An official internet standard.
Powered by bread.
In 1990, an official internet document proposed sending data by carrier pigeon. It was an April Fools' joke. Then people actually tried it, and the pigeon delivered.
Meet Avi. Avian carrier by trade, aviator by attitude.
$RFC1149 launches on 05 Nov 2026
19:00 CET on Pump.fun. The contract address appears on this page and in our pinned Telegram message. Nowhere else.
RFC 1149: the joke that delivered.
RFCs ("Requests for Comments") are the documents that define how the internet works. One of them is about pigeons. It is real, it is still online, and it is where $RFC1149 gets its name.
- 1 APR 1990
RFC 1149
"IP over Avian Carriers": a standard for sending internet packets by carrier pigeon, written by David Waitzman as an April Fools' RFC.
- 1 APR 1999
RFC 2549
The upgrade: IP over Avian Carriers with Quality of Service.
- 28 APR 2001
It actually ran
The Bergen Linux User Group in Norway sent 9 pings by pigeon over about 5 km. 4 came back. Round trip: roughly 53 to 106 minutes.
- 9 SEP 2009
Pigeon beats broadband
In South Africa, a pigeon named Winston carried 4 GB about 60 km. When he landed, the ADSL upload was not even 4 % done.
- 1 APR 2011
RFC 6214
The pigeon standard gets IPv6 support. The internet's newest addressing system, officially adapted for a bird with one leg of bandwidth.

The spec is real. Read it.
RFC 1149 is two pages long and written with a completely straight face. Here's what it actually says.
- BANDWIDTH
Limited by the length of the pigeon's leg.
Upgrade path: longer legs.
- MTU
About 256 milligrams. And it tends to grow as the carrier gets older.
The only hardware that gets better with age.
- QUALITY OF SERVICE
Handled by pecking order.
Priority traffic eats first.
- SECURITY
Built-in worm detection and removal.
The worms get eaten.
- COLLISIONS
The carrier comes with its own collision avoidance system.
Unlike your Wi-Fi.
- KNOWN ISSUE
Many carriers can share the air without trouble. Except in early spring.
Mating season. Not a bug.
- LOGGING
Audit trails are generated automatically and often turn up on cable trays.
You know the kind.
- PACKET LOSS
Acceptable: IP only promises best effort. Bergen, 2001: 9 sent, 4 came back.
Best effort. Avi agrees.
Officially filed under "humor" by the RFC Editor. Avi was not consulted. Source: RFC 1149
Fast systems. Old courier.
Networks evolve. Devices change. AI accelerates everything. Somewhere in the middle of all that progress, one very old delivery method keeps moving.
AI vs Pigeon
Server Outage
Service unavailable.
Network down.
Latency
Fast? No.
Efficient? Debatable.
Delivered? Yes.
Field Post
The radio is dead. Only Avi gets through. Carry the message across four sectors, from the borderland to the harbor, past flak, tracer fire, searchlights, barrage balloons and drones. You can't shoot back. You can only fly.
- HOLDHold to climb, let go to sink. Mouse, touch or space bar.
- LIVESThree lives per flight. From stage 2 on, every stage hides a heart that brings one back.
- STAGES12 stages, each one faster. Your progress is saved at every checkpoint.
- No pilot has reached the field post yet. Be the first.
Just for fun: no tokens, no rewards, no wallet needed. Reach the field post and you can put a nickname on the top list. Everything else stays in your browser.
Named after the RFC. A meme, nothing more.
$RFC1149 is a meme token for people who like the story of RFC 1149. It has no utility, no roadmap and no promise of future development. Holding it gives you no rights, rewards or votes.
Packet Pigeon keeps posting carrier-pigeon history on X and Telegram. That is the whole plan, and it does not depend on the token.
Not financial advice. Meme tokens are highly speculative and can lose all of their value. Only buy what you can afford to lose.
Follow the signal.
Packet Pigeon is moving. If something changes, X and Telegram will hear it first.
