In this edition of Move the Mic, we’re turning our spotlight on Booster.fun, the native memecoin launchpad and social trading arena built on Aptos.
Booster.fun isn’t just about memes, it’s about culture, creativity, and community coming together at chain speed. In this conversation, the team dives into how they’re using the Move language to blend fun with function, turning token creation into a living experiment in attention, culture, and liquidity.
NeĹźe: What made you choose Aptos as the home for Booster.fun?
Booster.Fun: Aptos as an ecosystem has high performance, strong developer tooling, but it is missing a core ingredient for success.
Culture.
It’s one of the few ecosystems where builders, foundation and technology have all converged, but it is time to introduce a layer of creation, culture and community alignment . We chose Aptos, because the Move language gives us the flexibility to experiment with new token mechanics, while Aptos’ scalability ensures that meme culture can thrive at chain speed — fast, cheap, and fun.
These all make the ingredients for us to succeed and for us to introduce a new era on an L1 blockchain that has truly yet to realise its memecoin and cultural arc.
NeĹźe: Can you tell us about your project and its main objectives within the Aptos ecosystem?
Booster.Fun: Booster.fun is Aptos’ native memecoin launchpad and social trading arena, where anyone can create, trade, and build culture around tokens in seconds.
Our main goal is to make token creation as viral and gamified as launching a meme on social media. Every token created on Booster plugs directly into the Aptos DeFi ecosystem through $USD1 and Tapp Exchange, forming a bridge between memes, liquidity, and real living and breathing culture..
Outside of that, we are planning on bringing to market the first crowdfunding and Native ICO Launchpad and Tool Suite program that combines culture, tech, marketing, funding, and liquidity.
Neşe: What’s one thing about your project that you think would surprise people who aren’t familiar with it?
Booster.Fun: Most people think Booster is just a launchpad but it’s actually a living experiment in attention markets. Every buy, burn, and meme feeds into a real-time feedback loop that rewards creativity and community engagement. Behind the memes, there’s deep liquidity infrastructure and sustainable funnels that are put into place to ensure creators and holders are mutually aligned.
NeĹźe: If your project were an animal, what would it be and why?
Booster.Fun: A rocket raccoon, similar to the one from Marvel’s Guardians in the Galaxy chaotic, clever, and impossible to ignore. It’s fast, a little mischievous, and always inventing something new from the scraps of crypto culture.
Neşe: What’s the funniest or most unexpected thing that’s happened during your development process?
Booster.Fun: During internal testing, our devs had to launch test tokens on mainnet and testnet and some of the memes launched were a bit too eye opening.
NeĹźe: How do you see Booster.fun shaping the meme and creator economy on Aptos?
Booster.Fun: We see Booster as the ignition point for a new layer of creator ownership on Aptos. By lowering the barrier to token creation and making speculation fun, we’re turning memes into micro-economies and creators into mini DAOs. Every launch becomes a social event, where the audience doesn’t just watch, they participate, trade, and shape culture in real time.
Neşe: What’s been the funniest token launched on Booster.fun so far?
Booster.Fun: Probably $BAPTOS, a divine fusion of Aptos and baptism, complete their own head of foundation which was Ash but with a yellow background. It’s the kind of tongue-in-cheek creativity that makes the ecosystem so alive.
NeĹźe: What are your future plans?
Booster.Fun: We’re evolving Booster.fun into a complete social and financial playground for the Aptos community.
Next up:
Enhanced trading UI/UX and pathways.
Lottery mechanisms to incentivize more trading and more randomness
Streaming and integrating Shelby to do so.
Our long-term goal is simple, make Aptos the cultural capital of crypto, one meme at a time.
