Solana’s Dog-Themed Meme Coin $BONK Officially Announces Launch of Bonk Fun
On April 25, the official team behind Solana’s dog-themed meme coin $BONK announced a collaboration with Raydium, the largest decentralized exchange in the Solana ecosystem, to launch a new asset launch platform called Bonk Fun. This platform is jointly developed by members of the Bonk community and the Raydium team, focusing on the issuance of meme coins, aiming to inject more vitality and innovation into the Solana ecosystem.
Bonk’s Journey: From Meme Coin to Ecosystem Driver
Bonk was officially launched on December 25, 2022, claiming to be “the people’s coin” with a Shiba Inu theme, quickly becoming the focus of the Solana ecosystem. At that time, Bonk airdropped 50% of its total supply to the Solana community, a move that received widespread user support. In early 2023, after being listed on several exchanges, Bonk’s price soared over 2000% within just one week, becoming a hot topic in the market.
Bonk Fun Platform: Lowering Barriers, Stimulating Innovation
The Bonk Fun platform is the latest collaborative achievement between Bonk and Raydium. This platform allows users to launch any token directly on the website, with simple operations and low entry barriers, particularly suitable for meme coin creators and enthusiasts. The Bonk official team stated that part of the platform’s fees will be used to support the stability of the Solana network, with specific measures including the use of BONKsol validation nodes, as well as repurchasing and burning $BONK to enhance token value and give back to the community.
Raydium’s Role: From DEX to Ecosystem Infrastructure
Raydium, as the largest decentralized exchange in the Solana ecosystem, is renowned for its high throughput and low trading fees. In March 2025, Raydium launched its own asset launch platform, LaunchLab, and terminated its collaboration with another meme coin platform, Pump.fun. The partnership with Bonk to launch Bonk Fun further strengthens Raydium’s influence in the Solana ecosystem, providing users with a more diversified asset issuance and trading experience.
