About Bonk

December 2022 was a rough time for Solana, post-FTX collapse, when Bonk arrived with 88.8 trillion tokens. Airdropped to NFT holders and DeFi users, it was a community-driven rally cry against the VC fallout. We think of it as Solana's way of saying, ‘We're still here,' with a cartoon dog leading the charge.

Bonk became a symbol of resilience, with its community flooding X with memes of that scrappy pup. It wove itself into Solana's DeFi and NFT ecosystems, proving it was more than a one-off gag. We were impressed when it landed on Coinbase, a sign that this underdog had earned its place among the bigger players.

What resonates with us about Bonk is its scrappy spirit. It's not about overengineered tech—it's about a community banding together through tough times. That dog's goofy grin reminds us that crypto can be a place for connection and defiance, even when the market's howling like a winter storm.
