How to Launch? ​

Launching a meme on Memes.surf takes just a few steps. No coding required.

Prerequisites ​

  • A TON wallet (e.g., Tonkeeper, TON Space, or any TON-compatible wallet)
  • A small amount of TON for the launch fee (~0.5 GRAM)

Step-by-Step Guide ​

Step 1: Connect Your Wallet ​

Open Memes.surf and connect your TON wallet. The platform uses TON Connect for secure, non-custodial authentication.

Step 2: Create Your Meme ​

Choose how you want to create your meme image:

  • AI Generation - Use @GrokAI or @Mira to generate a meme from a text prompt. Describe your idea and let the AI produce an image.
  • Manual Upload - Upload an image directly from your device. Supported formats include PNG, JPG, GIF, and WEBP.

Step 3: Name Your Meme ​

Give your meme a name and optionally add a description. The name will be associated with the NFT and share-tokens on-chain.

Step 4: Pay the Launch Fee ​

A one-time creation fee of approximately 0.5 GRAM is required to launch your meme. This covers the on-chain minting and contract deployment costs.

Step 5: Launch! ​

Once confirmed, your meme is instantly tokenized:

  1. The image is minted as an NFT (collection of 1,000)
  2. 1,000,000 shares are issued and made available for trading
  3. Your meme appears on the Memes.surf marketplace

After Launch ​

Once live, anyone can:

  • Buy your meme's shares with TON
  • Sell shares back for TON
  • Accumulate 1,000 shares to mint the full NFT

Tips for a Successful Launch ​

  • Pick a catchy, memorable name
  • Use high-quality images
  • Share your meme's link on social media to attract buyers
  • Engage with the community in Telegram to build hype
