Умные боты нацелились на прибыль: как мем-коин JESSE от Джесси Поллака собрал 1,3 млн долларов Headline: Smart Bots Aim for Profit: How Jesse Pollaks Memecoin JESSE Gathered $1.3 Million

Two snipers made over $1.3 million in profit during the launch of the meme coin JESSE, created by Jesse Pollak, the founder of the L2 network Base. This was reported by analysts from Arkham Intelligence.

As part of the release, 500 million coins—half of the total supply—were allocated to a liquidity pool. Within that same block, buyers utilizing automated software purchased 261.7 million tokens.

Consequently, two users earned $707,700 and $619,600. One of them spent $191,000 to acquire 7.6% of the total JESSE issuance and additionally paid Base’s sequencer over $44,000 in priority fees to ensure an execution advantage for the transaction.

After selling the remaining tokens, the trader realized a profit of $600,000.

A critical element of the snipers’ operation was the Flashblocks system—a feature implemented in Base’s network in July, which reduced block creation time from two seconds to 200 milliseconds.

This mechanism enables automated bots to execute:

As a result, both transactions—the token release and its purchase—are conducted within a single on-chain block.

The creator of Base announced the launch of JESSE in November. The coin is not affiliated with Coinbase or the L2 network.

“This token is intended for cultural relaxation, more of a collectible than an investment. It grants no ownership rights or claims and shouldn’t be purchased with the expectation of profit,” Pollak explained in a separate video.

He emphasized that as a content creator, he has faced the «imperfections of existing systems» for years, where creators do not own their works, can be blocked at any time, and do not receive a fair share of the value they generate.

New solutions in the form of tokens for content creators aim to address this issue, according to Base’s founder.

“The tools are still not perfect. The best way to enhance them is to start using them. I will personally test new Base developments to see what works and what doesn’t,” he added.

Pollak also pointed out the persistent stigma around creator tokens and expressed hope that his personal example could attract other creators to Web3.

Since its launch, JESSE has increased in value by more than 400%. Its market capitalization reached $17.7 million, while the daily trading volume was $24.8 million.

It’s worth noting that in April, Base launched the content coin Base is for everyone, whose price sharply rose before plummeting. The project faced criticism from the community.
