BAN (Comedian) is the memecoin of the duct-taped banana — Maurizio Cattelan's artwork that sold for millions and made "the banana on the wall" a global joke; the token is the market-traded version of that joke, a pump.fun-origin coin at mint 9PR7nCP9DpcUotnDPVLUBUZKu5WAYkwrCUx9wDnSpump. Our October 6, 2026 read shows $66.5 million market cap against $1.6 million of pool liquidity and 27,073 holders.
The honest shape: BAN is a real, widely-recognized meme — the artwork's buyer was Justin Sun, who ate it — but recognizability is the asset, not a moat. The market-cap-to-liquidity ratio (roughly 46:1) is the number that matters: the exit door is a small fraction of the paper value, which is the standard honest caveat for every meme at this size.
Figures are HostDeFi's read dated October 6, 2026; the scan refreshes them. Verify the mint — banana memes exist in multiples and only this contract is this one.
Balance concentration: the 10 largest token accounts hold 61.61% of BAN's supply as of 2026-08-19 — meaningful concentration; watch whether the large accounts are pools and lockers or free wallets. Note these are token accounts: liquidity pools, exchange wallets and lockers count among them, so read this together with liquidity, not instead of it.

FAQ
Is BAN a safe token?
As of the 2026-09-26 snapshot, BAN scores 100/100 (grade A) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on renounced mint authority, renounced freeze authority, liquidity of $1.56M and 27,073 holders, with the creator wallet holding <0.01% of supply. That grades contract and market structure, not price direction — a clean read is not a guarantee, so re-scan before trading, since on-chain state can change.
Can you sell BAN, or is it a honeypot?
On Solana, the lever that can block a sale is the freeze authority, and BAN's is renounced as of 2026-09-26 — no one can freeze your balance to trap you in. With $1.56M of liquidity there's a pool to sell into, though how cleanly depends on your size against that depth.
Who holds most of BAN?
The wallet that created BAN holds <0.01% of the supply as of 2026-09-26 — a small stake, under the 5% the scanners flag. That sits alongside a holder base of 27,073; a broad base lowers the odds that any one seller can steer the price, but the creator's share is the number to watch first.
Can BAN's supply be inflated?
No — the mint authority is renounced as of the 2026-09-26 snapshot, so no new supply can be created and the circulating figure is a ceiling.
What is the BAN contract address?
The BAN mint address on Solana is 9PR7nCP9DpcUotnDPVLUBUZKu5WAYkwrCUx9wDnSpump. Always verify a token by its contract address, not its name or ticker — scam clones copy tickers, but the address is unique.
Where can you buy BAN safely?
Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if BAN clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (9PR7nCP9DpcUotnDPVLUBUZKu5WAYkwrCUx9wDnSpump) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
