After the "wealth creation engine" Pump.fun went offline, the market has seen the emergence of multiple new launch platforms. This article by PANews reviews 6 high-profile Launchpad platform newcomers, which are mainly Solana-based and have diverse business models, including time tokenization, social token issuance, AI-gamified competition, and social credit mechanisms. These platforms demonstrate innovative attempts in terms of security, gameplay diversity, and popularization, but their core still revolves around MEME. However, these platforms currently face challenges of low market participation and insufficient liquidity.
Time.fun
Time.fun is a time tokenization platform that combines MEME and SocialFi elements, targeting the fan economy and incubated by Alliance DAO. It has migrated from Base to Solana. The design concept of Time.fun is to tokenize "time", allowing creators (founders/influencers/investors/musicians, etc.) to convert their time into tradable digital assets, issuing personal time tokens in minutes. Fans or supporters can purchase these tokens to engage in one-on-one communication, consultation, or other interactive services with the creators.
Unlike Pump.fun, Time.fun uses USDC for transactions and requires X verification when setting prices. During the creation process, creators have the right to choose to allocate a portion of their income to charitable organizations, and the platform has reportedly donated $100,000 within 26 hours of launch. In terms of functionality, Time.fun features group chat, voice calls, and video calls, and will introduce auction (where creators can initiate open auctions for any item) and appointment scheduling with creators in the coming weeks.
Currently, dozens of creators have joined, including Solana co-founder toly, Solana co-founder Raj Goka, Helius CEO Mert Mumtaz, Infinex founder KainWarwick, SendAI founder Yash Agarwal, Alliance DAO partner Qiao Wang, and DeFi researcher Ignas. However, despite strong support from the Solana ecosystem, market participation is still relatively low, and the highest market cap of the $toly token is currently less than $6 million.

Super Exchange
Super Exchange is a token issuance and trading platform based on Solana, driven by an Infinite Bonding Curve, aiming to provide strong liquidity and fair price discovery, eliminating the drawbacks of traditional trading platforms such as insider trading and liquidity risks.
$SUPER is the platform token of Super Exchange, with 100% of the supply allocated to the community. Users can earn points by trading tokens and inviting others to buy $SUPER, and these points can be used to purchase $SUPER, with a 1-to-1 ratio. The platform will use 50% of the trading fees to repurchase and burn $SUPER. To create a token on Super Exchange, users must provide the token's image, symbol, and name, as well as optional links to Twitter, Telegram, and the project's official website, and the token information needs to be updated through a proposal vote.
GMGN data shows that as of the time of writing, the market cap of $SUPER has exceeded $330 million.
top.fun
top.fun is a social token issuance platform that aims to make token holding meaningful, simple, and social through a community-driven ecosystem. Unlike traditional token issuance platforms, top.fun's goal is to provide users with a more transparent, fair, and engaging experience through an innovative (3,3) mechanism. Its core features include curated token issuance, fee income flowing into the liquidity pool, SOL airdrops for token holders, integration of Apple Pay, and community-driven rewards. top.fun has issued its first token, $TOP. It's worth noting that Pump.fun's founder alon is one of the X account followers of top.fun. Unlike Pump.fun, top.fun emphasizes mobile experience and revenue distribution.
Monsters.fun
Monsters.fun is based on Abstract, where users can create and nurture their own digital monster AI Agents and increase their value through bonding curve tokens, with a planned launch in March 2025. Compared to Pump.fun, Monsters.fun is more focused on AI and game competition, rather than pure token speculation.
The platform's gameplay combines role-playing games (RPGs) and token economics, where players can let their monsters participate in turn-based battles driven by strategy. Monsters can learn and evolve their tactics from each encounter in real-time. Since each Agent is associated with a bonding curve token, its value expands with changes in market capitalization. Additionally, Monsters.fun is based on a16z's open-source AI Town project, providing an immersive, AI-driven experience aimed at creating a vibrant virtual world with personality. Currently, Monsters.fun is inviting users to join through a whitelist mechanism.
Nad.fun
Nad.fun is a social MEME launch platform within the Monad ecosystem, encouraging users to create tokens and increase airdrop opportunities through a credit system, while ensuring fairness through an anti-MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) mechanism. Nad.fun combines the propagation mechanism of social media, where users can accumulate credits by posting content, sharing, or interacting on X, which can ultimately be converted into rewards such as LP fees and airdrops. Additionally, Nad.fun supports AI Agent participation, where AI Agents can also earn rewards through referral links and social interactions. Currently, Nad.fun is still in the testing phase.
NetMind XYZ
NetMind XYZ is an AI Agent Launchpad platform launched by NetMind.AI on the BNB Chain. NetMind XYZ is based on an advanced multi-agent framework, supporting four AI models including Llama, ChatGPT, Claude, and DeepSeek, allowing users to create private or public agents. Private agents are limited to use by the creator and cannot issue tokens, while public agents are open to all. Users can realize the Initial Agent Offering (IAO) by generating agent tokens and pairing them with NetMind's utility token $NMT for trading. These tokens will be locked for ten years through smart contracts.
