In the wild world of Web3, launch pads have become the rocket fuel for the Meme Coins craze. Whether you are an activist investor who loves memes, a no-code cryptocurrency creator, or a serious team testing ideas on the chain, today's blockchain ecosystem provides unprecedented tools to launch tokens - and communities.
While Solana was the first to steal the show with Pump.fun and its viral derivatives, chains such as TRON, BNB Chain, Sui, and Polygon have also joined the competition and launched their own Meme-first Token platforms.
Let's take a deep dive into this new crypto infrastructure and compare the top Meme Coins launch pads in the current five major ecosystems.
Launchpads are platforms that allow anyone to create and launch tokens, typically used to:
Raise funds
Decentralize ownership
Trigger viral movements
Experiment with new ideas (or pure memes)
In 2024-2025, Launchpads have evolved from a monotonous crowdfunding tool to a community-centric, meme-driven micro-economy.
Solana’s Pump.fun is the blueprint for modern meme coin culture. Anyone can launch a token with no development skills, just a funny name, a little SOL, and a dream. It uses a bonding curve model, where early buyers get tokens at a low price, and the price gradually increases as demand grows.
It’s chaotic, fast, and sometimes viral. Most tokens die quickly—but occasionally a gem like $PUMP or $HULK emerges.
Highlights: Over 100,000 tokens have been launched. An entire meme season can be born in a weekend.
If Pump.fun was built for activist investors, Moonshot is more serious. It uses an auction-based model to provide fair price discovery for promising projects and avoid insider trading. It attracts teams with roadmaps, real developers, and community-building goals.
Imagine Moonshot as Solana’s Kickstarter — but completely native to the crypto world.
Created by the $BONK community, this launchpad leverages Solana’s most popular token, Dogecoin. It’s tailored for BONK holders, meme creators, and viral projects, with an emphasis on community-centric launches and user onboarding.
If you believe that Meme culture is the introduction tool for Web3, Bonk Launchpad is the center of this movement.
BNB Chain is no stranger to the retail craze - now it's also fully entering the Meme Coins Launchpad.
All tokens are deployed on PancakeSwap.
Total Emissions in 2025: GraFun: 13,000+, Four.Meme: 6,800+, Flap: 250+.
Four.Meme is backed by BinaryX and even got a boost from Binance CZ.
Conclusion: BNB Chain is a Meme Coins factory that provides tools for everyone from serious Meme entrepreneurs to casual creators.
TRON’s Meme Ecosystem exploded after the release of SunPump in August 2024. Think of it as Justin Sun’s answer to Pump.fun — with lower fees and more liquidity.
1,000+ tokens launched per day at peak.
25,000+ tokens launched in first two weeks.
Fees as low as 0.35 TRX (~$0.01).
$10M fund to support viral Meme Coins.
Launch Bonus: 888 TRX airdrop for fully sold-out tokens.
TRON wins on liquidity. 60 billion USDT circulating on-chain fuels the growth of Meme Coins.
Meme Hotspots: $SUNDOG and $SUNFOMO Reach Eight-Figure Market Caps.
Sui isn’t the first meme chain that comes to mind. But with Move Pump, it’s opened up a space for meme-loving builders that focuses on security and fairness.
Bonding Curve + Fair Launch (Automatic Liquidity & Destruction).
Tokens Launchable on Sui and Aptos.
Top Meme: AAA Cat ($AAA) Reaches $6M Market Cap.
Powered by Move: secure, modular smart contracts.
Best use case: For hybrid builders — structure-minded but still meme-curious.
Also supports meme NFTs and SuiBorg-like gamified tokens.
Polygon initially focused on serious DeFi applications but embraced the meme wave in 2024 with Wen.markets, a Pump.fun-like launchpad.
EVM-compatible token launch.
Curve-based pricing, no development skills required.
Openly backed by Polygon Labs and Sandeep Nailwal.
Funding + incubation for viral hits.
Although it’s still early (only a few dozen tokens are online), with the familiarity of EVM and low fees, Polygon is preparing for the Meme Coins season.
The combination of enterprise and culture. Polygon is really moving closer to activist investors this time.
The Meme Coins Launchpad trend is now officially cross-chain. Each network is building tools for its own niche:
Solana created the Meme Launchpad model.
BNB Chain industrialized it.
TRON gamifies it.
Sui makes it safer.
Polygon is EVM-ing it.
These launchpads aren’t just tools — they’re cultural rails. They provide creators with instant liquidity, low-risk launches, and community access. The best part? They enable any individual with a meme and a message to join the crypto conversation.
Whether you want to launch the next viral token or just explore radical corners of the web, there’s a chain and a launchpad waiting for your idea.
Web3 isn’t one size fits all. That’s what makes it powerful. That’s what makes it messy and fun.
