Utya UTYA

The Utya duck began as a Telegram sticker character. According to Know Your Meme, the "Utya Duck" sticker pack was created for Telegram on 4 September 2019 by the Serbian artist Egor Zhgun, who shared it on Behance on 16 April 2020. The WGMI POND Substack gives the same creation date. CoinMarketCap's page for the token links it to the DuckUtya stickers, which it calls one of Telegram's earliest sticker sets.

According to the WGMI POND Substack, an outside commentary, the UTYA token launched in 2024. CoinGecko says Utya was launched as a community-driven initiative on the TON blockchain, with a total supply of 1,000,000,000 UTYA. CoinGecko lists UTYA/GRAM trading pairs on the TON decentralised exchanges STON.fi and DeDust, and a UTYA/USDT pair on the centralised exchange LBank.

The official website presents UTYA as a memecoin "with no intrinsic value or expectation of financial return" and as a community-driven movement, and it claims no utility for the token. The site gives a total supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens. CoinGecko describes UTYA in similar terms, as a community-driven memecoin on TON inspired by the Telegram duck. The site's "Roadmap" section is a joke in the duck's voice. It reads only: "QUAAAAAAACK. That's it. That's the roadmap."

According to an outside commentary, no. A piece on the WGMI POND Substack describes UTYA as a community launch run by neither the sticker artist Zhgun nor Telegram, and says the token has no formal ties to Telegram or the TON Foundation. The project itself leans on the character's Telegram roots: its official website calls Utya the beloved Telegram mascot rubber duck. That description is the project's own wording; the WGMI POND piece calls the duck the de facto mascot of Telegram.

The official website links to the X account @TonUtyacoin and the Telegram channel @UtyaDuck as its community channels. It also links to STON.fi for swapping and states that UTYA is listed on CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap, with links to both pages. Before trading, compare the contract address in your wallet or in the DEX pool with the one the project publishes on its website, ending in neLA.
