Hi @9yointern @JupiterExchange, I have problem with Jupiter verification of the Sci-Hub token () The token is a part of the open knowledge system that Sci-Hub is currently building. Even though the token was marked as Unverified in Jupiter, users were buying it regularly every day, because they could enter the token address manually, and then do the Swap. The number of users was small, but I hoped it will grow with time, as I continue to work on the project and implement new features. However, since yesterday the Sci-Hub token... cannot be swapped in wallets. Even if user enters the exact token address, the token will not be displayed. That happened in TipLink and Solflare wallets at least. I contacted Solflare support, and got a response that it has something to do with Jupiter verification system (that has recently been updated) I checked your website, where it is stated that token needs to have large organic volume in order to get verified. But how can it ever get organic volume, if it cannot be swapped in the first place? There must be a mistake, or a joke.

Dear Solana @solana, I received a letter from you yesterday, confirming that information about the token was updated. However, 24h after the update, only the token picture was updated, but URL of the Sci-Hub website () is still not showing, and the token is marked as unverified, despite being directly linked in the Donate section of the Sci-Hub project: Could you check on this again? I already reported the issue by email twice. The situation creates problems for Sci-Net users, making it harder to get Sci-Hub tokens with Solflare or Phantom wallets, because "unverified" token is not showing on the list (you have to enter the address manually) What is especially disappointing here, is that another Sci-Hub token, that is not affiliated to the project, is marked on Solscan as verified and pointing to the project website ( despite being completely unrelated to it. You can check yourself there are no mentions of this community-launched token on the Sci-Hub website. Could you please update the information on the Solscan website? Thank you!

ASTONISHING RESULT! Despite of all negative circumstances (FUD, betrayal of former Sci-Hub pseudo-community, general distrust of both meme coins and Sci-Hub) the new SCI coin has not crashed immediately to zero -- is still up and running after one week, keeping exchange rate of almost 0.5: The 0.5 rate is actually perfect if main purpose of the coin is to be considered (that is, supporting release of new research papers into Open Access) since it seems to be a justified reward for uploading one document. Some members of the Sci-Net community even wondered: what if the price of the coin grows, and eventually it will be easier to buy from the publisher website, than request a document on Sci-Net? No need to worry: in this case Sci-Net will implement support for decimals. Regardless of the price, the coin will continue to live and serve its purpose: making knowledge free.

A whitepaper describing the background, purpose and tokenomics of the Sci-Hub token (SCI) is now available on the website: The primary goal is to accelerate transition of science towards Open Access, by rewarding knowledge sharing. Sci-Hub token address:

A video tutorial on how to migrate to the new Sci-Hub coin address! To a much surprise, some member of the crypto community reacted to the update negatively, and made ridiculous accusations, such as I abandoned the project, and people are losing money because of that. Losing money claim: Sci-Hub coin was 0.4 when it was donated to Sci-Hub, by the end of January it became 0.004, and when I finally decided to make a move, it became 0.0008 !... Which means that everyone who could lose money here, already lost long time ago. Abandoning claim: Nobody force on this planet can force me to abandon the project. The Sci-Hub coin is not abandoned, but being evacuated to a better, more secure place, where it can get better treatment. While the token address changes, the project continues (Sci-Hub website itself has changed addresses many time) The video shows how you can do that using Solflare wallet browser extension. First, you need to get the new address of the token here: Then in the wallet, select Sci-Hub token, Swap, enter the new address and the amount you want to migrate, and click a button. Done! That is very easy. A common question: but what if I buy new Sci-Hub for a high price, then it drops and I lose? The question is weird. Why lose? You still have Sci-Hub tokens remaining in your wallet - the most precious thing for anyone who loves knowledge, regardless of the external price. Sci-Net project, that uses Sci-Hub tokens to support knowledge sharing, have already migrated to the new version of Sci-Hub tokens today, and I recommend other projects based on Sci-Hub to do that. The new version of the token is fully backward compatible, so the update process should pass easily, without causing any problems.

The update of the Sci-Hub token goes very well! You can check out the statistics at However, for some reason DEX Screener have linked old information and picture to the new address. I filed the complaint, and they requested to pin a tweet with the number in order to confirm. So here is that: 1750533279161

IMPORTANT Sci-Hub token will be updated soon. Context: in November, 2024 Sci-Hub received a large amount of donations in Sci-Hub meme coins. I sold only a small percentage of it, and kept the remaining amount in meme coins. I had a dream to launch Sci-Hub based coin since 2017, that could be used to support open science, so I hoped that it will be implemented with meme coin. However, meme coin did not grow as expected, and is currently dying. One of the reasons was that Sci-Hub supporters did not trust it, because it was donated by anonymous people, and not launched by the project itself, so there was some probability that funds could be stolen when the price of the token grows. To help the coin survive, I decided to create another address for Sci-Hub coin, that will be owned by the project itself, and move all funds here. This update can cause large fluctuations, so if you have some coins, I recommend you to move them to the new address without delay. The new address of the Sci-Hub token is the following: 2MaFszzCmpJqYPjVXsNytmiHfgckWbtBVq4WSoxjVGkf Having said that, I want to emphasize that Sci-Hub coin should be considered, first and foremost, as a donation to support open science, not as an investment tool. PS. The address of the meme coin is also updated on the website, so you can be sure the account was not hacked.

There is a new platform, Sci-Net () where researchers can help each other by providing paywalled papers. The platform builds upon Sci-Hub meme token $scihub to reward active members.

Something is holding me back I wonder, is it because I'm black? Somebody tell me what can I do Will I survive, or will I die? @elonmusk You keep on holding me back You keep on holding on You keep on picking on me You keep on holding me back You keep on holding on You keep on holding on You're holding me back I wonder why, you do me like that But you keep on holding me back You keep on putting your foot on me But I, I've got to break away Somehow and someday... @Sci_Hub
