Ronin Welcomes a New Era of Meme Coins
The Ethereum sidechain Ronin, renowned for its gaming focus, has embraced the meme coin craze with the launch of Tama Meme, a launchpad that enables users to create tokens in just a few clicks. Developed by Moku and backed by Ronin creator Sky Mavis, Tama Meme is part of the network’s Operation Leviosa, which aims to expand Ronin’s ecosystem with games, decentralized finance platforms, and broader applications.
How Tama Meme Works
Tama Meme functions similarly to Pump.fun on Solana, offering an easy way to create tokens:
- Quick Creation: Users can launch tokens with a 1 RON fee (about $1.65), choosing an image, ticker, and token name.
- Bonding Curve System: Newly created tokens increase in market cap with each buy. Once they graduate, they can be traded on Katana, Ronin’s decentralized exchange (DEX).
- Massive Adoption: Since its launch on Tuesday, over 7,000 tokens have been created, now held by nearly 60,000 Ronin wallets, according to Dune data from Game7 DAO analyst Joshua Dear.
Popular Tokens on Tama Meme
The tokens launched on Tama Meme span a range of themes, from riffs on Axie Infinity’s Smooth Love Potion to community-driven memes.
Notable Tokens
- CuteAsianGirl (CAG): Quickly surged to a $4.3 million market cap, showcasing the platform’s viral potential.
Tama Meme Launch Celebration: Ratz Race
To celebrate its launch, Tama Meme is hosting a Ratz Race competition, offering over $40,000 in RON and NFT prizes.
Ronin’s Growing Ecosystem
Ronin has become a hub for gaming on Ethereum, driven by popular titles like Axie Infinity and Pixels. The Open Ronin program continues to attract notable projects, including the migration of the Steph Curry-backed basketball game Rumble Kong League from Avalanche.
Tama Meme is a key part of this expansion, reflecting Ronin’s goal to diversify its offerings while staying true to its gaming roots.
Final Thoughts
The launch of Tama Meme represents a significant milestone for Ronin, blending the viral appeal of meme coins with the platform’s gaming-centric focus. As the Ronin ecosystem grows, Tama Meme’s ease of use and early success could position it as a major driver of user engagement and network activity.
