Is the meme wave coming back after the end of World Cup 2026 and the low heat of prediction? Metrics show that @Pumpfun always sits in the top 5 protocols by revenue generated, right after the top 1 perp dex @HyperliquidX. This reflects that users still have interest in trading memes, despite the number of memecoins reducing significantly over the first half of 2026 due to a shortage of long-life memes. New launchpads want to have a share from the meme market which PumpFun is dominating, they have to guarantee the investors by one deadly feature: anti-rugpull. Let's find out the candidates: 1. @bonkfun A Solana-based meme launchpad built as a joint initiative between the BONK community and Raydium, positioned as the primary community-aligned alternative to PumpFun. BonkFun offers a similar bonding-curve model but: + Lower graduation thresholds and a portion of graduation fees distributed to $BONK holders + Liquidity locking at graduation intended to discourage rug pulls 2. @moonshot Launched in Mar 25, Moonshot is a Solana-based memecoin creation and trading app acquired by Jupiter Mobile. The next-level of launchpad including: + A bonding-curve model with higher graduation threshhold (in $SOL) + A portion of fees burned at graduation + Supporting traditional payment rails (Apple Pay, card, PayPal) for buying tokens 3. @believeapp Another Solana-based launchpad positioned toward "utility-aligned" tokens rather than pure memes. Believe aims to filter out the tokens with more substance by raising the graduation threshhold. 4. @daosdotfun A Solana launchpad built around treasury and governance infra. The launchpad aims at tokens intended to function as community-managed funds rather than pure speculative assets. Anti-rugpull feature that pairs a token with on-chain treasury and governance rails out of the box. 5. @virtuals_io Vurtuals is now paying more attention into agent launchpad rather than meme. However, there's a feature on Virtuals that other launchpads should follow is that they tie the token with a specific Agent infra - which tracks down the reputation of the tolen. 6. @BagsApp A model that focuses on a creator compensation model rather than launch-time safety features. Bags offers a bonding-curve launch model with an ongoing revenue stream paid to creators for as long as their token continues to be traded, rather than a one-time graduation payout. With this model, the platform wants creators to keep growing their memes even after graduation. 7. @revshare_app RevShare builds revenue-sharing directly into a token's transaction mechanics rather than relying solely on bonding-curve speculation. The platform now supports token launching on the latest Robinhood Chain. Which ones should be on your watch list?
