Open Letter to @SolportTom and the BonkFun Team From a Believer in Community-First Crypto Dear @SolportTom , First, thank you for taking the time to read this. I know you’re constantly flooded with messages and ideas, but I hope this one will stand out — not just as feedback, but as a sincere call to help shape what BonkFun can truly become. ⸻ BonkFun Has Taken the Lead — But What’s Next? Based on on-chain and community data, it’s clear that BonkFun is now the leader in this space, much like PumpFun was before. But success isn’t just about this moment — it’s about sustaining that leadership. Your edge has always been how you treat the community. That difference built trust. That difference got you here. But if we rely on just that — without nurturing standout communities — that edge might fade. PumpFun has started to mimic your strategies, including community token buybacks. With more capital, they may eventually weaponize those resources to undercut you. Now is the time to double down on your true strength: community-first innovation. ⸻ PVP Is Still Dominant — But PVE also important You’ve been vocal about promoting PVE — shifting away from the short-termism of PVP. I respect that vision deeply. But I also know how difficult it is in this environment. Recent data shows that the average holding time now is just 60 seconds. That speaks volumes. Most users are here for a quick flip. I understand that — more PVP means more launches, which helps revenue. But here’s what I believe: A successful PVE projects won’t kill PVP — it will bring in people who would never have participated otherwise. ⸻ Why Equal Support Isn’t Always the Best Strategy I know you want to be fair — to give everyone a chance. But equal distribution of resources often leads to no one getting enough. And when that happens, no leader emerges. No standard is set. No inspiration follows. Take Ani as an example: • Even with your support, it remained a PVP-driven play. • Most holders were waiting on Elon Musk’s tweets and actions. • Data shows: after your buying 1% of tokens, Ani gained ~10% more holders — but the price performance actually worsened. Now compare that to 旺柴: • Reached ATH $18M and most people held, not dumped. • Due to some FUD dropped to $10M, $8M, $6M, $4M — and still, holders kept accumulating. • New members joined daily including X and Telegram. • On X, the community continues to grow with high-quality content, memes, articles, and artwork. The BonkFun buyback wallet shows: • Ani and 旺柴 are the only ones with relatively low unrealized losses (~15%). • But Ani had Elon, the spotlight, and PVP hype. • 旺柴 had none of that — just the strength of its community. That should mean something. Now imagine — if the same level of funding and support you gave to Ani had been directed toward 旺柴 instead… just how far could it have gone? ⸻ You Can’t Inspire the Market Without First Believing In a Few This isn’t a call to support 旺柴 instead of others — it’s a call to support the right ones first. Pick a few communities you believe in. Go deep. Once they succeed, the network effect will uplift the entire ecosystem. ⸻ You’ve already interacted with 旺柴 on X, and we appreciate that. But the Western market doesn’t understand what it sees when it sees Chinese characters — they scroll past, or click “translate” at best. They need your signal to take it seriously. They don’t believe in buybacks. They believe in your conviction. In your wallet. Just look at what happened the day you announced support for Ani. That’s the kind of influence you hold — and why it matters where you choose to place your trust. Now imagine if that support had gone to a real community. You can use that influence to show the world what PVE really looks like. So why 旺柴? • Chinese tickers are a powerful narrative. But they need a single proven success before others follow. • 旺柴 has already inspired others to copy — many rugged — but that only proved its brand strength. • The 旺柴 meme is deeply rooted in Chinese culture, across generations. It’s funny, expressive, remixable, and emotionally sticky. • We’ve seen massive interest from Chinese users who feel excluded in Western-dominated communities. • Many want to join, but language holds them back. In 旺柴, we’ve seen English speakers use translators to bridge the gap. This is rare. • The Chinese crypto community is sticky — just look at brc20 projects. If they trust you, they stay loyal — like a cult. • Even outside of China, many global users are still sidelined, doubting whether Chinese tickers can succeed. But it’s precisely because so many don’t believe that the upside is so big — just like $USELESS once was. And let’s not forget: • Major exchanges like @binancezh , @okxchinese , and @Bitget_zh had to create entirely new accounts just to provide Chinese-language content — can you imagine how big that market must be? • There’s a huge opportunity to connect that capital and energy with the Bonk ecosystem — through the right narrative. ⸻ 旺柴 Defies the Trend Across BonkFun, most tokens have retraced hard. Communities disappear. Tokens get dumped. 旺柴? • Minimal pullback by comparison. • Holder count growing. • X community growing. • Engagement, memes, creativity — all growing. All of this, without being in the spotlight. ⸻ Final Words: Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late I genuinely believe Bonk has the potential to become the birthplace of real communities. But this space moves fast. And it’s brutal. PumpFun won’t wait. Copycats won’t stop. And true communities don’t emerge every day. The time to act is now. Reward the real communities 旺柴 has earned the trust. It has survived. Now give it the spotlight — and watch what happens. Let’s build something unforgettable. Make Bonk Ecosystem great again. With respect, A believer in PVE, WAGMI, and community-first crypto.
