List of Top 50 Meme Coins Ranked by Market Cap

Apart from well-known meme cryptos like Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and PEPE, there are quite a few new meme coins that emerged in the last few years. Many of them are based on the Solana blockchain, such as Bonk, Popcat, and Book of Meme. You can the Top 50 Solana meme coins on this page.

Also, there is a new trend of meme coins on the Base blockchain – Brett, Degen, Toshi, and others. We also have a page with top Base meme coins.

Meme coins that are likely to explode often are copycats of popular global trends or successful meme cryptos. They are usually made under similar names and branding and launched on popular blockchains like Solana, Base, Avalanche, etc. 

But completely new meme coins are launching every day. To spot them early there are a few key things to do:

• Follow Coinlaunch. We have a dedicated page for meme coin projects. It’s updated regularly and new projects are added to the list.
• Join crypto communities on Discord, Reddit, and other platforms where crypto communities are based. People in these communities can provide you with some rumors and insights about new crypto projects.
• Track new tokens listed on DEXes. Small crypto projects made by amateurs often make preparations and add their token contracts to DEX to prepare it for future trading. This is a more advanced way of analyzing the crypto market and requires some knowledge of blockchain explorers like Etherscan.
• Of course, it’s essential to follow Twitter (X) crypto accounts and influencers. If you spot an account with a meme coin name and a low number of followers – this may be the next meme coin to skyrocket. But do your research before investing in any cryptocurrency. Or take a risk and try your luck :)

To invest in meme coins you need an account on a centralized crypto exchange or crypto wallet on the same blockchain as the meme coin you are interested in (e.g. Metamask for Ethereum-like blockchains and Phantom for Solana blockchain). And also some luck :) 

There is also a way to get meme coins for FREE. You can take part in crypto contests and giveaways. In this way, you can earn some meme coins and other cryptocurrencies with basically no investment of money. To find such contests – follow social media and announcements of big crypto exchanges like Crypto.com and Bybit, they conduct such events regularly.

To find the exact place where your meme coin can be bought, you can check 2 sources: 

• DEX aggregators, such as DEX Screener and DEXTools. They show every coin listed on DEXes, even low-quality ones; 
• Crypto market aggregators, such as Coingecko and Coinmarketcap. They list projects that passed the verification process. 

You will see the list of exchanges where the token is listed (CEX or DEX) and also trading pairs.

There are 2 main ways you can trade meme coins: 

1. Short-term. Buy and sell when you see profit immediately, then repeat regularly. This is very similar to intraday trading when you trade an asset multiple times within 1 day. However, this approach requires you to continuously track charts and be near your screen.
2. Mid-term, long-term. Buy and wait for a more significant profit. The time frame in this case can vary, your coin can grow in price within 1 week, 1 month, or even several months. If you are lucky, your crypto can skyrocket in the next few days. 
3. DEX terminals and trading bots. These are financial tools that allow you to use programmatic software to automate trading. One example of such a tool is goodcryptoX.

There are 2 ways to create a meme coin: simple and more advanced.

A simple way to create a meme coin

If you don’t have technical knowledge (blockchain development) and just want to launch your coin quickly, some platforms allow you to create a cryptocurrency literally in a few clicks. All you need to do is fill out a simple form and pay a fee for a blockchain transaction. Examples of such platforms are PumpFun, SunPump, and FourMeme. Here’s how they work:

1. Create an Account
2. Enter details about your meme coin (name, ticker, total supply).
3. Mint your coin. All technical processes are done by the platform.
4. Promote your coin

This method is perfect if you want to launch a meme coin quickly without writing a smart contract. However, it lacks flexibility in customization.

Advanced way to create a meme coin

For this approach, you will need to know basic blockchain development to code a smart contract and set the parameters of your future meme coin. But with the development of AI tools like ChatGPT, it’s already possible to write code by using human language.

Here’s a step-by-step overview:

1. Set Up a Crypto Wallet
   You’ll need a wallet compatible with a blockchain on which you wish to launch your meme coin. For Ethereum and similar blockchains, the most popular choice is Metamask, but there are dozens of other crypto wallets that support Ethereum-like blockchains. Also, you will need to deposit some cryptocurrency to pay for the blockchain fees and minting.
2. Develop the Smart Contract
   Write a smart contract using Solidity programming language (for Ethereum-like blockchains) and additional tools for blockchain development like Hardhat. Define the parameters of your cryptocurrency, such as total supply, decimals, fees, and others. Then deploy a smart contract on the blockchain. 
3. Mint Your Coins
   Once your smart contract is deployed, you can mint your meme coins.
4. List and Market Your Coin
   After minting, you’ll need to do some marketing to make your meme coin reach the right audience. Usually, it’s listing a cryptocurrency on DEX, creating social media pages and community, and purchasing Ads and Influencer promos.

This advanced approach gives you full control over your meme coin but requires technical knowledge, marketing, and business dealing skills.
