💡 Where will TON meme season begin?

⚫️After more than a year of stagnation, it finally feels like things are starting to move again in the TON ecosystem. We’re feeling it too, so in the coming posts we’ll talk about useful tools and platforms that are actually worth watching right now. One of them is GroypFi.

⚫️The project aims to become a single entry point into the ecosystem — a kind of Swiss Army knife for TON DeFi. The Groypad team has brought several key products “under one roof”: token swaps via DeDust, perpetuals via Storm Trade, and token launches via Groypad — a launchpad built on Uranus.

⚫️Let’s take a closer look at the last point. We’ve written before that the old model for meme coin creators in TON was довольно primitive: if you wanted to profit as a founder, you sold your own tokens. The problem is that this approach almost always hurts the chart and destroys trust in the project faster than it can be monetized.

🖊Groypad offers a healthier mechanism. The token creator receives more than a third of the protocol’s fees from buy and sell transactions. In other words, the founder can earn not by dumping their tokens on the market, but through the trading volume within the project itself.

⚫️There’s also an additional competitive layer built around the launchpad — the NGL Contest. Here’s how it works: part of the protocol fees goes into a prize pool, and tokens launched through the platform enter a leaderboard, compete with each other, and the top performers receive rewards. The idea is to incentivize creators not to just launch a token and disappear, but to keep attention and activity around it.

⚫️And yes, this is essentially the “Memelandia” we never got from the TON Foundation reboot. So if meme season in TON is действительно coming, it will likely emerge not where it’s been promised for years, but where the actual mechanics to support it are already in place.
