Manifesto
At Pokonova, we know what it’s like to rise, fall, and rebuild. Our journey started as a meme coin—Poko—launched in January 2024, with big dreams and community support. We hit a high of $160K in market cap before plummeting back down to $1K. At that point, we had a choice: give up or build something better. We chose to keep going.
When we first launched Poko, we had a different icon representing the project. Since then, we’ve gone through a rebranding to better reflect our identity and mission. However, because we renounced the original contract, we couldn’t update the old icon. So, if you ever see the old icon out there, don’t panic—that’s still us, Poko, just from an earlier chapter of our journey.
We believed in a future where crypto traders could find safe, legitimate projects to invest in, so we launched our app. But the first version of the app didn’t meet community expectations. The beta failed, the team fractured, and it seemed like everything was falling apart. Some of us moved on, but a few of us decided to rebuild.

We got back to work. The new app functioned as expected—not with all the promised features, but enough to attract projects. Some of those projects thrived, others failed. Some were legitimate, while others were scams, which went against our vision of creating a safe space for investors. Despite that, the team reunited, and we pushed forward once more.
We realized that some of the features we built weren’t what the community really wanted. We were on the verge of becoming just another DEX, competing in a space already filled with strong competitors. That’s when we knew we had to rethink everything.

Life happens, and things slowed down again. Personal responsibilities pulled us away, and the community responded with a mix of reactions. Some were supportive, others accused us of abandoning the project. And in truth, we did disappear for a while, without a clear conclusion. We learned a lot in that time—about the app, the market, and ourselves.
After some time away, we found our vision again. That’s when Pokonova was born—a new chapter for Poko. We’ve taken everything we’ve learned, our successes and our failures, and channeled it into building something better. Pokonova is more than just another crypto app; it’s a platform designed to help investors find safer, more legitimate projects in a clear, transparent way.
Introducing Pokonova
With Pokonova, projects move through tiers, earning milestones and trophies as they grow. Investors can track these projects from their humble beginnings to market dominance, seeing their progress in real time. It’s a system that builds trust, shows transparency, and gives both investors and projects a way to prove their credibility.
We’ve faced failure, but we’ve also built resilience. This journey has taught us that growth isn’t always a straight line—and sometimes, it means taking a step back to come back stronger. Pokonova is our fresh start, our commitment to transparency, safety, and a better crypto future.
We’ve learned from the past, and we’re looking toward a brighter future for Poko. We’re here to build a safe space for crypto traders and project creators, and we’re just getting started.
