2022 has been a rough year for the cryptocurrency market due to the extremely volatile market conditions. The Solana community has been hit hard by the predatory practices of VC token holders and numerous highly-publicized events. Recently, Bonk has been introduced as the first Solana dog coin, and it aims to be the platform’s primary coin. At the same time, it has tasked itself with supporting and strengthening the community through its specialized token allocation.
What Is Bonk?
Bonk’s developers identified challenges that Solana faced well before the recent FTX debacle that sent SOL prices tumbling. This public blockchain platform had consistently been one of the higher-rated platforms, but recently, it has been impacted by nefarious players who have largely been interested in profiting from the platform rather than growing it.
Bonk is a meme token that launched on Solana in December 2022 with an airdrop of approximately half of its token supply. Many of these tokens found their way into the crypto wallets of top NFT developers, investors and other key players. While this airdrop had an immediate and positive impact on the Solana price, the longer-term impact of Bonk’s debut on the Solana community is also promising.
