What is Litecoin Mascot?
Litecoin Mascot (LESTER) is a Solana memecoin launched in November 2024 around a stick-figure character named Lester, after Litecoin's X account joked that it identified as a memecoin.
Litecoin Mascot, traded under the ticker LESTER, is a community memecoin on Solana with no product, roadmap, or utility. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Litecoin project, foundation, or development team.
The token grew out of a viral moment: Litecoin's official X account posted that it now "identifies as a memecoin," and the popular meme account Greg drew a simple stick figure with the Litecoin logo as its head and named it "Lester." Community traders then launched the LESTER token on pump.fun.
