Frequently Asked Questions
Why was BONK created?
BONK was airdropped to the Solana community on Christmas 2022, right after the FTX collapse devastated Solana's ecosystem. It was intended as a morale boost and community gift, airdropping to developers, NFT holders, and DeFi users.
Where do I store BONK?
Any Solana-compatible wallet — Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack. BONK is an SPL token on Solana, so Ethereum wallets will not work.
Is BONK risky?
Yes. Like all meme tokens, BONK is highly volatile. It has no underlying utility beyond community sentiment. Meme tokens can gain or lose large percentages of their value quickly. Only invest what you can afford to lose.
Can I sell or swap BONK?
Swaps sells stablecoins only — USDC, USDT and USDB — to a bank account in your name; Bonk can't be sold on Swaps. Swapping is paused on Swaps while we rebuild it; buying works.
