BONK pumps 30%, BONK DAO to burn 1 trillion coins ‘by Christmas’

Solana-based meme coin BONK has jumped 30% in the last 24 hours as the BONK DAO announces an ambitious plan to burn 1 trillion tokens through a community-driven campaign.

The price of Bonk (BONK) has also seen a 116% pump in the last seven days. The token currently holds a $3.49 billion market capitalization.

BONK is now the second-largest Solana (SOL) meme coin behind dogwifhat (WIF).

BONK’s BURNmas campaign details

The BONK DAO has unveiled “BURNmas.” The project has described this as the largest on-chain community-driven burn event in Solana’s history.

The campaign will run from November 15 at 12:01 am UTC through December 24, with the accumulated tokens scheduled for burning on Christmas Day at 12:01 am UTC.

The burn initiative introduces multiple engagement-based criteria for token burning.

Social media participation will trigger burns of 1,000 BONK for each #LetsBONK post on X. At the same time, new followers across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube will result in 10,000 BONK burns per platform. The campaign extends to various ecosystem activities.

BONK has established itself as a key meme coin in the Solana ecosystem, with its $3.49 billion market cap placing it just behind dogwifhat’s $3.75 billion valuation.

The DAO’s burn initiative spans multiple platforms and activities within the BONK ecosystem, including gaming, social media, and trading activities.
