do you ever wonder why some platforms survive bear markets while everything around them falls apart?
$138M in volume in march alone, in a bear market.
@bonkfun is putting up that kind of monthly volume while most projects have slowed down or gone quiet.
january was $460M, february was $93M, march closed at $138M and the volume does not drop, even in a bear.
@theonlynom says it in the clip:
"bonkfun and bonkbot are probably two pretty core products... right now, definitely like bonkbot, bonkfun, those are the two headliners that people are looking at in terms of the success there."
and the numbers back that up.
that kind of volume does not happen by accident.
for every trade on the platform, ~1% is charged and half gets burned as BONK. $692M went through that in Q1 alone.
in march, their domain got hijacked.
a third-party registrar got social engineered, a phishing page took over temporarily, around $30K in user losses.
the smart contracts and team accounts were untouched throughout. domain recovered march 18, relaunched march 19 and every affected user got 110% back including opportunity cost.
and march still closed at $138M.
you can check it yourself.
bonk inc drops public quarterly reports with wallet-reconciled figures you can verify on blockworks.
no other solana launchpad does this, not pumpfun.
and that is the difference between something people talk about and something people actually use.
