The new meme trendsetter? The Binance of memecoins? A meme trading platform even grandma and grandpa at the wet market can master?
What exactly is this "Moonshot" that's been popping up frequently on Twitter since October?
This Moonshot Is Not That Moonshot
The Moonshot mentioned here isn't the meme launch platform launched by DEXScreener, but rather a meme trading app that debuted in July this year, incubated by Alliance DAO—the same team behind http://Pump.fun.
In its early days, it was spotlighted by well-known KOL Murad. It also caught two golden dogs—$MOODENG and $GOAT—bringing it into the public eye and accelerating its growth rapidly.
Moonshot Feature Overview
What can Moonshot do? Calling it "the Binance of memecoins" might be a fairly accurate analogy in terms of business model—it enables both quick trades and asset management.
Key features summarized:
Most important: Convenient deposits and withdrawals, supporting direct credit card purchases of crypto;
User-friendly interface, making buying memes as simple as buying a lottery ticket;
Strong operational team capable of swiftly identifying trends and listing relevant tokens.
Fees Overview
Trading Fees
A 2.5% fee is charged for transactions under $1–$250, with a minimum fee of $0.30. For transactions over $250, the fee drops to 1%.
Deposit/Withdrawal Fees
Moonshot partners with Moonpay and follows their fee structure; details shown in image below:
Has Moonshot Created a Listing Effect?
Recommended reading: @OdailyChina's analysis, which concludes: there’s a clear listing effect within 5 minutes of announcement, but divergence begins after one hour, and medium-to-short-term price gains are unrelated to Moonshot itself.
This conclusion aligns with expectations. Given that memecoins typically have low market caps and poor liquidity, retail participation can drive rapid price surges early on. However, in later stages, a token’s lifecycle becomes influenced by multiple factors such as whales, narratives, market conditions, and manipulators—forces beyond what a newcomer exchange like Moonshot can single-handedly control.
Relevant Data
Dune dashboard shows that since September, Moonshot’s peak daily fee revenue reached $32,978, with a maximum of 4,856 daily active traders. Trading volume has not yet been disclosed.
Token listings are fully managed and selected by the team. While no official criteria are published, the platform states that only tokens achieving $1 million in 24-hour trading volume are considered for listing.
Brief Summary
Currently, Moonshot mainly attracts FOMO-driven overseas users. Auntie Ai gave it a try and found it quite convenient—but it’s better suited for casual meme enthusiasts. For alpha hunters and hardcore PVP players, Moonshot lacks sufficient immediacy in listing new tokens and misses advanced features like sniping, limit orders, or address analysis.
