TON’s $1 Million Push to Make Memecoins Fair, Transparent, and Fun!

TON Foundation has officially rolled out “MemeRepublic,” which is a new competition that’s bringing structure, fairness, and transparency to the chaotic world of memecoin trading. Backed by a $1 million Memecoin Fund, MemeRepublic is built for everyone who’s ever traded, launched, or even held a memecoin and wished for a level playing field, not one ruled by insiders. 

Over the next 10 weeks, the project will reward activity, creativity, and on-chain liquidity, helping turn TON’s memecoin scene into something measurable, competitive, and transparent. This will encourage trading, liquidity growth, and community participation, all of which will be tracked in real time through a publicly accessible dashboard. 

The $1M MemeRepublic Fund 

The Memecoin Fund will be split evenly between $500,000 in direct memecoin purchases and $500,000 in liquidity provisioning. Ultimately, helping to ensure deep liquidity for trading pairs and transparent support for high-performing projects. 

Each week, one token will receive $100,000 in combined rewards. $50,000 will go toward direct market purchases made by TON Foundation itself, and the remaining $50,000 will go toward follow-on liquidity support added to the decentralized exchange (DEX) pools. 

The purpose of this two-part structure is to ensure there is lasting market depth rather than short-term price spikes. Every purchase, liquidity injection, and distribution will occur entirely on-chain, reinforcing the initiative’s commitment to transparency and accountability. 

How MemeRepublic Works?

MemeRepublic serves as a competitive on-chain leaderboard ranking memecoins based on a mix of real, measurable metrics. These metrics include trading volume, liquidity, market capitalization, price growth, and holder count. 

The competition runs for 10 weeks, from November 7, 2025, to January 9, 2026, with each week operating on a Friday-to-Friday cycle. The dashboard, developed in collaboration with DeDust/x1000, will automatically update every 5 minutes. This allows the participants and the community members to track live standing and performance data. 

To make the system entirely mutually beneficial, there’s a 1% trading fee that applies across all participating liquidity pools. The goal is to enable a self-sustaining cycle where we have: 

• Liquidity Providers (LPs) earn from pool fees. 
• Traders benefit from price appreciation. 
• Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) are benefiting from high trading volume. 

With this dynamic, we have a marketplace where everyone profits as the ecosystem grows. 

Who Gets to Compete: The Rules, Eligibility & Rewards

The majority of existing TON Memecoins are eligible to participate, with exclusions limited to stablecoins, DeFi tokens, gaming tokens, and other non-meme assets. New memecoins can also join as long as they’re launched on the participating platforms, including Blum, MemesLab, Stonks, GasPump, or BigPump. 

They can also participate if they maintain pools on approved DEXs like TONCO, STON.fi, and DeDust. 

To qualify for the weekly $100k reward, participating tokens must meet both community and technical standards. These include:

• Active presence on social media, including Telegram and X (Twitter)
• Locked on renounced liquidity pools. 
• A diversified holder base. 
• Public contact information in project bios. 
• No hidden contract functions or high transfer taxes. 

Tokens that engage in fake volume, bot-driven activity, or market manipulation will be instantly disqualified. They will also be disqualified if they coordinate a pump-and-dump scheme, use illegal bulk wallets, have non-diversified holders, or coordinate any other unlawful market activity. 

It is important to note that MemeRepublic does not tolerate unlawful activity and ensures a level playing field for everyone.

How Winners Are Selected?

Every week, MemeRepublic identifies a single top-performing memecoin through a transparent on-chain formula with the help of the following metrics: 

1. A token can only win up to three times during the competition. 
2. No token can win two consecutive weeks in a row. 
3. Winners are announced the following week, with liquidity provisioning completed before the next cycle begins. 

To maintain fairness and prevent front-running, TON Foundation executes “purchases at random times” using new wallets each week. All transactions are publicly visible, with results verifiable through on-chain data. 

Transparency and Real-Time Tracking

The cornerstone of MemeRepublic is Transparency. The public dashboard, designed and developed to refresh every 5 minutes, provides users with complete visibility into trading activity, rankings, and rewards distribution. 

Instead of relying on a private, point-based scoring system, MemeRepublic’s fully on-chain architecture allows the community to audit every aspect of the competition. The Foundation has also committed to publishing the exact formula and weightings used for scoring once the competition concludes. This helps to guarantee the outcomes are independently verifiable. 

The purpose of this approach is to align with TON’s broader mission, which is to merge transparency with participation. 

The Goal Behind MemeRepublic

MemeRepublic is more than just a marketing initiative; it’s an attempt to give memecoins a credible framework, one that can make them “community-driven digital assets.” This will help to redefine how memecoins are perceived and valued. 

Moreover, instead of rewarding hype cycles or speculative pumps, the initiative emphasizes on-chain transparency, fair competition, and long-term liquidity. Helping to signal TON’s efforts to professionalize an area of crypto that is often considered hype-driven, which is often backed by scams and rug pulls.

With structured incentives, TON will help to encourage creators and traders to innovate responsibly, proving that both entertainment and economic value can coexist in Web3. 

Beyond the Competition 

While the MemeRepublic centers on weekly contests and incentives, it also represents a long-term infrastructure push for TON’s growing memecoin culture. The participants gain access to additional ecosystem support, which includes: 

• The market maker and CEX introductions help projects to scale beyond DEX environments. 
• Potential inclusion in future initiatives such as the TON Memecoin Index. 
• Community exposure to TON’s expanding network of developers, creators, and traders. 

A Growing Culture of Real Competition

MemeRepublic arrives at a time when memecoins dominate the crypto culture but often lack credibility and transparency. By anchoring competition to verifiable, on-chain metrics and by backing it with a substantial fund, TON Foundation aims to redefine how memecoin success is measured. 

Here, growth isn’t about hype, but it’s about performance. The rules are public, the data is live, and every transaction leaves a trace.
