How to launch on Solana with BONK.fun
BONK.fun is the BONK-ecosystem memecoin launchpad on Solana—curve trading first, then migration toward Raydium liquidity—with fee flows that often support BONK buybacks.
The short answer
BONK.fun (also known as LetsBONK.fun in older writeups) is a Solana memecoin launchpad closely tied to the BONK ecosystem. Creators deploy a token onto a bonding-curve style market; when the curve completes, liquidity typically migrates toward Raydium (LaunchLab / AMM rails). A meaningful share of platform fee economics is marketed as supporting BONK buybacks and ecosystem funding—not as a free lunch for holders. In Trenchables Launch, select the Solana rail and the BONK.fun provider when you want that path instead of Pump.fun.
What BONK.fun is
Think of BONK.fun as a Pump.fun-class curve launchpad with a different brand, liquidity destination story, and fee narrative. Public explainers consistently describe it as built on or tightly coupled to Raydium LaunchLab infrastructure, with successful curves migrating liquidity toward Raydium rather than PumpSwap.
The product pitch for creators is still the same category problem: fast no-code create, instant curve trading, automated graduation, LP handling designed to reduce “rug the LP” theater. The product pitch for BONK holders is fee-driven buybacks—verify current percentages on live docs or dashboards before you care.
BONK.fun vs Pump.fun
- Audience and brand. Pump.fun remains the default meme venue by mindshare. BONK.fun recruits traders who already live in BONK-related flows.
- Post-curve liquidity. Pump.fun graduates into PumpSwap. BONK.fun is described as graduating toward Raydium rails—confirm the actual pool and LP burn behavior on the mint you care about.
- Fee story. Pump publishes creator/protocol curve fees clearly. BONK.fun marketing emphasizes ecosystem buybacks; do not assume the same 1.25% curve math as Pump without checking live parameters.
- Identity still is the mint. Ticker collisions exist everywhere. Explorer the mint, not the name.
Using BONK.fun inside Trenchables
- Open /launch and keep the Solana rail selected.
- In the provider switcher, choose BONK.fun (not Pump.fun).
- Complete coin details, artwork, and any disclosed buy the panel asks for.
- Connect a Solana wallet, review the simulation / receipt fields, and sign only if the network label matches what you intended (devnet practice vs mainnet).
Provider-specific knobs (cashback-style labels, migration notes) are product UI—not guarantees of on-chain economics. If the panel and the explorer disagree, trust the explorer.
After create
Confirm the mint on a Solana explorer. Watch whether the token is still on-curve or already migrated. Post-migration, quotes often route through Raydium and aggregators such as Jupiter—see Jupiter and DEX routing.
