Overview of 6 Emerging Launchpad Platforms: Solana Remains the Main Battlefield, Diverse Gameplay Unfolds Under the MEME Core

Author: Nancy, PANews

After the "wealth engine" Pump.fun came to a halt, multiple emerging launch platforms have surfaced in the market. This article by PANews reviews six notable Launchpad platform newcomers, primarily focusing on Solana. These platforms feature unique business models, including time tokenization, social token issuance, AI gamified competitions, and social credit mechanisms. They showcase innovative attempts in security, gameplay diversity, and accessibility, yet their core still revolves around MEME. However, at this stage, most of these platforms face challenges of low market participation and insufficient liquidity.

Time.fun

Time.fun is a time tokenization platform that combines MEME and SocialFi elements, targeting users more inclined towards fan economy. Incubated by Alliance DAO, it has migrated from Base to Solana. The design philosophy of Time.fun is to tokenize "time," allowing creators (founders/influencers/investors/musicians, etc.) to convert their time into tradable digital assets, issuing personal time tokens in minutes. Fans or supporters can purchase these tokens to engage in one-on-one communication, consultations, or obtain other forms of interactive services with creators.

Unlike Pump.fun, Time.fun uses USDC for transactions and requires X verification when setting prices. During the creation process, creators have the right to choose to allocate their income to charities in varying proportions. According to official disclosures, the platform has donated $100,000 within 26 hours of launch. Functionally, Time.fun includes elements like group chats, voice calls, and video calls, with plans to introduce auctions (where creators can initiate open auctions for any item) and appointment scheduling for calls with creators in the coming weeks.

Currently, dozens of creators, including Solana co-founder toly, Solana co-founder Raj Goka, Helius CEO Mert Mumtaz, Infinex founder KainWarwick, SendAI founder Yash Agarwal, Alliance DAO partner Qiao Wang, and DeFi researcher Ignas, have joined the platform. However, despite strong support from Solana, current market participation remains low, with the highest market cap token $toly currently valued at less than $6 million.

Super Exchange

Super Exchange is a token issuance and trading platform driven by an Infinite Bonding Curve based on Solana, aiming to provide strong liquidity and fair price discovery, eliminating the drawbacks of traditional trading platforms, such as insider trading and liquidity risks.

$SUPER is the platform token of Super Exchange, with 100% of the supply allocated to the community. Users earn points by trading tokens and inviting others to purchase $SUPER, which can be used to buy $SUPER, with the rule being 1 point corresponds to 1 $SUPER. The platform will use 50% of transaction fees for repurchasing and burning $SUPER. To create a token on Super Exchange, users must add the token's image, symbol, and name, while links to Twitter, Telegram, and the project’s official website are optional. Token information must be updated through proposal voting.

According to GMGN data, as of the publication date, the market cap of $SUPER exceeds $330 million.

top.fun

top.fun is a social token issuance platform aimed at making token holding meaningful, simple, and social through a community-driven ecosystem. Unlike traditional token issuance platforms, top.fun seeks to provide users with a more transparent, fair, and engaging experience through an innovative (3,3) mechanism. Its core features include vetted token issuance, transaction fee inflow to liquidity pools, SOL airdrops for token holders, integration with Apple Pay, and community-driven rewards. top.fun has issued its first token, $TOP. Notably, Pump.fun founder alon is one of the followers of top.fun's X account. Unlike Pump.fun, top.fun places greater emphasis on mobile experience and revenue distribution.

Monsters.fun

Monsters.fun is based on Abstract, allowing users to create and nurture their own digital monster AI Agents and increase their value through bonding curve tokens, with plans to launch in March 2025. Compared to Pump.fun, Monsters.fun leans more towards AI and competitive gaming rather than mere token speculation.

The platform's gameplay combines role-playing games (RPG) and token economics, allowing players to engage their monsters in turn-based battles driven by strategy. Monsters can learn from each encounter and evolve their tactics in real-time. Since each Agent is associated with a bonding curve token, its value expands with changes in market capital. Additionally, Monsters.fun is based on a16z's open-source AI Town project, providing an immersive, AI-driven experience aimed at creating a vibrant and personalized virtual world. Currently, Monsters.fun invites users to join through a whitelist mechanism.

Nad.fun

Nad.fun is a social MEME launch platform within the Monad ecosystem, encouraging users to create tokens and increase airdrop opportunities through a points mechanism while ensuring fairness through an anti-MEV (Maximum Extractable Value) mechanism. Nad.fun combines the dissemination mechanism of social media, allowing users to accumulate points by posting content, retweeting, or interacting on X, which can ultimately be converted into corresponding rewards, including LP fees and airdrops. Additionally, Nad.fun supports AI Agents' participation, allowing them to earn rewards from the platform through referral links and social interactions. Currently, Nad.fun is still in the testing phase.

NetMind XYZ

NetMind XYZ is an AI Agent Launchpad platform launched by NetMind.AI on the BNB Chain. Based on an advanced multi-agent framework, NetMind XYZ supports four AI models: Llama, ChatGPT, Claude, and DeepSeek, allowing users to create private or public agents. Private agents are limited to creator use and cannot issue tokens, while public agents are open to everyone. Users can achieve Initial Agent Offerings (IAO) by generating tokens for the agents and pairing them with NetMind's utility token $NMT for trading. These tokens will be locked via smart contracts for ten years.
