About Bonk (BONK)

Bonk (BONK) is a cryptocurrency on Solana, launched in December 2022 by a group of pseudoanonymous developers and community members within the ecosystem.

Self-described in its white paper as “the dog coin of the people”, Bonk initially began as a memecoin token, without inherent value or utility. Instead, its value was derived from social sentiment, fuelled by memes, internet jokes, or viral projects. Over time, the token has evolved into a utility across several Solana decentralized apps (dapps) such as BonkBot, and BonkSwap

Bonk is governed by the BONK decentralized autonomous organization (Bonk DAO), and utilizes a burn mechanism to potentially drive its price up over time. Owners of BONK are typically Solana ecosystem participants and DeFi traders.

BONK market moves

Powered by MetaMask Market Insights


24h change: -2.17%. From $0.00000376 to $0.00000368.

  • An attacker spent roughly $4.4 million to acquire enough BONK to satisfy the 1% quorum requirement. With participation at just 2.9%, a proposal passed that transferred about 4.4 trillion BONK worth $20 million from the treasury. BonkDAO identified the purchase wallets on major exchanges and is coordinating recovery efforts while notifying law enforcement. The event highlights risks in low-participation, token-weighted voting systems.
  • Analysis notes BONK's launchpad and other features as differentiators from pure memecoins in the Solana ecosystem. This positioning continues despite recent governance challenges. The project maintains on-chain activity including noted whale inflows in recent days. Such developments reflect broader efforts to build utility around the community-driven token.

24h change: +1.84%. From $0.00000369 to $0.00000376.

  • An attacker bought enough BONK to meet the low 1 percent voting quorum and passed a proposal transferring a large amount of tokens from the treasury. The project confirmed it as a malicious governance exploit rather than a smart contract flaw and is coordinating with exchanges and law enforcement on recovery. This event highlights how low voter turnout in DAOs can allow influence to be acquired for far less than the value extracted. It has contributed to recent price pressure and renewed talks about improving decentralized project safeguards.
  • Discussions continue around the relative strengths of BONK-associated launch mechanisms versus newer platforms like Pump. Some users argue established memes with history perform better regardless of launch method. The conversation reflects broader questions about sustainability in the Solana memecoin space following recent project setbacks. News coverage of the DAO incident has amplified scrutiny of BONK ecosystem mechanics.

24h change: -8.33%. From $0.00000401 to $0.00000368.

  • A single wallet spent approximately $4.4 million to acquire BONK tokens and gain enough voting power to pass a malicious proposal. With only seven votes cast out of more than 18,000 DAO members and a low 1 percent quorum, the proposal executed automatically and transferred 4.426 trillion BONK worth about $20 million to the attacker on July 6. BonkDAO has identified the wallets involved, notified law enforcement, and is coordinating with exchanges, bridges, and the Solana Foundation for recovery. This event reveals how token-weighted voting with low participation thresholds can expose treasuries to legal but malicious actions.
  • The governance attack succeeded during a period of low voter turnout and highlighted weaknesses in participation-based safeguards. BonkDAO is considering measures such as higher quorum requirements, timelocks, and review periods to protect future treasuries. You can see this sparking wider conversations about how meme coin projects should design governance to balance decentralization with security. The incident serves as a case study for similar DAOs holding large liquid reserves in volatile tokens.
  • The token declined around 8 percent in the period immediately after the governance attack became public. Trading activity increased as the market reacted to news of the $20 million loss and ongoing recovery developments. You may observe continued price pressure amid broader questions about project fundamentals and meme coin risks. Recent 7-day performance shows underperformance relative to the wider crypto market.

24h change: -2.00%. From $0.00000408 to $0.000004.

  • An anonymous wallet spent roughly $4.4 million acquiring BONK tokens to gain voting power and pass a proposal that transferred about 4.426 trillion BONK worth $20 million from the treasury. The vote saw minimal participation and relied on a 1% quorum rule during a period of low activity, with no smart contract exploit involved. BonkDAO notified law enforcement, identified exchange wallets used in the purchase, and is coordinating with exchanges, bridges, and the Solana Foundation on recovery. The incident highlights structural risks in token-weighted voting systems that have low voter turnout.
  • Recent roundups name BONK among leading Solana meme assets due to its established ecosystem, over one million wallets, and the activity of its associated launchpad. Analysts note its foundational role even as newer tokens emerge in the space. This comes despite the recent governance event, with focus on liquidity improvements and product integrations for 2026. The narrative points to sustained relevance tied to broader Solana ecosystem momentum.
  • Multiple analyses place BONK near cycle lows and a key descending trendline, with the current price around $0.00000395 to $0.000004. A confirmed break above the trendline is cited as a potential reversal signal while support near $0.00000390 is watched closely. Longer-term forecasts reference Fibonacci extensions but stress the need to hold current levels first. This technical setup is discussed alongside broader market rotation possibilities for altcoins including BONK.

24h change: -1.08%. From $0.00000412 to $0.00000408.

  • An attacker purchased roughly $4 million of BONK to gain sufficient voting power in a low-turnout proposal. The malicious proposal passed and automatically transferred about 4.4 trillion BONK worth $20 million from the treasury to attacker-controlled wallets. BonkDAO has confirmed the event, contacted authorities, and is working with exchanges such as Upbit which paused deposits. This has prompted broader questions about safeguards for meme coin DAOs that rely on token-weighted voting with limited participation.
  • Publicly listed companies including BONK Holdings (rebranded from Safety Shot) have accumulated significant BONK positions for their corporate treasuries and are actively managing them through Solana DeFi activities such as staking and liquidity provision. A core BONK contributor was appointed to an advisory board role. This represents growing institutional experimentation with meme coins as treasury assets beyond pure retail speculation.
  • BONK has burned a substantial portion of its supply through ecosystem activity including its launchpad LetsBonk.fun which contributes to buybacks and burns. A planned burn of 1 trillion BONK tokens is tied to reaching 1 million on-chain holders. These features alongside integrations such as BonkBot and Solana DeFi tools aim to create sustainable utility and reduce circulating supply over time.
