There is no single best chain; each trades activity for cost. On MemeSwap as of 2026-11-03, by 24h volume: Solana (687 tokens, $305.13M 24h volume), BNB Chain (74 tokens, $200.39M 24h volume), Base (25 tokens, $54.58M 24h volume), Ethereum (65 tokens, $29.27M 24h volume), Sui (8 tokens, $7.86M 24h volume). Solana carries the most launches because pump.fun and its peers create tokens there by the thousand and fees are a fraction of a cent; Robinhood Chain is younger, with 512 tracked tokens and gas paid in ETH; Ethereum meme coins are older and fewer, with the highest gas.
Pick the chain where the token you want actually trades, then check that chain's liquidity and holder counts on its chain page. MemeSwap lists every chain in one app and bridges between them in the same screen.
Meme coins are highly volatile and can lose all of their value; nothing on this page is investment advice.
