How to Graduate a token on Bonk.fun (Grow Holders on the Former Letsbonk)

The main advantage of creating a token on a launchpad like Bonk.fun (formerly Letsbonk) is that devs can start building a holder base with a much lower upfront investment than launching on a DEX. That is possible because the launchpad allocates liquidity automatically.

The end goal is the project’s “graduation”. Once enough capital has been raised, the token officially launches with a liquidity pool on the corresponding DEX, and the LP tokens are burned to strengthen holder trust.

In the case of Bonk.fun (formerly LetsBonk), tokens graduate to Raydium’s Automated Market Maker (AMM), one of the most widely used DEX on the Solana network, which gives projects better growth potential and helps attract more investors.

In this post, we’ll cover everything you need to know to graduate your meme coin on Bonk.fun effectively (formerly LetBonk). Keep reading and put it into action as soon as you can.

What does it mean to graduate on Bonk.fun (formerly Letsbonk)?

It means your token is among the 1.06% of projects launched on LetsBonk that manage to migrate to Raydium after reaching a market cap of around 411 SOL, or roughly $58,300dólares (this value changes constantly based on market prices; this figure was recorded on 21 de noviembre del 2025).

This is also known as “clearing the bounding curve”.

It also means you start getting the benefits of having your project listed on a DEX like Raydium, with a much larger liquidity pool:

• Deeper market depth and lower volatility compared with a token that has thin liquidity.
• Massive visibility and exposure from being listed on a popular DEX.
• Access to integrations across the many dApps connected to Raydium, opening up a wider set of growth opportunities.

Key factors to consider before graduating

With meme coins, speed matters. Most tokens that graduate on Bonk.fun do it within just a few hours, while others take a couple of days. To really take advantage of this market’s dynamics, you need to execute your strategies fast.

To clear the bounding curve on Bonk.fun (previously Letsbonk), you need to understand the adjacent factors that influence or help you reach that goal.

I’m talking about the metrics and factors that directly push up the market cap of a token on Bonkfun. The key is to focus your efforts on attracting investors willing to hold the token.

That means we want to show up near the top of the “Last Trade” and “Heating Up” lists. To get there, you need to sustain high swap activity and steady price growth. Below, we’ll share a set of strategies to make your token bullish on Bonk.fun (formerly Letsbonk).

Strategies and tactics to get your meme coin graduated

A strong growth strategy starts with an effective token launch on LetsBonk. From there, it’s about placing the hook in the right spot so new holders keep coming in.

Collaborations and popular references

It’s always worth remembering that one of the keys to being the dev behind a successful memecoin, no matter where it launches, is knowing how to turn something culturally catchy into a simple concept that people instantly understand and feel something about.

The best move is to be first to capitalize on a viral idea, but you can also ride a wave that has just started forming.

With LetsBonk specifically, we’ve seen memecoins built around popular news, cute mascots, funny cartoons, anime characters, public figures, and even absurd ideas like a “USELESS coin”.

Collaborations, or even just getting other accounts to share your project, can help you reach new people and attract potential new investors. Set aside time to build partnerships and, more importantly, create content that others will want to share organically.

One common and effective move is to tap into whatever everyone is talking about at that moment. For example, you could create an image of your meme coin character shaking hands with Elon Musk. Good timing matters: knowing when to say something and how to frame it.

Keep Your Metrics Active

Even when you put real effort into marketing and organic promotion, it is normal for your token charts to sometimes go quiet or look dead. That is exactly what you want to avoid, because nobody wants to invest in that kind of token.

If you want to stay active and show up near the top of the lists I mentioned earlier, your best move is to use a Volume Bot for Bonk.fun. This tool lets you give your meme coin metrics a boost that looks practically organic.

Post Consistently on Socials

Remember, you only have a short window to keep the Hype and FOMO around investing in your meme coin alive, so it is important to stay active on social media during the first hours and days after launch.

We have seen X accounts for memecoins launched on Bonk.fun post more than 17 times in a single day. You should also get your project in front of people across channels like Telegram groups, X communities, Discord servers, Reddit communities, and more. Keep the tone natural and fresh.

Also, today AI is a powerful tool for creating content. Plenty of marketing teams already use AI to cover a large part of their publishing calendar.

Still, do not forget to share old-school memes that are meant to look “badly made”. That still works.

degen irony and humor

To graduate on Bonk.fun (formerly Letsbonk), you need a bold personality. The degen crowd does not care about whitepapers or promises to save the world. It reacts to memes, irony, and street-level crypto language. Use lines like “wen moon?”, “LFG”, “diamond hands”, and talk like you are part of the shitshow (because you are). If you try to sound serious, you have already lost.

Add a dose of satirical honesty: say things like “We are 100% hype, but isn’t 99% of the market too?”; mock boring roadmaps with a “rocketmap” packed with absurd goals. Build a narrative that is simple but iconic. The goal is for the community to be able to meme it.

Above all, do not be formal. Reply with gifs, crack jokes, and use pop culture. In this game, the meme is the marketing, and the projects that laugh at themselves the most are often the ones that end up in “Heating Up”. If you are not funny, you do not exist.

Using a bundle sell (optional)

Some devs behind projects launched on LetsBonk want to take out a percentage of profits before their memecoin graduates. In that case, it makes sense to use a bundle sell for Bonk.fun, which lets you sell part of your token in one bundle using up to 25 different wallets.

This tool helps avoid damaging the token’s reputation by using multiple wallets (bypassing dev tracking) and lets you make a clean withdrawal in a single move. Use it with restraint, only if you want to pull out some early profits.

Why Do Most Tokens Never Graduate?

In short, because many of them are projects that were never meant to grow, or they are rug pulls designed to scam investors. Since creating a meme coin on LetsBonk is so easy, anyone can spin one up in a few steps without putting in any capital.

It also happens because many people launch their memecoin with very little initial capital, which makes it hard to scale in such a competitive market, especially with sniper bots buying early positions. That usually leads to losses and liquidity getting drained.
