anchored·3sjvbR…V7odSummary
BONK.fun (also marketed as LetsBONK.fun) is a no-code meme coin launchpad on the Solana blockchain, launched in April 2025 as a joint initiative between the BONK community and Raydium protocol. The platform rapidly captured majority market share from Pump.fun by mid-2025 before losing significant ground later that year, and suffered a domain-level security breach in March 2026 caused by a social engineering attack on its domain service provider — an incident attributed to the third-party infrastructure provider, not the platform's own code or contracts. The platform is operationally linked to Bonk, Inc. (Nasdaq: BNKK), a publicly traded company that holds a revenue sharing interest in the platform.
