On August 21, 2024, Binance announced the launch of DOGS, a new meme coin on the TON blockchain, through its Launchpool platform, sparking widespread attention.
Since its inception, the DOGS project has quickly attracted a large user base with its simple and intuitive participation mechanism and viral spread on social media. The latest statistics show that in just one month, DOGS’ Telegram community subscribers have surpassed 16 million. This remarkable user growth not only showcases the appeal of the DOGS project itself but also provides strong momentum for the continued prosperity of the TON ecosystem.
This phenomenon reflects the growing influence of the TON ecosystem in the cryptocurrency field and suggests that it may be on the brink of a new round of development opportunities. The success of DOGS could serve as a catalyst for attracting more innovative projects and users to the TON ecosystem, further solidifying its position in this round of Layer 1 competition.
Looking back at the development of the TON ecosystem, one is reminded of the Notcoin project that caused a stir in the crypto world not long ago. Both Notcoin and the recently popular DOGS project gained incredible market attention in an extremely short time, which begs the question: are their paths and strategies to success the same? Furthermore, what secrets lie behind TON ecosystem’s continued popularity in 2024?
The success stories of DOGS and Notcoin vividly demonstrate the rapid growth model of meme projects in the TON ecosystem. These two projects show significant similarities in many aspects, reflecting the unique charm and potential of the TON ecosystem. By comparing and analyzing these two projects, we can better understand the driving forces behind TON’s development and how it has attracted the attention of a large number of users and investors in such a short time.
This rapid rise not only highlights the vitality of the TON ecosystem but also provides us with a valuable opportunity to gain insight into the key elements of successful blockchain projects. Through in-depth study of these cases, we hope to uncover the internal logic and key factors behind TON ecosystem’s continued prosperity in 2024.
DOGS and Notcoin: Similarities and Differences in the TON Ecosystem
Although both DOGS and Notcoin have achieved remarkable success in the TON ecosystem, a closer look reveals that these two projects have shown their own characteristics in market positioning and development strategies. These differences not only highlight the uniqueness of the two projects but also provide diverse development models for the TON ecosystem, demonstrating its inclusivity and flexibility.
DOGS, as an emerging meme coin project in the TON ecosystem, owes its success mainly to the power of meme culture and a community-driven model. DOGS adopted a simple and direct strategy, quickly attracting a large number of users through a barrier-free participation approach. Its core mechanism is based on Telegram bot operations, which not only makes it convenient for users to receive token airdrops but also achieves viral spread through clever invitation mechanisms. The effect of this strategy is significant, with DOGS’ Telegram subscribers skyrocketing from zero to 16 million in just one month, showing an astonishing growth rate.
In contrast, Notcoin doesn’t solely rely on the influence of meme culture but consolidates its market position through more complex and diverse strategies. In its early stages, Notcoin attracted a large number of users through an innovative “tap mining” model. As time went on, Notcoin gradually expanded its influence in the TON ecosystem, successfully building a more stable and lasting ecosystem through collaborations with multiple projects, especially innovations in NFT and points mining.
In terms of market strategy, DOGS focuses more on emotion-driven approaches, attracting a large number of users who haven’t had on-chain interactions by creating a community atmosphere. The simplicity and low barrier to entry of DOGS are key factors in attracting users. Notcoin, on the other hand, has adopted a long-term market strategy, focusing on cultivating long-term users and building an ecosystem. In addition to the tap mining model, Notcoin has further expanded its market influence through deep integration with Telegram.
The two projects also have their own characteristics in social media strategy. DOGS quickly dominated social media platforms, especially sparking widespread discussions on X and Telegram, with the help of numerous KOLs. Notcoin, through its appearance at TON ecosystem conferences and continuous community interactions, has accumulated a large number of loyal users.
Moreover, both projects have received support from mainstream cryptocurrency exchanges, with Binance’s support playing a crucial role. Both DOGS and Notcoin have had opportunities for mining and trading on Binance Launchpool, further enhancing their market influence.
The success of DOGS and Notcoin not only validates the enormous potential of the TON ecosystem in meme culture and community-driven projects but also demonstrates TON’s ability to continuously innovate and expand in 2024. Although there are similarities in their rise to prominence, the differences in their detailed handling and market strategy execution provide different development models and successful examples for the TON ecosystem, enriching the diversity of the entire ecosystem.
