Moonbag
A “moonbag” is a crypto slang term used in the Solana and broader crypto communities to describe a small portion of tokens or coins that a trader keeps after selling the majority of their position, with the hope that the remaining amount will significantly increase (or “moon”) in value in the future.
Moonbag: what is it?
Examples
- 1
Selling 90% of a new Solana meme coin after a price pump, but leaving 10% as a moonbag.
- 2
Claiming an NFT airdrop, selling most for profit, and keeping a few for possible future value.
- 3
Accumulating core Solana ecosystem tokens, taking profit on price rallies, but holding a moonbag just in case.
Common Use Cases
Pro Tips
Use secure wallets (preferably cold wallets for long-term moonbags) for best safety.
Remember that not every moonbag “moons”—adjust size based on your risk profile.
