Ponke Ecosystem
The Ponke ecosystem consists of The validator and Memetrend, each fulfilling distinct roles to enhance the overall functionality and utility of the Ponke token.
Memetrend
Memetrend stands as one of Ponke's key utilities. Memetrend is a trading bot that allows traders to quickly trade their tokens of choice on Solana. It is a trading bot similar to Bonkbot except it offers more options than Bonkbot, enabling memecoins to pay a fee to utilize its services by being traded. [19]
A key feature of Memetrendbot is its revenue-sharing model, where 25% of all platform earnings are used to buy back and burn Ponke tokens. This strategic move enhances the scarcity and value of Ponke tokens, benefiting token holders. Memetrendbot offers a comprehensive range of services, including Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA), memecoin trending, Telegram (TG) trends and other features.[20]
The Validator
A validator is an individual or a group responsible for running software that stores data, verifies transactions, and adds new blocks in a proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain. Validators are replaced by miners in a proof-of-work (PoW) blockchain. A Solana validator is a crucial component of the network responsible for verifying transactions and generating new blocks. Validators also participate in the consensus process to maintain Blockchain security, functionality, and decentralization. By contributing, users can earn rewards. [21][22]
Tokenomics
$PONKE has a total Supply of 555,555,555 tokens adhering to the SPL-20 token type., which follows a 100% fair launch policy, emphasizing an equitable distribution among its community members.[8]
$PONKE tokens can be traded on centralized exchanges and decentralized exchanges, which include Bitget, Gate.io, HTX, Poloniex, BitMart, LBank, Bitrue, MEXC, Raydium, and Orca.[9]
On December 26, 2023, Ponke announced that it had sent out 1.1% of its total supply (worth $357,000) of Galactic Gecko to the treasury address.[11]
Partnerships
Technology
Ponke is built on the Solana blockchain, a smart contract platform founded by Anatoly Yakovenko. Solana stands out for its transaction verification method, which combines proof-of-stake with its proof of history system.
$PONKE ownership structure is designed to prioritize decentralization. It includes full renouncement of ownership and zero creator and Token Update Authority balances. This approach sets $PONKE apart from other memecoins, addressing concerns about centralization and giving the community a role in defining its development.[10]
