What Is Grokcoin? How Is It Related to Elon Musk’s Grok AI?

2025-03-07 10:10

According to the market data from Gate.io, GROKCOIN has been listed on Gate.io Innovation Zone earlier today. GROKCOIN is currently priced at $0.0217, with a cumulative increase of 35% since listing. The total trading volume of GROKCOIN across all platforms has reached 115 million. The current circulating market cap of GROKCOIN is $22 million, with over $900,000 in on-chain liquidity pools.

GROKCOIN originated when a cryptocurrency user @Grok the official account under Musk’s repost “Just grok it” and asked him what name he would give to a meme coin, and Grok’s official tweet replied “As Grok, I suggest using ‘GrokCoin’ as the name of memecoin, which is both fun and related to my AI identity”.

What is Grok AI?

In November 2023, Elon Musk’s xAI company released the artificial intelligence model Grok, Grok AI is the first general artificial intelligence model that claims to have “rebellious thinking”. The project directly competes with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, but takes a differentiated technical path: by accessing the massive social data stream of X platform (formerly Twitter) in real time to build a dynamic cognitive framework. The literal meaning of Grok is derived from the science fiction classic “Stranger in a Strange Land”, meaning “deep empathetic understanding”, with three core breakthroughs:

  • Anti-traditional knowledge processing: the presets 5 personality modes (including ‘questioner’ and ‘ironist’), actively challenging the logical loopholes in user questions, rather than simply providing standard answers;
  • Real-time data engine: exclusively accessing 6 billion daily tweets on the X platform, compared to traditional AI relying on static databases, the response time to hot events is shortened to 2 minutes;
  • Multi-modal adversarial training: By simulating scenarios such as courtroom debates and business negotiations, the model improves its reasoning abilities in complex games, achieving a 17% higher score than GPT-4 in adversarial scenarios in the MMLU benchmark test.

Grok is currently deployed on the X platform’s advanced subion service. Musk revealed that he is developing a ‘Starlink version of Grok,’ planning to achieve uncensored AI access through direct satellite links. Ethical controversies have followed. Tests show that Grok’s evasion rate for sensitive issues is only 38%, significantly lower than the industry average of 85%. This ‘dangerous reality’ is reshaping the AI governance paradigm.

GROKCOIN Future Outlook

The revelation of Grokcoin far exceeds a single project: AI should not be a marketing fig leaf to evade securities laws, real use cases need to be verified by code; decentralized exchanges may be forced to introduce token creation audit mechanisms; there is a need to establish a ‘Four-Dimensional Authenticity Detection’ standard for AI tokens (team transparency, code updates, on-chain interactions, third-party audits, etc.).

Elon Musk stated at the latest financial report meeting: “The real AI + blockchain revolution requires engineering capabilities at the level of Tesla, not Telegram group emoticons.” This absurd drama, dubbed the Grok, may be the chaotic prelude that the industry must go through to mature.
