The second week of MemeRepublic has come to a close, and if week 1 was a systems check, week 2 was the first real pressure test. The competition became far more dynamic, with the leaderboard changing hands numerous times, before a single token finally pulled ahead.
And for anyone keeping an eye on things, the leaderboard shows all of what’s happening behind the scenes in real time: the volume, the momentum, and every flip in the rankings as it happens.
This week’s winner is LAMBO, a community-managed meme token themed around joining the whales of the crypto world. It is a meme with a strong and positive message that clearly resonated with buyers this week.
LAMBO’s climb to #1 wasn’t a simple one. With the leaderboard flipping repeatedly, the token needed a combination of:
- sustained buy-side activity
- steady community engagement
- and verifiable organic trades
Once the team filtered out non-organic patterns, LAMBO held the highest score across the updated Formula 2.0 metrics, TON’s new scoring setup from last week.
Just like week 1, the winner receives $100,000 in rewards split between market buys and liquidity provisioning.
A Tight, Fast-Moving Leaderboard
This round’s top 5 reflects just how dynamic the environment has become:
- LAMBO
- POK
- DICKSHOTI
- OC
- AMORE
The week 2 leaderboard also showcased impressive activity across the board:
- Significant 7-day price moves, including three tokens, POK, LAMBO and MAXIMUS, showing multi-hundred-percent surges
- High-volume cycles, with several memecoins surpassing $300k–$600k in weekly trading
- Large holder bases, with some tokens exceeding 25,000+ holders
- Deep liquidity pools, with a couple of tokens sitting comfortably above $100k–$200k liquidity
DOGS, REDO, and UTYA, all of whom made the top 5 last week, kept showing solid activity, reminding everyone that the early favorites are still playing hard.
What Are POK and DICKSHOTI?
LAMBO may have taken first place this week, but it didn’t run away with it. POK and DICKSHOTI, two of last week’s strongest performers, stayed active throughout the week and kept things competitive from start to finish.
POK is built on the “Proof of Capital” model, a smart-contract-based system where all free coins are locked and only released when real demand increases. This creates fairness between creators and holders, eliminating the classic “insider advantage” common in meme launches.
DICKSHOTI is an intentionally rebellious meme project created as a tongue-in-cheek gift to TON community. While edgy in tone, it maintained strong engagement spikes throughout the week. Its humor-first identity helped it stay volatile, unpredictable, and consistently visible – just enough to secure a solid third place.
Week 1 Echoes: Unexpected Shifts and Community Movements
A major storyline from week 1 was REDO, which showed strong community traction and almost challenged UTYA’s dominance in the opening cycle.
This time, however, the momentum turned as some newcomers really made a move this week while others saw more modest performance under the updated formula.
In contrast:
- OC jumped into the top five with a large market cap and steady trading activity
- AMORE held strong despite a slight weekly price dip
- DOGS, a top performer last week, remained active with millions of holders but didn’t break into the main five this time
- UTYA, last week’s champion, saw a correction after its initial surge, which comes as another reminder that the game resets every Friday
Week 2 made some things very clear: competition is not static, communities rise and fall week-to-week, and every token has a chance to take the story in a new direction.
MemeRepublic Transparency and Updated Rules
To keep the competition fair, MemeRepublic reinforced several requirements this week:
- Last week’s recommended 1% LP trading fee became a set rule
- Teams should coordinate with DEXs to update pools where needed
- Communities engaging in manipulation or making accusations without evidence may be disqualified going forward
Pools that do not meet the 1% fee requirement will have their trading volume excluded from the scoring. If a pool is incorrectly set up, its activity won’t count until the fee is updated. Also, verification checks now include purchase-pattern analysis to prevent artificial volume.
This week, the team also performed deeper on-chain reviews to make sure all trading activity was legitimate. That meant looking at the most active wallets, net new buyers, overall trading behavior, and even community-submitted reports, all to confirm that the results reflected real activity. Wash-trading attempts and forced volume simply did not make any influence and the system filtered them out immediately.
You can find the full eligibility breakdown on the official TON MemeRepublic rules page, where all requirements are clearly listed. On top of that, every week, the team shares a quick transparency update in the Telegram group so everyone can see what decisions were made and why.
Beyond the weekly $100,000 allocation, winners also get ongoing support from TON Foundation team: guidance, feedback, and help with scaling. UTYA and LAMBO, the first two weekly winners, are already receiving that follow-up support.
A More Organic Meme Economy
The week 1 overhaul to Formula 2.0, emphasizing price growth and active trading wallets, is now clearly shaping the competition:
- Activity across the board feels more genuine
- We’re seeing more real users trading, not just volume spikes
- Newer tokens are starting to show real strength
- The overall volume looks healthier
- Communities are actively tweaking their strategies on the fly
Week 2 really confirms that the MemeRepublic scoring model is becoming more of a real on-chain battleground than just a casual meme event.
Week 3 and What’s Next
With two weeks already behind us, MemeRepublic is gaining ecosystem depth:
- More partners joining the infrastructure layer
- Greater tooling to track metrics accurately
- Direct contact from TON Foundation with winners for growth support
- Increasing transparency across the board
Week 3 is already showing more of the same upward trend: steady organic trading, strong wallet activity, and new meme projects stepping into the mix. Established players are adjusting quickly, and newcomers are finding room to rise.
What week 3 will bring:
- New leaderboard shifts
- Another $100,000 deployed
- New tokens throwing their hat in the ring
- Stronger competition under the new scoring rules
- And maybe a surprise or two that no one sees coming
A new winner will be selected on Monday, followed by another $100,000 round, and with several weeks left, both new and returning memes still have plenty of room to climb.
Week 1 was just the warm-up, week 2 showed how lively things can get, and week 3 might be when real trends start to appear, or when the competition takes an exciting new turn. At least one thing is for sure – in MemeRepublic, nothing stays still, ever.
