New Trends in Token Launch Platforms: Comparison of Features and Developments of Three Major Platforms
The New Wave of Decentralization Token Launch Platform
The decentralized token launch platform is an important component of the blockchain ecosystem, providing fundraising channels for emerging projects while creating early participation opportunities for investors. Recently, a new type of launch platform has emerged, mainly focusing on the issuance of meme tokens. Compared to traditional models, these platforms have lower issuance thresholds, smaller initial market capitalizations, and an almost 100% token circulation rate.
The main functions of these platforms include:
Since a well-known platform achieved great success last year, this sector has attracted the attention of many development teams and public chains. However, most attempts have failed to replicate its success. Recently, a long-established meme Token in the Solana ecosystem has also launched its own launch platform, with several projects reaching a market cap of over $10 million, showing a strong start.
At the same time, the leading Token launch platform in the field of artificial intelligence has recently introduced new participation methods and activities. Although the performance of the Tokens it issued has been mixed, the price of the platform's own Token has doubled within a week, indicating that the new initiatives have achieved some results.
Although these three platforms are all token launch platforms, they each have different functions and features. Let's take a look at their unique aspects, as well as the token projects worth paying attention to recently.
Platform A
This platform sparked a frenzy of meme tokens in the second half of 2024. At its peak, the platform's daily revenue exceeded 7 million dollars. Even in the current cooling market, it can still maintain a daily level of about 1.5 million dollars. Since its launch, total revenue has exceeded 600 million dollars, making it a "printing machine" in the industry.
However, the platform's approach has also sparked controversy. Unlike other Solana ecosystem projects, they chose to sell the earned SOL directly for USDC instead of staking or operating nodes. Since 2025, they have sold SOL Tokens worth $317 million. This behavior, combined with some previous negative incidents, has resulted in the platform being profitable yet failing to gain full support from the ecosystem.
In terms of token issuance, this platform has become the preferred place, covering a variety of themes including animals, homophones, news events, and artificial intelligence, among others. Essentially, any concept can be turned into a meme token here, and the platform itself does not specifically emphasize any particular area.
platform B
In contrast, this platform has a higher recognition within the Solana ecosystem. As the most representative meme Token on the Solana chain, it has been deeply cultivated in the ecosystem over the past four years and frequently appears at various offline events.
Mechanically, the platform behaves more altruistically. Its revenue comes from a 1% transaction fee, used for:
Currently, the platform's highest market cap Token is inspired by a famous Scottish Fold cat, which has nearly 2 million followers on social media. In addition, the platform's namesake Token and another Token that gained popularity due to the founder's involvement are also worth paying attention to.
platform C
This is an AI agent launch platform originally built on the Base chain, which has recently expanded to the Solana chain. Its business model is relatively simple, as users need to consume platform tokens to create and trade Tokens. However, with the decline of the AI boom, the number of Tokens issued on the platform has dropped from a peak of 100 per day to less than 10 now.
In order to revitalize, the platform has recently launched a new participation mechanism:
Overall, this platform is creating a smaller but more loyal launch platform, similar to the points-based activities launched by some wallet applications. Participants can consider directly purchasing the platform Token or actively participating in platform activities to gain rewards.
Summary
These three platforms each have their advantages and challenges: Platform A has solidified its traffic entry position through a strong operational model but has been questioned due to frequent cash-outs; Platform B has favored the ecosystem by deeply engaging the community and adopting a low-fee strategy, but faces the issue of divided attention; Platform C is laying out a new track through an innovative points mechanism and AI agents, but its sustained attractiveness remains to be observed.
In the future, the success of the Token launch platform will depend on its ability to balance short-term hype and long-term ecological construction, as well as whether the project party can provide real value and applications. For researchers and participants, in addition to focusing on platform traffic and Token prices, they should also deeply consider the core risks of each platform's mechanisms and future development potential, in order to find projects that are truly worthy of long-term attention.
