Gas Town’s GAS Token Surges Over 500% to New All-Time High

Beincrypto reports that the Gas Town token (GAS) climbed more than 500%, becoming the market’s top daily gainer and reaching a new all-time high earlier today.

The token is tied to Gas Town, an open-source multi-agent AI orchestration framework created by engineer Steve Yegge; Lookonchain wrote that Yegge released Gas Town on January 1, 2026 and described it as an industrial-scale AI coding workspace that can coordinate 20–30 concurrent agents. The GAS token itself was created by an anonymous community member on BAGS, a creator-focused launchpad on the Solana blockchain, and Yegge has said he received trading-fee proceeds from the coin, reporting amounts that rose from about $49,000 to roughly $75,000 and noting he receives 99% of those fees.

Market data showed the token’s market capitalization near $60 million at one point and trading at $0.044 with about $44 million market cap at press time, while 24-hour volume jumped to $109 million (a 1,613% increase). Lookonchain also reported large early gains for some holders, and observers such as Connor King have linked the rally to a broader trend of open-source AI developers tapping crypto to fund work; the report also noted GAS is a new token with sub-$100 million market cap and that such assets can be highly volatile and susceptible to manipulation, so outcomes will likely vary and investors should conduct their own research.
