Bonk

BONK is a dog-themed meme coin on Solana, launched by airdrop in December 2022, with a growing set of apps around it.

Bonk (BONK) is a meme coin on Solana. It launched on Christmas Day 2022, after the collapse of FTX, as a 'community coin': half of the 100 trillion tokens were airdropped to Solana NFT holders, traders, artists and developers, with no presale or venture investors. Its contributors are pseudonymous.

Around the coin, contributors have built apps: BonkSwap (an exchange), BONK Trade (spot and perpetual markets), BONKUJI (trading-card pack ripping), BonkPlay (games), BonkBot (a Telegram trading bot) and BONK Fun, a launchpad for new meme tokens. Fees from the launchpad have been used to repurchase and burn BONK, and supply has fallen to about 88 trillion.

A Nasdaq-listed company, Bonk, Inc. (formerly Safety Shot), holds BONK as a treasury asset and owns a share of the launchpad's revenue. A BONK exchange-traded product trades on the SIX Swiss Exchange, and a US BONK ETF has been filed.

A BONK core contributor has compared a fresh meme-coin trade to a seven-leg parlay bet. BONK's price on 1 October 2026 was about 94% below its November 2024 high.
