What is BONK? What is the goal of BONK?

Bonk is a dog-themed token meme that aims to revitalize the Solana ecosystem. Bonk was launched on Solana in December 2022, followed by an airdrop of approximately half of the tokens issued. These tokens were primarily distributed to developers, NFT enthusiasts on Solana, investors, and other key players in the ecosystem.

According to official introduction, Bonk has issued a total of 100 trillion BONK tokens, and 50% of the tokens will be airdropped to the Solana community, including developers of LamportDAO (LamportDAO is the center of Solana builders), holders of NFT projects such as Famous Fox Federation, and even DeGods, who previously announced their migration to other chains.

The specific distribution of airdrops is as follows:

20% for the Solana NFT collection, including 297,000 individual NFTs

15% for early openbook traders

10% for Solana artists and collectors

5% for Solana developers

Most of the remaining supply is also locked in vesting contracts for BONK contributors.

Interestingly, when BONK just announced the airdrop, DeGods and y00ts founder Frank were not optimistic about the project. But after seeing BONK mobilize the community's enthusiasm and become a hot project, Frank apologized again, saying that BONK was unbelievably good and looked like a great community. He also apologized for his previous negative comments about BONK.

The project's initiators decided to burn their originally planned issuance to support the price. The impact on SOL was immediate, with its price rising from $8 to $25 in less than 3 weeks, while Bonk's price soared by more than 2000%.

The emergence of $BONK is like timely help to the Solana community, which not only revitalizes the community but also alleviates the shadow of the FTX incident. Especially in early January this year, when the price of Solana tokens fell to about $8, the frenzy caused by $BONK helped reignite the enthusiasm of Solana users and developers.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization has increased by 0.52% in the past day and currently stands at $1.61 trillion. Transaction volume also increased by 2.65% to $67.82 billion. This increase suggests that the market is conveying mostly bullish sentiment, as the market capitalization has seen a significant jump over the past day.

Bonk cryptocurrency has experienced a sharp rise in recent days, attracting widespread attention from cryptocurrency enthusiasts. Bonk's price rose by 108.05% to $0.00002914. At the same time, the trading volume of the token also increased sharply in the past 24 hours, reaching $828.27 million.

Pepecoin rose 2%

Although the coin has seen significant price volatility over the past week, further gains appear to be brewing as the price gradually regains momentum. In addition, the coin’s trading volume has also increased significantly by 45.98% in the past 24 hours.

1000SATS price increased by 33%

The price of 1000SATS has increased significantly by 32.95% in the past 24 hours and is currently valued at $0.0008148. Additionally, the coin’s 24-hour trading volume increased by 100.79% to $686.72 million.
