Bonk (BONK)

Solana\

What is Bonk?

BONK is the first major meme token on Solana, launched on Christmas Day 2022 as a community airdrop during one of Solana's darkest periods (the FTX collapse aftermath). Half the supply was airdropped to Solana developers, NFT holders, and DeFi users — making it a genuinely community-distributed token rather than a team-controlled one.

What started as a morale-boosting meme grew into a token with real ecosystem integration. BONK is accepted for payments at various Solana ecosystem projects, integrated into games and apps, and has become the de facto "fun token" of the Solana ecosystem.

BONK benefits from Solana's fast, cheap infrastructure — transfers cost fractions of a cent and settle in seconds. Regular token burns have reduced the circulating supply significantly since launch.

How Bonk Works

BONK is an SPL token on Solana (the Solana equivalent of an ERC-20 token). It benefits from Solana's fast and cheap transactions — sending BONK costs a fraction of a cent and settles in about a second. The token has a large but decreasing supply due to regular community-organized burns. Unlike many meme tokens, BONK's initial distribution was a massive airdrop to existing Solana users rather than a presale or team allocation.
