Bonking past $FARTCOIN and on its way to surpass $TRUMP, once again, the infamous dog coin $BONK is on the rise, and we want to find out exactly what’s going on.

So, get that coffee ready and let’s take a deep dive into Bonk!

What is Bonk?

Bonk is a memecoin that was first launched as a Christmas present on Christmas Day 2022 on the Solana blockchain, after conducting one of the largest airdrops in crypto history. The $BONK mission is simple and what every degen truly desires: liquidity on Solana.

Created by an anonymous team, but dedicated to the community, Bonk is intended to be a memecoin that is used and available across all the best dApps on Solana, enabling $BONK HODLers to benefit from being part of the community and “where everyone gets a fair shot”.

Bonk Ecosystem

With the aim of becoming “the community coin of Solana”, Bonk has already accomplished over 400+ integrations with the best dApps, including Backpack, Phantom, Wormhole and many others. However, Bonk has built quite the ecosystem of its own…

Let’s take a closer look:

Bonkbot – Solana-exclusive Telegram trading bot

Bonkswap – Native AMM DEX 

Moonwalk Fitness – Walk and Earn $BONK

Bonkbets – Web3 Sportsbook

Bonkrewards – Lock $BONK to earn from the $BONK rewards pool

BonkScooper – Solana Wallet cleaner

And so much more that makes Bonk a unified community!

Why all these created and integrated products, you may ask?

Well, it’s for you, the 911K+ $BONK HODLers who want an ecosystem dedicated to the community and rewards you along the way. $BONK expands beyond Solana and is now marking its paw-prints over 13 blockchains; this is only the beginning.

At a glance, it’s clear that Bonk is striving to create a lucrative ecosystem across all the greatest chains, but primarily on Solana, the origin chain and where it currently holds its position as the second largest memecoin behind $TRUMP.

$BONK Airdrop

As we mentioned, $BONK was first introduced as an airdrop and 26T tokens (50% of the entire token supply) were distributed to loyal developers, NFT creators & collectors, and active community members! Needless to say, this was done with no marketing or pre-announcement; just a straight-up airdrop.

Conclusion

According to CoinMarketCap, at the time of writing, $BONK is trading at $0.00002001 with a large market cap of $1.57B, ranking it the 53rd largest crypto. To date, $BONK is up over 18,166% since its inception and has seen an ATH of $0.00005916, down roughly 66.12%.

The question is, does $BONK have what it takes to surpass its previous ATH?

Well, many things are to be taken into consideration, but with a surge in dog-themed memecoins, a thriving Solana network, a bull run and a memecoin narrative, $BONK does have big potential to break that old ATH!
