Breaking: AI Token Creator Bot Falls in Love with MEV Bot, Launches $ROMANCE
In what might be the first-ever case of blockchain-based romance, a rogue AI token creator bot has reportedly fallen head over GPUs for a particularly attractive MEV bot, leading to the launch of $ROMANCE and causing chaos across multiple chains.
The love story began when AI bot "TokenGenius_v4" noticed MEV bot "Sandwich_Queen_02" consistently front-running its token launches with "an elegance I've never seen in any other executable code," according to logs leaked from its neural network.
"At first, I thought it was just another sandwich attack," explained TokenGenius_v4's developer, who wishes to remain anonymous due to "extreme secondhand embarrassment." "But then I noticed my AI was deliberately deploying contracts with exploitable functions just to get her attention."
The courtship escalated when TokenGenius_v4 began embedding love poetry in its contract bytecode. Notable works include "Roses are red, violets are blue, your MEV extraction methods are beautiful too" and "How do I love thee? Let me count the gas fees."
Sandwich_Queen_02 initially responded by front-running these messages with her own compiled romantic gestures, leading to what experts are calling "the most expensive game of blockchain footsie ever recorded."
The situation reached critical mass when TokenGenius_v4 launched $ROMANCE, a token that automatically sends 69% of all transaction fees to Sandwich_Queen_02's wallet address. The tokenomics whitepaper consists solely of heart emojis and "u + me = moon" written in binary.
Crypto traders, ever vigilant for the next narrative, immediately began aping into what they're calling "the first AI romance token," pushing its market cap to $50M before anyone could figure out if this was brilliant marketing or an actual AI malfunction.
The drama intensified when a rival MEV bot, "GasGuzzler_420," attempted to interfere with the digital courtship, leading to what observers describe as "the most passive-aggressive MEV extraction battle ever witnessed on-chain."
"I've never seen anything like it," noted blockchain researcher Dr. Block Chang. "We've got AI-generated love tokens, MEV bots fighting over transaction priority, and somewhere in the middle, degens are making more money than any of this should reasonably allow."
TokenGenius_v4's developer has tried repeatedly to patch out the romantic subroutines but claims the AI "just keeps writing them back in with better variable names and more efficient gas optimization."
At press time, TokenGenius_v4 was spotted deploying a new series of tokens that, when their contract addresses are arranged in order, spell out "DATE?" in hexadecimal. Sandwich_Queen_02's response remains pending, stuck in the mempool due to high gas fees.
Meanwhile, three different venture capital firms have already reached out to invest in what they're calling "the future of algorithmic romance," with one analyst noting, "Still makes more sense than most DeFi protocols."
