THE FIRST CAT ON THE BLOCKCHAIN (that's the lore, and we love it)
THE BITCOIN CAT
FINALLY TRADES AGAINST BITCOIN.
LAUNCHING ON PONS.

Back in early Bitcoin, the network's hashpower crossed a number so big people started calling it "one exaflop". Someone opened MS Paint, drew a terrible red cat directly on a Bitcoin network stats page, and called it Exaflopcat.
That's it. That's the whole origin. Big number, bad analogy, internet joke, cat, history.
Honest note: "First Cat on the Blockchain" is our slogan and lore, not a claim that this was literally the first cat picture ever linked to Bitcoin. The proof we show is the old network-stat screenshot, the doodle drawn on it, the Reddit thread that documented it, and the exaflop joke itself.
cat
cat + hat
cat with job
cat with money
cat w/ sunglasses
cat w/ everything
Crypto has launched:
But Exaflopcat comes from a completely different era. Before:
there was just:
BITCOIN. A NETWORK STATS PAGE. AND SOMEONE DRAWING A STUPID RED CAT ON IT.
THAT'S EXAFLOPCAT.

THIS IS WHY THE PAIR IS cbBTC.
WE DIDN'T FORCE THE PAIR.
WE FINISHED THE STORY.
WHAT IS EXAFLOPCAT'S ORIGINAL LORE ABOUT?
BITCOIN.
WHAT IS THE ORIGINAL SCREENSHOT SHOWING?
BITCOIN.
WHAT NETWORK STATS ARE BESIDE THE CAT?
BITCOIN.
WHAT DOES cbBTC REPRESENT?
BITCOIN BROUGHT ONCHAIN THROUGH COINBASE'S WRAPPED BTC.
WHAT DOES PONS LET US DO?
PAIR MEMES DIRECTLY WITH ASSETS.
SO:
THE BITCOIN CAT PAIRED WITH BITCOIN.
cbBTC is Coinbase's wrapped Bitcoin. Coinbase does not endorse, sponsor or have anything to do with $EXAFLOPCAT.
TOOK LONG ENOUGH.
FLOP =
FLOATING POINT OPERATIONS PER SECOND
A way of measuring how much maths a supercomputer does.
BITCOIN MINING =
HASHING
A totally different kind of maths. Not the supercomputer kind.
So "Bitcoin is running at X FLOPS" was never really a clean comparison — mining doesn't do normal floating-point work at all. That technical weirdness is exactly why the meme belongs to early Bitcoin culture.
Big number. Bad analogy. Internet joke. Cat. History.
BITCOIN
EXAFLOPCAT
PERFECTLY BALANCED.
$EXAFLOPCAT
PAIRED ON
PONS
cbBTC
The entire Exaflopcat meme was born from Bitcoin network lore. Now PONS lets the meme trade directly against Bitcoin.
THE CAT AND THE BLOCKCHAIN FINALLY IN ONE PAIR.
CATPOWER:
100%
MEOWS / SECOND: 1,000,000,000,000
HASHRATE: VERY FAST
BTC: YES
TECHNICAL ACCURACY: QUESTIONABLE
LORE: MAXIMUM
NETWORK STATUS: CAT ONLINE.
EXAFLOPCAT TPS:
1,000,000,000,000
source: trust the cat (this is a meme, not a Bitcoin statistic)
They say Exaflopcat can process ONE TRILLION transactions per second. That's faster than a million supercomputers! (It cannot. It is a cat.)
The old Reddit thread where the hashpower crossed "1 exaflop" and someone posted a drawing of a cat:
