Introduction

The current market has been ushered with a frenzy of meme tokens popping off on Solana. From BONK to WIF and many more, these tokens have captured the retails' attention. However, buying these could be a bit of a pain. While birdeye does provide a widget powered by Jupiter to help you swap easily, that might be hectic to some extent if you're trading on your phone.

To ease this trading process for everyone, there have been a new wave of dApps that help you trade from Telegram itself. What started with Unibot on Ethereum is being continued and improved upon by BONKBot on Solana.

In this blog, we'll be taking a look at what BONKBot actually is, how is it useful to you and finally how you can swap tokens in just a few simple steps!

So, without further ado, let's get started!

What is BONKBot

If you've been living under a rock, disconnected from the ecosystem, you probably don't know what BONK is. Well, to keep it simple, BONK is the ecosystem's meme token!

During the depths of bear market post FTX collapse, BONK emerged on Solana to help the community and builders, despite being labelled as "Just another meme token" . BONK took the ecosystem by storm, integrating with 130+ dApps and building a strong community of over 450,000 members!

We've written a whole blog on BONK and why they are pivotal to Solana that you can check out!

In our last blog, we covered BONKBot in a brief manner however, in this blog we'll be taking a look into why it is a useful tool for traders on Solana.

To give a brief, BONKbot offers a seamless trading experience via Telegram.

  • With instant transactions and no need for wallet connections or slippage adjustments, it's designed for speed and convenience.
  • It allows for swift execution while charging a mere 1% fee which ultimately goes out to the community.
  • 100% of fees from trades go directly to buying $BONK, and 10% of all fees instantly burn $BONK

Overall BONKbot gives you the competitive edge over DEX users with faster trade executions and seamless trading experience.

Core features of BONKBot

BONKBot has several major features that sets it apart from other similar bot trading dApps.

  • Trade instantly by just pasting token/contract address!
  • It's fast. Very. Fast!
  • Provides a comprehensive trade analysis
  • Easily withdraw SOL and export private keys
  • Advanced features like MEV protection, Referrals and more!
  • Community support - All fees comes back to you!

Activate Auto Buy so that when you paste a token address BONKbot immediately purchases the coin. Bypassing any complexities of connecting wallet, setting slippages and more.

All trades are powered by Jupiter so you know you're getting the best prices with the least slippage allowing you to trade without any worries.

BONKBot also provides a detailed trade analysis from market cap, price change and other information of the token. It also shows you your PnL statement to help you make any decisions on the go. Not only that but it also allows for simple withdrawal process and export of private keys to help keep your assets secure

#YourKeysYourCoins

Here comes the cherry on the cake; BONKBot allows MEV protection in partnership with Jito Labs! For those that may not know, MEV stands for Miner Extractable Value which refers to the additional profit miners can make by reordering, including, or excluding transactions from blocks they mine.

This can involve front-running, sandwich attacks, and other strategies to exploit the order in which transactions are processed in a block, potentially impacting the fairness and efficiency of decentralised networks.

Protection from any such unfairness is important which is why this feature is crucial in protecting you from any frontruns or exploits. You can utilise their two modes - Turbo and Secure based on your preference and sit back and enjoy!

Finally, refer your frens and earn 30% for the first month, 20% in the second and then 10% for lifetime on trading fee.

Being an integral part of the BONK token which heavily focuses on its community, BONKbot plays a pivotal role in supporting the BONK ecosystem via a Bonk Buy and Burn mechanism which ensures that 100% of trading fees generated through BONKbot are reinvested into purchasing BONK tokens, injecting liquidity into the market and burning 10% of all fees collected.
