In April of this year, due to community dissatisfaction with the pump selling of SOL, a chaotic battle against pump.fun's launchpad began. Auto.fun under Shaw, boop.fun under dingaling, and letsbonk.fun under bonk all experienced a brief FOMO before returning to silence.
On June 4, Tom, the founder of the Letsbonk.fun platform, announced the upcoming positive developments for the Bonk ecosystem, including hosting a hackathon and repurchasing tokens like $USELESS and $HOSICO. This gradually led to the revival of the Bonk ecosystem. Recently, the leading token in the ecosystem, $USELESS, surpassed a market cap of $100 million, reopening the ceiling for the platform and reigniting community enthusiasm. This article shares five quality targets worth paying attention to in the Bonk ecosystem.
$USELESS: A "Useless" Faith Experiment
"If you missed $PEPE and $FARTCOIN, then you better take a serious look at $USELESS this time." This is a target repeatedly recommended and heavily invested in by Bonk Guy. Its narrative revolves around the phrase "Crypto is useless," a mockery from mainstream elites like Bill Gates and Jamie Dimon, which inversely constructs a self-deprecating, useless, yet highly viral meme narrative system.
This is a token that requires no disguise: it does not claim to be Layer1, AI, or RWA, but directly tells all traders that the token is useless; the more it rises, the "more useless" it becomes, and the "more useless" it is, the more it rises. When news media headlines read, "$USELESS market cap surpasses $100 million," it ironically becomes the strongest advertisement.
Bonk Guy's performance also confirms this point: having spent $400,000 to build a position in $USELESS, it has now achieved a return rate of nearly 5 times, amounting to $1.8 million.
$HOSICO: The First Meme Coin to Break the Platform Ceiling
Hosico is a project launched on the first day of BONK platform and is a key target that opened the early ceiling of the platform, with a peak market cap exceeding $50 million.
Its prototype is an orange cat with 1.8 million followers on Instagram. The token team has created a warm narrative for Hosico's universe: "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. With an active community and unique visual style, it is currently 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 plays basketball in the variety show "Idol Producer," featuring the BGM "Only Because You're Too Beautiful." Its adapted versions have become widely popular on Chinese social media, sparking a wave of creative works from netizens.
$IKUN is more than just a humorous project; it embodies the Bonk platform's respect for Chinese people and its determination to explore the Chinese market. The project team has clearly engaged with the Chinese community, with Bonk Guy, Tom, and others personally entering the market to buy or support, demonstrating their recognition of the project as a "bridge for Chinese narratives."
$NYLA: Community-Driven AI Agent
NYLA's functionality revolves around "tweeting to operate": it is an agent that combines Eliza and Siri, allowing users to trade, transfer, issue tokens, and archive through posts on X, and in the future, it will integrate on-chain fund analysis and smart CA tracking, with the token's market cap once nearing $10 million.
Dev @shax_btc has a strong background, having worked at JPMorgan and handled data mining for Trump's campaign team. He has a good personal relationship with Tom, and the project received Tom's attention early on, 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, creating many Bonk-style images and attracting numerous members to join the community for collaborative development.
$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 held a month-long hackathon competition, encouraging more developers to create technical tokens on Letsbonk.fun. The prize pool totaled $200,000, with the first-place individual prize reaching $140,000, and the winner would also receive a 1% share of the project's transaction fees. Currently, the first place is Delegate.fun, and as a result of this news, its token $DEL achieved dozens of times in growth within two days.
Conclusion
Bonk is undergoing a critical moment of self-reconstruction within its ecosystem. The founder is personally involved, taking concrete actions to rebuild market confidence—from actively creating leading platform tokens, launching hackathon competitions, to repurchasing and supporting community tokens like $USELESS and $HOSICO, and backing builders who are genuinely working on-chain.
In this phase driven by community consensus and gradually clarifying narratives, more and more developers and players are returning. The influx of more participants brings in more funds and resources, forming a truly self-consistent ecological loop. Against the backdrop of the overall market sentiment not yet recovering, this "endogenous growth" of the Bonk ecosystem is particularly precious. For participants willing to bet, now may be the starting point for the next round of narratives.
