SOLdiers began after Mert posted, "how come sol holders arent called soldiers." The trenches resonated with it immediately, and gave traders a new identity to rally around.

A follow up post expanded on the idea and helped establish the SOLdiers identity.

SOLdiers launched seconds after Mert's original post. Crypto Twitter users quickly adopted the identity, with early posts encouraging others to join the meme.

DaniWorldwide posted a meme of a cat at attention saluting, amplifying the meme

The meme gained additional visibility after AI Bald King posted a video about SOLdiers.

Attention increased again when Mert jokingly told Toly to "be a soldier".

Later, Solana posted for a roll call for all Solana Soldiers.

SOLdiers launched on July 15 and reached an all time high market cap of $2.5M within the first two hours. Crypto Twitter users continue referring to themselves as SOLdiers as the meme spreads through posts and replies.
