In April this year, due to community dissatisfaction with the pump selling of SOL, a massive launchpad battle against pump.fun began. Shaw's auto.fun, dingaling's boop.fun, and bonk's letsbonk.fun all experienced a brief FOMO before returning to silence.
On June 4th, Tom, the founder of the Letsbonk.fun platform, announced the positive developments of the Bonk ecosystem, including hosting a hackathon and repurchasing tokens such as USELESS and HOSICO. The Bonk ecosystem is gradually reviving. Recently, the leading token USELESS had a market capitalization exceeding $100 million, once again breaking the ceiling for the platform and rekindling community enthusiasm. This article shares five high-quality targets in the Bonk ecosystem.
USELESS: An 'useless' faith experiment.
"If you missed PEPE and FARTCOIN, you better take a serious look at USELESS this time." This is a target that Bonk Guy has repeatedly recommended and heavily invested in. Its narrative is built on the phrase 'Crypto is useless,' a mockery from mainstream elites like Bill Gates and Jamie Dimon, creating a self-deprecating, useless yet highly viral meme narrative system.
This is a token that requires no disguise: without claiming to be Layer 1, AI, or RWA, it directly tells all traders that the token is useless; the more it rises, the more 'useless' it becomes, and the more 'useless' it is, the more it rises. When news media headlines read: 'USELESS market cap exceeds $100 million', it ironically becomes the strongest advertisement.
HOSICO: The first meme coin to open the platform's ceiling.
Hosico was launched on the first day of the BONK platform and was a key target for opening the platform's early ceiling, with its highest market cap exceeding $50 million.
Its prototype is an orange cat with 1.8 million followers on Instagram. The token team has crafted the universe of Hosico with a very warm narrative: 'Child of the Stars,' 'Guardian of Lost Dreams,' a meme coin born for wishes.
Tom, the founder of the Letsbonk.fun platform, has repeatedly shared Hosico content on X and expressed support. The community is active, the visual style is unique, and its strong virality makes it the pure meme token with the most brand potential in the ecosystem.
IKUN: Building a bridge between the Bonk ecosystem and the Chinese market.
IKUN is the most widely circulated meme on the Chinese internet, originating from a scene where Chinese star Cai Xukun appears in a basketball scene in the reality show 'Idol Producer' with the background music (Only Because You Are Too Beautiful), and its adapted version has become widely popular on Chinese social media, sparking creativity among netizens and resulting in a plethora of derivative works.
IKUN is more than just a humorous project; it embodies the Bonk platform's respect for Chinese people and determination to explore the Chinese market. The project team clearly engages with the Chinese community, with Bonk Guy, Tom, and others personally entering to purchase or support, showing their recognition of the project as a 'bridge for Chinese narratives.'
NYLA: Community-led AI Agent.
The functions of NYLA revolve around 'tweeting as action': it is an agent that combines Eliza and Siri, allowing trading, transferring, issuing tokens, and archiving through posting on X. In the future, it will also integrate on-chain fund analysis and smart CA tracking, with its token market cap once nearing $10 million.
Dev @shax_btc has a strong background, having previously worked at JPMorgan and undertaken data mining for Trump's campaign team. He has a good personal relationship with Tom and received Tom's attention early in the project, with Tom personally purchasing Nyla to show support.
Additionally, NYLA is one of the few AI projects with a meme feel, fully aligning with the aesthetic style of the Bonk platform. It has created many Bonk-style images and attracted many members to join the community for collaborative building.
DEL: The dark horse of the hackathon competition.
Delegate.fun is a no-code automation platform built on the Solana blockchain, focusing on 'no-code' on-chain operation automation solutions. Through the 'Delegate Wallet + Trigger Task Flow' mechanism, users can complete complex operations such as airdrops, burning, locking, and Launchpad integration without writing contracts.
Recently, the Bonk platform hosted a month-long hackathon competition, encouraging more developers to create technical tokens on Letsbonk.fun. The prize pool totals $200,000, with the first place prize alone reaching $140,000, and they can continuously earn 1% of the project's transaction fees. Currently, the first place is Delegate.fun, and as a result of this news, its token $DEL has achieved several times growth within two days.
Bonk is undergoing a critical moment of ecosystem self-reconstruction. The founder is personally engaging, reshaping market confidence through practical actions—from proactively creating a leading platform token and launching a hackathon competition to repurchasing and supporting community tokens like USELESS and HOSICO, supporting builders who are genuinely working on-chain.
At this stage, driven by community consensus with gradually clearer narratives, more and more developers and players are returning. As more people come to play, more funds and resources flow in, forming a truly self-consistent ecological closed loop. In the context where the overall market sentiment has yet to recover, this 'endogenous growth' of the Bonk ecosystem is particularly precious. For participants willing to place their bets, now may be the starting point for the next narrative.
