Since mid-August, Binance Launchpool has consecutively listed four projects related to the TON ecosystem. First was TONcoin (TON), the native token of the TON blockchain, followed by the meme project Dogs (DOGS). On September 12–13, Binance introduced two new mining pools for the mini-games Hamster Kombat (HMSTER) and Catizen (CATI), allowing users to stake BNB and FDUSD to earn HAMSTER and CATI token rewards.
On September 20, Binance officially enabled CATI trading pairs.
By September 20, Binance had listed six TON-related projects:
- Tap-to-earn game Notcoin
- Telegram bot Banana Gun
- Native token TON
- Meme project Dogs
- Hamster Kombat (HMSTER)
- Catizen (CATI)
Among these, Dogs, Catizen, and Hamster Kombat are standout projects within the TON ecosystem. Binance’s proactive approach to onboarding these projects signals the beginning of a user-traffic competition in the TON ecosystem.
Beyond listing TON projects, Binance recently confirmed its direct involvement in developing the mini-game Moonbix, further highlighting its commitment to the ecosystem.
As a barometer for the crypto industry, Binance’s frequent activity around TON has prompted the community to reevaluate its ecosystem: Which project will launch next on Binance? Which projects show potential? These questions dominate discussions.
