A look at the 6 emerging Launchpad platforms: Solana is still the main battleground, and multiple gameplay is staged under the MEME core
Author: Nancy, PANews
After Pump.fun the "wealth engine" stalled, a number of emerging launch platforms emerged in the market. This article PANews takes stock of 6 newcomers on Launchpad platforms with high attention, which are mainly based on Solana and have their own business models, including time tokenization, social token issuance, AI gamification competition and social points mechanism, etc., showing innovative attempts in terms of security, gameplay diversity and popularity, but the core still revolves around MEME. However, most of these platforms face challenges with low market participation and insufficient liquidity at this stage.
Time.fun
Time.fun is a time tokenization platform that combines MEME and SocialFi elements, with a target user leaning towards the fan economy, incubated by Alliance DAO, and migrated from Base to Solana. Time.fun is designed to tokenize "time", allowing creators (founders/influencers/investors/musicians, etc.) to convert their time into tradable digital assets that issue personal time tokens in minutes. Fans or supporters can purchase these tokens to engage in one-on-one communication with creators, consult, or access other forms of interactive services.
Unlike Pump.fun, Time.fun transacts with USDC while requiring X verification when setting pricing. During the creation process, creators have the right to choose to distribute their income to charity in different amounts, and according to official disclosures, the platform has donated $100,000 within 26 hours of release. Functionally, Time.fun features group chats, voice calls, and video calls, with auctions (creators can initiate open auctions for any item), scheduled calls with creators, and more in the coming weeks.
At present, dozens of creators have settled in, including Solana co-founder Toly, Solana co-founder Raj Goka, Helius CEO Mert Mumtaz, Infinex founder Kain Warwick, SendAI founder Yash Agarwal, Alliance DAO partner Qiao Wang, and DeFi researcher Ignas. However, despite strong official Solana support, the current market participation is still low, with the highest market capitalization currently less than $6 million.

The platform's gameplay combines role-playing games (RPGs) and tokenomics, where players engage their monsters in turn-based battles, driven by strategy. Monsters learn from each encounter and evolve their tactics in real time. Since each Agent is associated with a Bound Curve token, its value expands with changes in market capital.
