GraFun Expands to TON Network, Enabling Memecoin Creation Directly in Telegram
GraFun, a popular memecoin issuance platform, is expanding to the TON Network, marking its third blockchain integration after Ethereum and BNB Chain. This strategic expansion aims to tap into new audiences, enhance liquidity for meme coin launches, and increase GraFun’s visibility within the crypto space.
By integrating with TON, GraFun seeks to make memecoin creation more accessible and streamlined for users. “Soon, users will be able to create and trade memecoins directly within Telegram, one of the most widely used messaging apps globally,” a GraFun developer shared with CoinDesk via Telegram. “After launching over 14,000 memecoins and generating more than $450 million in trading volume on BNB Chain, we’re now simplifying the process for users to launch memecoins inside Telegram.”
TON holds more than $350 million in assets across its blockchain ecosystem, offering a solid foundation for GraFun’s expansion into this space.
A source close to GraFun also hinted at the possibility of launching a GraFun token based on user activity, though the developers have not confirmed or denied this potential move.
What sets GraFun apart is its “Fair Curve” model, which minimizes risks such as rug pulls and price manipulation, ensuring a fairer token issuance process. Memecoin leader Floki holds over 40% of GraFun, with additional backing from DWF Labs.
Other notable memecoin launchpads using the “Fair Curve” model include Pump on Solana and Tron’s Sun Pump, both of which have played a key role in setting the standard for safer, more transparent token launches.
