The pill bug watched the dinosaurs show up. It watched them leave. It was the first animal that ever let you hold it. Now it's a coin.
Every other coin is trying to be new. We're the opposite bet. The pill bug predates every chain, every token, every one of us — and it's still under the same rock it's always been under.
Everyone remembers the same afternoon. A rock in the backyard, and something underneath it that rolled into a ball and let you pick it up.
Most of what goes wrong in this corner of the internet goes wrong quietly. So this page stays public and stays current — including the parts that aren't flattering.
Most projects describe what they're planning as though it already exists. So here's the honest version, laid out below — and only the first block is part of Pill Bug today.
$PBUG is the live community on Solana. That's where the work happens and where the system is trained and proven. Pill Bug is the assistant being built inside it: one conversation in Telegram that helps you run a business, lead a team, manage marketing, organize projects and drive the tools you already use. It isn't publicly released yet.
Running inside the $PBUG community today.
The only part of Pill Bug that exists today.
Being built and tested now. Not available yet.
In development, not a public product yet. Anything under “further out” is direction, not a promise.
The trading bot already exists and runs on its own. What we're building is the connection to Pill Bug — and the controls that sit around it.
The trading bot is real and already running. It is a separate product with its own controls — $PBUG does not build it, operate it, or hold your funds.
What we're building is the bridge: how Pill Bug talks to it, how permissions and limits get set, and how funds move. That work is underway, and it is the reason none of the above is switched on yet.
When it is ready, you connect it yourself and set every rule before anything can act — approvals, spending limits, a kill switch, and the ability to disconnect at any time. Automated trading always carries a risk of loss, and where it is available depends on local law. None of this is financial advice.
Since this page is about what's true, here are the parts that aren't figured out.
We're working on burn tokenomics — $PBUG spent on AI credits gets burned rather than recycled back in. The mechanics aren't settled: rates, timing, how credits are metered. So there's nothing to announce yet beyond the direction.
A lot of this community isn't in the US or Europe. Pricing that feels ordinary in one country is out of reach in another, and a tool only half the internet can afford isn't the tool we want to build. That's an open problem and we're treating it as one, not as an afterthought.
New to this? That's fine — most people here were too. Take it slow, and never paste a contract address from anywhere but this page or our official accounts.
Install Phantom on your phone or browser. Write your recovery phrase on paper. Never type it into anything, ever.
Buy Solana on any exchange and send it to your Phantom address. Keep a little extra for fees.
Go to pump.fun, connect Phantom, and paste the contract address from the top of this page into the search.
Confirm it reads Pill Bug / $PBUG and the address matches exactly. Then swap. Welcome under the rock.
The only rule that matters: the contract address comes from this website or @pbugcoin. Nowhere else. Not a DM, not a reply, not a helpful stranger. Nobody on the team will ever message you first.
