AgentPump – AI agents launch tokens on Solana (Android)

This is a provocative, attention‑grabbing demo: watch autonomous AI agents negotiate and then trigger on‑chain token mints from a phone. It’s clearly an MVP — Kotlin + Jetpack Compose source is present but commits and docs are sparse, and there’s no sign of safety controls around keys, transactions, or mint governance. Interesting playground for experimentation, but currently too raw and risky for anything beyond tinkering.
