The Ansem case

It started as a joke on someone else's terms. An anonymous dev minted a coin and airdropped 650M tokens straight to Ansem's wallet — naming the whole thing after him, hoping he'd notice.

He noticed. Instead of dumping the bag or ignoring it, Ansem embraced the coin and did the thing almost no creator does: he pledged to take the Pump.fun creator fees the token generated and hand them back to holders — "stimmy for the trenches."

And he actually did it. Fees are claimed into his collection wallet, forwarded to his airdrop wallet, and sprayed back out as SOL to the people holding — $11M+ redistributed and climbing, with a stated target of reaching 1,000,000 holders. One creator turned "creator fees" from a quiet exit into a public dividend.

Everyone else pockets. That contrast is the entire reason STIMMY exists — to make "who actually pays back" provable, not vibes.
