Bitkub Online Co. Ltd. (Bitkub Exchange) and Bitkub Labs Co. Ltd. (Bitkub Academy) have announced a strategic collaboration with BONK, one of the most popular projects on the Solana network. This marks a significant milestone as BONK becomes the first Solana-based token to collaborate with both Bitkub entities, signaling a new era of cooperation within the Solana ecosystem in Thailand.
BONK: A True Community Token Driving Web3 Culture
BONK is the most integrated token within the Solana ecosystem, outside of SOL and USDC. Its expansion into Thailand allows Thai users to engage directly with culture tokens and their enthusiastic communities.
- Community-First Approach: Unlike tokens often controlled by Venture Capital (VC) funds, BONK has distributed nearly half of its total supply to those who help maintain the Solana blockchain, genuinely positioning it as the coin of the community.
- Real Utility: BONK is described as more than just a meme; it represents a thriving movement built around real utility. This includes its newly launched token launchpad, Bonk.fun, which is crucial for fueling grassroots innovation by empowering community-driven projects to launch and grow within the Solana ecosystem.
Atthakrit Chimplapibul, Co-founder and CEO of Bitkub Online Co. Ltd., expressed excitement about the partnership: “We’re excited to bring BONK’s ecosystem to Bitkub. It’s not just about the growing awareness of meme culture, it’s also about meaningful utility powered by the community. As Thailand’s leading digital asset platform, we’re committed to connecting our users with projects that reflect the future of decentralized culture and use-case-driven tokens.”
Educating the Thai Market on Social Tokens
The collaboration aims to leverage the new prosperous phase of the Thai market, especially after Bitkub Exchange secured its brokerage license, by increasing accessibility to internet culture, humor, and satire within the financial landscape.
Suchart Pavasiriporn, CEO of Bitkub Labs Co., Ltd., highlighted the educational value: “BONK is a brilliant example of how community-driven projects can shape real utility in Web3. This cooperation is a great opportunity to educate and inspire Thai users about the power of social tokens, and how they can participate in ecosystems that are engaging, innovative, and inclusive.”
Nom, Core Contributor of BONK, emphasized the strategic importance of the collaboration: “We’re incredibly thankful and excited to collaborate with Thailand’s largest exchange. This marks a major milestone in our mission to expand our presence in Southeast Asia, and specifically Thailand—a market full of innovation and growth. Together, we’re making it easier for more people to access and engage with our token and ecosystem.”
