Definitions

1

A pseudonymous crypto user — typically posting under a cartoon PFP and a handle with no real name attached. Used both as a noun ('that anon called the top') and as a friendly direct address ('gm anon'). Carries no negative weight in Web3; anonymity is the default, doxxing yourself is the unusual move.

“Some anon dropped 500 ETH on the mint in the first block.”
