New tokens appear very often in the $TON ecosystem, and just as regularly, some of them disappear quite quickly. Most often, the reason is that the token was originally created as an element of a specific action - a game, event, or mechanic within the Telegram application - or because of the terrible implementation of the token itself.

As long as there is activity around the project, the token is used, exchanged, and fulfills its role. But as soon as interest in the product itself declines, the token ceases to be necessary. This was the case with projects such as Hamster Kombat, Paws, Catizen, and Tapswap.

Over time, it becomes clear that the fate of such tokens is practically decided by their listing. If, after the initial surge of interest, the asset continues to move, then it has a chance to gain a foothold. If, after the first period of activity, the token is almost no longer used, then we can say that its story is over.

It is also worth mentioning who was behind the successful launch of many tokens: the STONfi exchange. The project agreed in advance with the exchange that the listing would start with STONfi. The reason is quite simple: according to all statistics, this exchange ranked first within the entire network, and it could also be a good boost for the project due to its reputation.
