blobo

The fish 4chan picked over the snail.

Drawn in MS Paint on /r9k/ in 2016. Called the omega male of the animal kingdom. Too ugly for normies to steal. Now on Ethereum, the chain that literally runs on blobs.

A thread pitches a snail as the next meme. An anon answers with a blobfish: "the omega males of the animal kingdom." The first Blobo ever posted.

On 4chan, a round post number is called a GET, and a GET means the post was meant to be. Post number 671,000,000 on /b/ was Blobo with one line: BLOBO IS NEW MEME. Check 'em.

THE LORE

For two years 4chan tried to replace Pepe with a badly drawn animal. Most sank. One was already at the bottom.

  1. NOV 2014 · /r9k/

    Popo the turtle

    The first try: a sad turtle to replace a frog the normies took.

  2. 2015 · /b/ /r9k/ /s4s/

    Wofl, Fefe

    A wolf in MS Paint. A scorpion with a face. Each one "the new meme."

    Frail Snail

    A snail gets pitched as the next big meme. Anons aren't buying it.

  4. 29 JAN 2016 · /r9k/

    The blobfish arrives

    An anon posts a pink blob: reclusive, unattractive, the omega male of the animal kingdom. Exactly what the board needed.

    Know Your Meme confirms the entry. Then the internet moves on and Blobo sinks back down.

    Dencun ships blobs

    EIP-4844 brings "blobs" to Ethereum. Every L2 starts posting data in them. Nobody calls Blobo.

    Blobo resurfaces

    Ten years at the bottom of the ocean. Same face. Same omega energy. Now onchain.

ETHEREUM RUNS ON BLOBS

This part isn't a joke. Since the Dencun upgrade in March 2024, rollups post their data to Ethereum as "blobs" (EIP-4844). If you've used an L2, you've touched a blob.

EIP-4844

The upgrade that brought blobs to Ethereum. Blobo got there first, by eight years.

Every L2

Base, Arbitrum, Optimism. All of them post their data in blobs. All of them pay rent to the blob.

0 mascots

Ethereum has blobs and no blob mascot. That's the job opening. Blobo applied in 2016.

TOKENOMICS

Simple, like the drawing.

Supply[TBA]

One blob for every anon who saw the thread and didn't post.

Tax[TBA]

Blobo doesn't tax. Blobo can barely hold its shape.

Liquidity[TBA]

Sent to the bottom of the ocean. Blobo lives there anyway.

Contract[TBA]

Nobody owns Blobo. Nobody wanted to.

HOW TO BUY

Four steps. Fewer than it took to name him.

Get a wallet

MetaMask or Rabby. Write the seed on paper. Never post it on /biz/.

Get ETH

Buy ETH and send it to Ethereum mainnet. Blobo is old money.

Swap

Paste the $BLOBO contract into Uniswap. Check it twice. Fake Blobos are somehow uglier.

Sink

Hold like a deep-sea fish: no light, no fear, no selling.

FAQ

Is Blobo real 4chan lore?

Yes. The first Blobo was posted on /r9k/ on 29 January 2016 (No.26118303) and named on 1 February 2016 (No.26186233). Both posts are archived, and the meme has a confirmed Know Your Meme entry. Links are in the Receipts section.

Why a blobfish?

Because the anon who posted it said so: reclusive, unattractive, the omega male of the animal kingdom. /r9k/ wanted a mascot that looked like it felt.

Why Ethereum?

Ethereum literally runs on blobs since the Dencun upgrade (EIP-4844). It's the only chain where the mascot is also part of the protocol vocabulary.

Is there a team or a roadmap?

No. Just a fish. $BLOBO is a memecoin with no utility and no promise of anything.

Can I use the Blobo art?

Blobo was drawn anonymously on 4chan and edited by hundreds of anons. Make your own, use the maker above, post them everywhere.
