The $TON memecoin segment is moving again. Notcoin (@notcoin), Dogs (@realDogsHouse), and Utya (@TonUtyacoin) have all logged double or triple-digit weekly gains as Telegram-native tokens ride a fresh wave of ecosystem activity. The trigger is Telegram itself: founder Pavel Durov announced that Telegram is becoming the largest $TON validator under his MTONGA roadmap, paired with a sixfold transaction fee cut. A new Revolut listing on top of that has lifted volumes across the board.
This is a watchlist, not a buy signal. All three sit on the same blockchain and share the same @telegram DNA. Here is what each one actually is, and why they keep showing up in $TON coverage.
Notcoin and the tap-to-earn legacy
Notcoin launched in early 2024 as a tap-to-earn mini-app inside Telegram. Players tapped a coin. That was the game. The hook was distribution: roughly 96% of total supply went straight to early users through a fair-launch model, with no large insider allocations.
Market cap sits at $53.02 million as of May 6, 2026, with the token at $0.000533 and up 34.22% over the past week. 24-hour volume is $92.42 million. Circulating supply is 99.42 billion against a 102.45 billion max, and the all-time high of $0.029 from June 2024 still sits well above today’s level.
The recent push came from a Revolut listing on April 30, 2026, which gave Notcoin and Dogs reach into a neobank with over 70 million users. The official @notcoin account has 2.2 million X followers, and the project still claims tens of millions of historical Telegram participants from its tapping era.
Dogs and the Pavel Durov mascot
Dogs is a community memecoin built around Spotty, a dog mascot originally drawn by Telegram founder Pavel @durov. The token launched in August 2024 with one of the largest airdrops in memecoin history, distributed to over 42 million Telegram users based on account age and activity. The launch was so heavy that the $TON blockchain crashed twice in three days.
Market cap is $28.22 million with the token at $0.0000546, down 11.5% on the day after a 71.65% weekly gain. 24-hour volume is $172.28 million, with a volume-to-market-cap ratio above 600% pointing to heavy short-term churn. Total supply is fixed at 550 billion, with 516.75 billion now circulating.
The project has been pushing toward more utility beyond the meme. The DOGS App rolled out $NFT features and ran a Star Wars themed collectible drop in late April, with unsold units burned. A charity arm funded by trading fees and $NFT royalties directs donations to animal shelters. The Telegram channel sits above 12 million subscribers, and the @realDogsHouse X account has over 3 million followers.
Utya and the Telegram duck
Utya (@TonUtyacoin) is built around the classic Telegram duck sticker that has been part of the platform’s culture since around 2015. The project does not pretend to be more than that. No utility narrative, no roadmap heroics, just the duck.
The chart tells the story: Utya is up 340.34% over the past week. Market cap is $43.77 million, with the token at $0.0438, fully diluted on a 1 billion supply with no buy or sell tax. 24-hour volume runs $2.51 million, with STONfi dominant at 65.84% of trading flow, followed by DeDust and TONCO on the $TON side, and MEXC plus Ourbit on the CEX side. $UTYA also went live on LBank earlier today, adding another CEX venue. The token recently printed an all-time high near $0.050 before easing back to current levels.
It is one of the earlier $TON memecoin launches still trading actively, often grouped with $NOT and $DOGS in $TON ecosystem coverage.
Why these three keep getting bundled together
All three share Telegram-native distribution, $TON-based liquidity, and a community-first mascot story. They cover three different memecoin archetypes. Notcoin runs on the tap-to-earn legacy. Dogs leans on a founder-linked mascot with growing app utility. Utya rides a sticker that predates the entire memecoin category.
That spread is why they keep getting bundled in $TON coverage rather than competing head-to-head for the same narrative slot. With Telegram now driving network upgrades directly, every token sitting on top of $TON gets a tailwind from stronger rails.
What to watch
These are pure memecoins. Price moves track Telegram momentum, social sentiment, and $TON ecosystem flows. Liquidity splits between DEXes and CEXes, with Notcoin and Dogs trading on Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, and Gate.io, while Utya runs mainly on STONfi with MEXC and the new LBank listing on the CEX side. It can thin out fast when sentiment shifts. Volatility is the default state, not the exception.
Triple-digit percentage moves cut both ways. The current Revolut and validator visibility bumps do not lock in future direction. The $TON ecosystem itself, anchored by @ton_blockchain, remains the larger story to track. The memecoin segment is one signal of how much retail energy is rotating into it.
DYOR before any position.
