#### Bonk Arena Launches
Solana’s meme coin, Bonk, has made waves with the launch of its first official video game, Bonk Arena. Developed by Bravo Ready, this fast-paced, top-down arcade shooter is playable through web browsers and the Phantom wallet mobile app. Players can participate in a “pay-to-spawn, win-to-earn” model, where they pay 10,000 BONK tokens to spawn and earn stakes from defeated players. Revenue generated from the game will support token burns, rewards, charity donations, and READY token buybacks. Bonk has become a symbol of Solana’s resurgence and continues to expand its ecosystem through various projects.
