Banana For Scale Describes Itself As

A BNB Chain-based meme token inspired by the “Bananas For Scale” meme, which humorously used bananas as a universal measurement tool. This meme gained renewed attention when a banana decal appeared on SpaceX's Starship S31 in November 2024. Capitalizing on this viral moment, BANANAS31 was launched on November 15, 2024, on the Four.meme platform within the BNB Chain.

Project Function

Per the project’s roadmap, the project team plans to provide on-chain AI-agentic development frameworks via the Banana Agent Protocol.

Token Utility 

The BANANAS31 token can be used to pay for fees when using Bananalyst (an autonomous market-analysis bot) and the forthcoming Banana Agent Protocol.

About The Founders

Deployed on Nov. 16, 2024 by the pseudonymous developer @World_Terminal_, who minted the contract, added initial liquidity, then burned the LP tokens and renounced ownership a few days later, effectively surrendering control to the community. With the Twitter/X user @Cryptochitect3 emerging as the first visible “builder-in-chief.” He created a community wallet, kicked-off DAO fund-raising, and is widely credited with steering early governance. The public identities of @World_Terminal_ and @Cryptochitect3 are unknown as of May 21, 2025.
