Leading ecosystems for memcoin trading
1. BNB Chain.
In 2024, the BNB Chain ecosystem steadily took the top spot in terms of daily active users. The reasons for this were its low gas cost and mature ecosystem: BNB Chain is among the top four blockchain ecosystems in terms of DeFi-protocol-locked assets (TVL), which is $5.54 billion as of February 2025.
Meme tokens have played a significant role in the popularity of BNB Chain: it is much cheaper to make transactions with them in BNB Chain than in Ethereum. In addition, there are wrapped Dogecoin (DOGE) tokens in the BNB Chain network, as well as other popular meme tokens such as Bonk (BONK) and Floki (FLOKI).
BNB Chain also owes its high popularity among memcoin traders to the Four.Meme platform, which was launched in July 2024. Four.Meme is a decentralized tool for fast and simplified token launches, essentially an analog of Pump.Fun, launched on the Solana blockchain.
However, while Pump.Fun focuses solely on launching meme tokens, Four. Meme's platform allows for the creation of tokens in other categories as well, such as:
- artificial intelligence (AI),
- decentralized finance (DeFi),
- games (GameFi),
- blockchain infrastructures.
The Four.Meme tool has become so popular that in February 2025, it set a record for token creation — more than 8,700 tokens in a day. In total, about 35,500 tokens were created using Four.Meme, making the platform the second most popular after Pump.Fun.
BNB Chain's surge in popularity among traders and meme token creators came after former Binance cryptocurrency exchange head Changpeng Zhao published the name of his dog, Broccoli. After that, a meme token of the same name was released, and a real stir started around the assets of this category on the BNB Chain blockchain.
2. Solana
The Solana blockchain is the leading platform regarding the number of users and the number of meme tokens created, Pump.Fun. This tool, launched in January 2024, was one of the first of its kind and has gained high popularity because any user can quickly issue their meme asset.
The Pump.Fun platform holds the absolute record for the number of tokens launched. In just one day in February 2025, the tool issued about 50,300 tokens, about 85% of the total number in all blockchain ecosystems. According to data from the same period, the total number of tokens issued on the Pump.Fun platform exceeded 7.6 million.
Pump. Fun's high popularity has led to many similar tools, but the one that stands out the most is:
- Pumpkin,
- SlerfTools,
- Smithii.
3. Tron
The Tron team did not fall behind the trend and, in August 2024, launched its tool for quick and easy token creation, SunPump. One of the main features of the SunPump platform is the ability to automatically create liquidity on a decentralized exchange immediately after issuing a meme token.
Unlike similar tools in other networks, all projects launched on the SunPump platform are thoroughly verified. Therefore, not every user can successfully issue their meme token on SunPump, but they can get support from the platform itself at the start, which is no less critical for project creators.
4. Ethereum
Ethereum was the first platform on which developers started issuing meme tokens, inspired by the success of the "main memecoin" Dogecoin (DOGE). However, record high fees and slow transaction speeds recorded in 2023 have forced many developers, traders, and investors to turn their attention to other ecosystems.
Nevertheless, Ethereum remains one of the significant ecosystems for issuing and trading meme tokens, although the number of such projects lags behind the other blockchains discussed in this article. Although Ethereum's transaction costs have decreased significantly and its speed has improved, Ethereum still lags behind BNB Chain, Solana, and Tron.
