Hunter Biden $LAPTOP Launches Today on Base: Contract, Airdrop and Official X Account

Hunter Biden's LAPTOP meme coin begins trading today, September 9, 2026, on Base, the Ethereum layer-2 network incubated by Coinbase. The Wall Street Journal verified that Biden is part of the founding team, and the project confirmed the date in a video posted to X two days before the debut.

The token is an ERC-20 deployed on Base at contract 0xB095274743941e953c746F9C228DA9c18Bb6ec29. Total supply is fixed at 1 billion LAPTOP. According to the project materials, 35% of the supply unlocks at the token generation event, with the remainder vesting over 36 months under founder and prediction-market lock-ups.

The distribution is the most political part of the design. Twenty percent of the supply is earmarked for airdrops, explicitly including wallets that lost money on the Official Trump (TRUMP) token. Another 30% is split across 30 prediction markets, one of which resolves on whether a Democrat wins the 2028 US presidential election. Founders hold 30%, locked for six months.

Timing: the launch is scheduled for Wednesday, September 9, 2026 (UTC). The team has not published a fixed minute-by-minute countdown in advance; the go-live signal and the liquidity address are being announced directly on the official X account @Laptoptoken, which Hunter Biden's personal X account began following ahead of the debut. Traders should treat only posts from that account, and the Base contract above, as authoritative.

Where it will be listed: LAPTOP launches natively on Base decentralised venues first — Aerodrome and Uniswap on Base are the expected initial liquidity homes — with centralised exchange listings unconfirmed at the time of writing. The token is built as a LayerZero omnichain fungible token using a burn-and-mint model, so cross-chain deployments to other networks can be enabled later without a new supply event.

Security: an audit by Hacken covered the contract and reported four findings, all described as fixed before deployment. That does not remove market risk. Politically themed meme coins have a documented pattern of violent first-day volatility, insider concentration and copycat contracts launched minutes after the real one.

RUECAT DEX readers should assume that fake LAPTOP tokens will appear on Base, Solana and BNB Chain within minutes of the launch. Verify the contract address character by character before approving any swap, and be aware that any airdrop claim page not linked from @Laptoptoken should be treated as hostile until proven otherwise.
