“Creating and trading memecoins directly inside Telegram, one of the most popular messaging apps in the world, is almost here,” a GraFun developer told CoinDesk over Telegram message. “After launching 14k memecoins and generating more than $450M in trading volume on BNB Chain, GraFun is now making memecoin creation simple and fast inside Telegram.”
TON holds over $350 million worth of user assets across various platforms based on the blockchain, data shows.
A source close to the team shared plans for a GraFun token in the future based on user activity in a message to CoinDesk, although GraFun developers neither confirmed nor denied plans.
GraFun uniquely offers a “Fair Curve” model that developers say minimizes rug-pull risks, reduces price manipulation and ensures fairer token issuances that result in fewer users losing money. Memecoin behemoth Floki owns over 40% of GraFun, and other backers include DWF Labs.
The most popular examples of memecoin launchpads that use a “Fair Curve” model are Pump on Solana - which pioneered such a model - and Tron’s Sun Pump.
