The post UTYA Takes the Lead as TON’s On-Chacom. The first week of MemeRepublic is officially over, and the results say a lot about how TON Ecosystem is helping to grow and shape the on-chain meme coin arena. It wasn’t just about crowning a winner in a community, but about a real-time stress test of what works, what doesn’t, and how quickly the system adapts. UTYA Takes First Week With a Strong All-Around Performance MemeRepublic’s first-ever winner is UTYA, which finished at the top across all metrics, including liquidity, volume, and market cap. Being the winner earned them a $100,000 reward, half of which is deployed as direct market purchases and half as liquidity provisioning. For a competition that’s built entirely around measurable performance, UTYA’s success wasn’t accidental but something it earned through its utility and a long-term mission, allowing it to build an active community. Anyone following the competition can also track the live leaderboard and current results directly through the MemeRepublic dashboard. A Strong Presence From the Rest of the Leaderboard One thing that’s clear from the first week is that while UTYA claimed the top spot, it wasn’t a runaway victory but rather a very tight competition. These are the tokens that ran UTYA close in the first week: Both DOGS and REDO deserve a quick spotlight. In fact, DOGS held a significant trading activity throughout the week and almost overtook UTYA mid-cycle. In comparison, REDO showed strong community traction and liquidity as a first-week contender. This is going to make the second week even more exciting and intense! What are UTYA, DOGS, and REDO?

DOGS is also another community-driven initiative that’s designed to leverage Telegram’s vast.
