What Knots is

Knots ($KNOTS) is a Solana memecoin launched on the StonkFun platform. It is paired with that platform's token, $STONK. The name is "STONK" reversed. Its mint address is 8RVBk8vxLiUHueLUW1f4izFVqN3nWippLhkohKg6EGkS, and you can check it on Solscan. The official gallery (knotsonstonk.com/gallery) is open about the tone: "What's the raccoon problem? He's just here to have fun."

It is aimed at Solana memecoin traders who want a token that pays them in another token just for holding it.

What is live today vs. planned

Live, according to the official site:

Tax token mechanics. A 3% fee is taken on every buy and sell. That fee buys $STONK, which is airdropped automatically to wallets holding at least $20 of $KNOTS. Holders don't need to stake or claim anything.
StonkFun Ecosystem Flywheel. A share of StonkFun's trading fees buys back and burns the platform's top 10 tokens, weighted by market cap.
Where it trades. The site lists Jupiter and Titan aggregators, the centralized exchanges LBank, Poloniex and WEEX, and social trading apps such as fomo and Moby. I did not independently check the exchange listings.

Planned: a dedicated "$KNOTS Flywheel". The site describes it only as "Coming soon", with no specification.

On-chain snapshot (2026-10-22 03:12 UTC, DexScreener API)

Pools: DexScreener tracks 23 Solana pools that contain $KNOTS, holding about $427K of combined liquidity.
24h volume: about $110K across all pools.
Main pool: Raydium KNOTS/STONK (created 2026-09-06), with about $329K of liquidity and about $62K of 24h volume.
Concentration: about 84% of all tracked liquidity is paired with $STONK. SOL pairs hold about 8%. USDC pairs hold under $400.
Reported value: DexScreener showed a fully diluted valuation of about $3.4M at read time. That figure changes constantly and is shown only for context.

The Mycelium connection

Knots is one of the projects in the Mycelium Strategy. Mycelium Finance pairs $MYC liquidity directly with selected Solana tokens and earns swap fees from those pools. On-chain, DexScreener shows a Raydium MYC/KNOTS pool (C2huZF2ChurWfw2YFdaJMpY8CwjNTStf8YGxDnzgqfMD) with about $3.3K of liquidity, which is under 1% of Knots' total. I checked the allocations page on 2026-10-22, but its table loads live in the browser. The on-chain pool is the evidence I could verify directly.

One promising aspect

The reward loop is simple to understand, and you can check it yourself. Holders don't need to do anything to earn: no staking, no claiming. Because the fee is paid out in $STONK, the payouts are on-chain transfers that anyone can audit. That is easier to follow than most "yield" claims.

One meaningful risk or open question

Concentration. Most of the liquidity sits in a single KNOTS/STONK pool. That means $KNOTS depth, and the value of its rewards, both depend heavily on $STONK and the StonkFun platform. The 3% tax also makes every trade more expensive. The live statistics on the site (APR, holders, rewards paid) did not render when I fetched it, so I could not check them. Treat any APR figure you see as variable and backward-looking.
