How to Launch a meme coin on Bonk.fun launchpad (Formerly Letsbonk)

In early August 2025, Bonk launchpad (formerly Letsbonk) hit a market share of over 60% among the top launchpads on Solana, well ahead of Pump.fun at under 25%.

In the months that followed, pump.fun reclaimed its spot as the most-used launchpad, but Bonk.fun has held its ground as its main competitor.

If you want to launch a memecoin on Bonk.fun (formerly known as Letsbonk) quickly, cleanly, and effectively, keep reading. This post walks you through the full step-by-step process for making the most of this launchpad’s popularity. We’ve also included a video walkthrough below if you prefer that format.

How to Launch a meme coin on Bonk.fun: Step by Step

Launching a token on Bonk.fun is straightforward. You can do it directly on their platform. But if you’re serious about hitting a high market cap as fast as possible, you’ll need more than the basics. You need a solid strategy.

Here’s the step-by-step process we recommend for launching your meme coin on Bonk.fun successfully:

1. Define your meme concept and set up your social channels

One of the most important things you can do is pick a meme concept that actually resonates with investors. To get there, stay plugged into what’s trending in the memecoin space and keep an eye on the latest cultural and social news. Anything with viral potential can become the hook for a strong meme.

You can also browse the Bonk.fun platform (Letsbonk) to see which memecoins are gaining traction right now. Use that as a reference point and build a meme that stands out in the market.

Once you’ve locked in your meme concept, set up social accounts for your token. It makes a real difference: it builds organic trust in the project and drives external traffic. At minimum, create a Telegram and an X account.

2. Launch your memecoin with a bundler

The next step is launching your meme coin using the bonk Bundler (https://tools.smithii.io/bonk-bundler/solana) offered by Smithii.

The advantage of using this tool is that you can avoid sniper bots that buy tokens the moment they launch and eat into your future profits. With the Bundler, you buy your own token across up to 5 wallets in the exact same instant your token goes live on Bonk.fun. Here’s how:

1. Connect your wallet that works on the Solana network.
2. Fill in the fields: name, ticker (symbol), description, image, and social links (optional).
3. Set the amount of $SOL to buy your memecoin with your main wallet.
4. Add up to 4 more wallets by pasting each private key and choosing the $SOL amount to buy with each one to expand the bundle.
5. Click «Bonk Launch & Buy» to launch your meme coin on launchpad while executing a bundle buy across multiple wallets.

That’s it! In just a few clicks, you can launch your meme coin on Bonk.fun (formerly LetsBonk) with a bundle and take full advantage of launching across multiple wallets.

A common and effective practice (especially in bull market conditions) is to launch your memecoin with at least $10 in SOL. That’s considered the minimum for a solid start and meaningfully better odds of success.

3. Post the Contract Address on Social Media

A solid tactic for bringing in organic investors after launching your memecoin with a bundler is to post the CA on X or in Telegram channels.

This generates interest from the most active degens hunting for new opportunities, and attracts sniper bots configured to buy tokens from posted CAs.

We recommend using a personal account for this and, if you want extra reach, you can also pay an established X account to post on your behalf.

Also consider expanding to other channels like Reddit. Here’s our post on how to promote a memecoin.

4. Boost Your Metrics

As you probably know, thousands of memecoins launch on Bonk.fun launchpad (formerly Letsbonk) every single day. To keep your launch from getting buried in the noise, you need to rank on this Launchpad’s key lists, like “Heating up” or “Last trade” (combined with the “memes” filter).

It helps to understand how the Bonk.fun launchpad algorithm actually works: it ranks memecoins based on transaction volume and price movement.

How do you influence that? The first step is what we covered earlier: drive organic traffic so real investors put actual money into your project.

From there, give your token’s metrics a real boost using the Bonk Volume bot, which lets you grow the maker count and push the price up. For a deeper look at how this tool works, read the guide to using Bonk.fun’s Volume Bot.

Why Launch a memecoin on LetsBonk?

You’d be launching your memecoin on one of the most active launchpads on Solana, which translates to real opportunities to grow and graduate your project. That’s exactly why Bonk.fun ranks among the top launchpads on Solana.

Bonk.fun launchpad is also backed by the dev team behind the token $BONK token, who have built a solid reputation for their community-first approach and innovative dev ecosystem. Both factors strengthen the launchpad and, by extension, every memecoin launched on it.

To top it off, in September 2025 Bonk.fun locked in a strategic partnership with World Liberty Financial (WLFI), enabling this launchpad to support token creation with USD1 as the underlying pair, one of the USD stablecoins. The partnership is still actively developing and signals clear institutional intent to contribute to the Solana ecosystem.

Launching on Bonk.fun vs. Launching on Pump.Fun

Bonk.fun (formerly Letsbonk) didn’t become one of the most-used launchpads on Solana by accident. There are solid reasons behind it, especially for token creators. Here are some key differences:

• Creator reward system: Both platforms give creators a 0.1% commission per swap (up from 0.05%). On top of that, the total 1% fee per swap on LetsBonk is strategically reinvested, split between validators, tech development, and $BONK token buyback/burn.
• Technical integration and liquidity: Bonk.fun automatically integrates tokens with liquidity pools on Raydium and uses trading bots that provide instant, multi-exchange liquidity. Pump.fun doesn’t.
• LetsBonk Hackathon: a competition for Bonk.fun token creators to build the fastest-growing memecoin. Devs earn between 0.5% and 1.5% of profits based on factors like trading fees or market cap reached.
