## Function

BonkBot, often styled BONKbot, is a Telegram bot that lets users trade Solana tokens from a chat interface by pasting a contract address and tapping buy or sell. It targets simplicity over feature depth, which made it the common recommendation for beginners entering the [[trenches]] through Telegram. Each completed swap costs 1 percent of transaction value with no subscription, and cashback tiers reduce the effective fee to 0.75 percent at the highest level, according to reviews. Its defining economic loop ties it to the BONK memecoin: platform fees are used to buy BONK, a portion of which is burned permanently, and reviews also describe 10 percent of collected fees routing to the BONK DAO.

## Use in the trenches

BonkBot rose during the first great [[pump.fun]] wave, when Telegram bots were the fastest practical way to buy a token seconds after launch. Traders used it for quick entries and exits, [[sniping]] new pairs, and holding through [[graduation]], while the constant BONK buy pressure from fees made the bot itself part of the BONK community's flywheel narrative. It competed directly with [[Trojan]] and [[Maestro]] and later ceded research heavy flow to terminals like [[Photon]], [[Axiom]], and [[GMGN]].

## History

BonkBot appeared in 2023 within the expanding ecosystem of Solana Telegram bots and became one of the highest volume bots of the 2024 memecoin cycle. It later became part of the broader Bonk Inc. constellation that also includes the [[letsbonk.fun]] launchpad. Coverage of Q1 2026 reported 10.44 million dollars in quarterly revenue for that combined entity, a 45 percent increase year over year, while BonkBot's standalone fees were reported around 667 thousand dollars per month by mid 2026, well below cycle peaks.

## Status in 2026

BonkBot remains operational in 2026 as one of the leading Telegram bots by volume, though the center of gravity of Solana trading has shifted to web terminals.
