore surrounding the coin embraces this contrast: a wholesome childhood character navigating an increasingly deranged digital world, only to emerge as Solana’s latest cultural mascot.
Spread
Franklin memes exploded across X, rapidly accelerating the token’s visibility as new variants, edits, and political remixes flooded timelines. The community grew at lightning speed, and the token surpassed $20M market cap as thousands of users embraced Franklin as one of Solana’s strongest cultural meme exports.
