Solana Memecoin OnlyMarms is Outraising OnlyFans Subscriptions for a Marmot Study

A Solana meme coin tied to a 64-year-old marmot study has outraised its own OnlyFans campaign in just days.

Researchers launched the OnlyFans page this spring after a major grant renewal fell through. A Pump.fun token followed soon after, and it now brings in more money for the project.

Where the Money Problem Started

The Marmot Adaptive Dynamics (M.A.D.) Lab at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL) tracks yellow-bellied marmots near Crested Butte, Colorado. It has continued since 1962, making it one of the longest wildlife studies in the world.

Daniel Blumstein, an ecology professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), runs the project. He told NPR that a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant denial had reduced their teaching assistants.

Julien Martin, a University of Ottawa professor who co-runs the study, later joined the fundraising push.
