TonUP is the first launchpad platform on TON, allowing projects to raise funds through Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs) and providing a Community Protection Plan (CPP) to protect investors.
Overview#
TonUP streamlines token launches by handling technical steps such as token generation, verification, and listing. Projects submit an application that is screened based on team quality, token economics, and community engagement. Security checks—including code audits and KYC—are also performed. Accepted projects receive support for fundraising, marketing, tokenomic design, and launch execution.
History and Milestones#
TonUP launched in August 2023, marking the first project on TON built with the Tact programming language. Its inaugural IDO featured the $MC token for the Tap Fantasy game. Since then, the platform has completed more than ten IDOs, raising over $3 million in investments. TonUP receives backing from the TON Foundation and venture partners such as TON Ventures, Toncoin.Fund, Foresight X, and MEXC Ventures.
Launchpad Model#
Application Process
Projects apply via an online form. The review focuses on three key factors:
- Team – experience and ability to deliver the project.
- Economic model – token utility and distribution.
- Community – size and engagement of the existing user base.
Security audits and KYC are conducted as part of the assessment. Responses are typically provided within 14 days; lack of response indicates the project did not meet requirements.
IDO Structure
After approval, TonUP initiates an IDO round. The public sale offers tokens at a fixed price, followed by optional allocations for $UP token holders, whitelisted wallets, or the broader community.
Community Protection Plan (CPP)#
The CPP comprises two complementary models:
-
Liquidity Supervision Plan – at least 60 % of raised funds must be allocated to liquidity pools on Ston.fi or DeDust, managed jointly by TonUP and the project via a multi‑sig wallet.
-
Price Protection Plan – the token price must remain at or above 80 % of its launch price for a minimum of three months. If the price falls below this threshold, TonUP provides refinancing based on the protection price.
Projects can choose which model(s) to adopt; participation in CPP is not mandatory.
$UP Token#
$UP is the utility token of the TonUP launchpad.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Total supply | 100,000,000 |
| All‑time high | $4 |
| Current price (2025) | $0.02 |
Holders gain DAO voting rights, exclusive whitelist access for IDOs, and the ability to stake $UP in launch pools to earn rewards from other projects. Staking yields depend on the amount of $UP held in a wallet.
