Learn how BONKfun works on Solana: fast no-code token launches, weekly fee distribution to BONK buy & burn, Raydium liquidity incentives, and community grants. Beginner-friendly steps, features, costs, and FAQs.
About BONKfun
BONKfun is a Solana-native token launch app that lets anyone create and launch a memecoin in a few clicks, then route it to trade on Solana DEXs. It’s designed for beginners: choose a name and supply, mint on-chain, and go live—no coding required. For traders, it’s a place to discover very early tokens and monitor what’s launching right now on Solana.
Beyond launches, BONKfun links activity back to the broader BONK ecosystem. A share of the platform’s fees is distributed weekly to buy and burn BONK and to fund liquidity incentives for RAY-BONK pools on Raydium, with another share reserved for community programs and grantees. This creates a repeatable loop where launches help support BONK liquidity and community development.
In mid-2025, BONKfun surged in popularity and—per industry coverage—overtook PumpFun by daily creator count/volumes, becoming one of the most used Solana launchpads (market share varies over time).
BONKfun Features
Here’s what you get when you launch or trade via BONKfun on Solana:
No-Code Token Creation
Create a coin—set name, ticker, and image; no code needed, just a Solana wallet.
Built-in trading interface
Buy and sell directly from the token’s page within the platform.
Token discovery feeds
Browse lists of new or trending launches to find tokens quickly.
What makes BONKfun special?
BONKfun blends a simple “create-and-launch” flow with a transparent revenue loop that directly benefits the BONK community. Every week, fees generated by the app are allocated by fixed percentages to: BONK buy & burn (25%), liquidity incentives for RAY-BONK pools (45%), and grants/community programs (30%)—a structure BONKfun publishes publicly and updates over time. This ties memecoin experimentation to measurable, on-chain support for liquidity and builders.
It’s also one of the most active Solana launchpads, with third-party trackers and media noting periods where BONKfun led the category by new launches and activity—useful context for traders who watch where “day-one” tokens appear. (Market share can change; always check current data.)

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to the most common questions about this tool
Is BONKfun only on Solana?
Yes—BONKfun is a Solana-based app. You’ll need a Solana wallet and SOL for fees.
Does BONKfun have its own token?
BONKfun centers activity around $BONK. A portion of BONKfun’s weekly fees buys and burns BONK, and incentivizes RAY-BONK liquidity; no separate “BONKfun token” is documented in the sources we reviewed.
Are new tokens auto-listed on Raydium?
New launches become tradable on Solana DEXs. Liquidity incentives for RAY-BONK are funded weekly at the platform level, but they’re not a guarantee of instant deep liquidity for every new token. Always check pool depth and slippage.
Where can I see how fees are used?
BONKfun publishes a Revenue Distribution page showing the weekly split: 25% BONK buy & burn, 45% RAY-BONK liquidity incentives, 30% community programs & grantees.
