Bonk (BONK) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule

As of October 16, 2026, 87994.36 billion of the 100000 billion BONK (87.99%) have been released. No further releases are scheduled; the schedule was fully unlocked in July 2026.

The chart shows gross modeled releases of every allocation: vesting unlocks, new issuance and reserve distributions, each allocation counted once. These have different meanings; a scheduled release is not evidence that tokens entered circulation or were sold. Review the coverage, sources and assumptions below.

Each color segment in the chart corresponds to a specific allocation group described in the Allocations section below. Underlying assumptions and data models used to reconstruct this schedule are explained in detail under Assumptions, while broader utility insights and token use cases are covered in Tokenomics & Utility.

Tokenomics & Utility

Distribution and planned uses

The launch paper describes an initial total of 100 trillion BONK and a plan to airdrop about half to the Solana community. It identifies NFT participants, DeFi users, artists, collectors, and developers among the intended recipients. Other planned allocations included 21% for early contributors, 16% for BonkDAO, and smaller portions for initial exchange access and marketing. These figures describe the project’s launch design, rather than a live account of how many tokens remain in use. (bonkcoin.com)

The large initial supply means BONK amounts are often written as big numbers. That is a feature of the token’s unit size, not a measure of how useful a transaction is. A payment or reward works according to the amount both parties agree to send and receive.

The launch paper described BONK’s main purpose as serving as a community coin across Solana apps. It proposed uses such as rewards for participation and a unit for transactions within an app. BonkDAO’s allocation was intended to support initiatives proposed for the wider community. Together, these choices linked distribution to the goal of encouraging people to use and build with the token. (bonkcoin.com)

Some BONK-related activities involve locking tokens or burning them. Locking places tokens into an app for a stated period under that app’s rules. Burning permanently removes tokens from supply when a burn action occurs. These activities depend on particular programs or community decisions; they are separate from the basic act of sending BONK to another wallet. (solana.com)

Assumptions

BONK's paper describes an original 100-trillion-token supply, a 50-trillion community launch airdrop, three-year contributor vesting, and budgets for the DAO, liquidity and marketing. The chart dates the launch airdrop and estimates contributor vesting and several published Orca liquidity-reward periods; it also identifies a reported July 2026 DAO treasury transfer. The paper's airdrop category percentages do not reconcile with its airdrop total, and Streamflow's vested amount differs from the paper's contributor budget, so those differences are not filled with invented releases. Other treasury spending, proposed grants, campaign claims and revenue-funded rewards lack verified token amounts or payment dates and remain outside the quantified chart.

Early contributors: Timing not yet established.
BONK DAO treasury: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
Initial liquidity distribution: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
BONK-funded Orca liquidity rewards: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
Marketing promotions and incentives: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
2023 BONKmas claim campaign: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
Gator/Chomp proposed BONK rewards grant: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
Friends With Bonk proposed competition funding: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
BONK Rewards funded from ecosystem revenue: New issuance depends on network activity, such as staking, so it cannot be dated in advance.
BONK Rewards funded from ecosystem revenue: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
