What's hot in the Bonk-verse: Feb 2024 edition
Bonk is for Builders
As you might already know I am a HUGE fan of all things Bonk. They're a high output, high energy community of builders who are continually trialling new Solana tech and dapp designs to the benefit of the whole Solana ecosystem.
It's more than a memecoin and it's definitely more than simply HODL-ing some $BONK.
If the Bonk community were simply like $PEPE holders (e.g., lotto ticket buyers) then nothing would have ever got built.

118 integration and counting! Bonk are for builders.
TIP: The Bonk Art is great https://bonkcoin.com/bonkart (you'll see pieces of mine throughout this post).
Last Bonk promo (Bonkmas) having purchased pieces on ExchangeArt (who are also teasing a token airdrop...) was a prerequisite and seeing as the NFT art pieces were limited the secondary market went nuts for a bit there. 
Where to Bonk-it-best: Feb 2024 edition
One thing that really rocks about the Bonk-verse is how there is always something going on. It's one of the keys of building and maintaining a thriving community. I]t doesn't have to much, just make sure something is always happening in order to keep your community engaged.
Bonk does this really well and is kinda the gold standard for memecoin based projects at this stage.
Without further ado, let's get into what's currently happening in the Bonk-verse you need to know!

After Bonkmas: BonkRewards & Building Your BONKDragon
A Bonkmas for all of us
Bonkmas was epic. For those unfamiliar the event was a 12 days of Christmas in the styple of Bonk. https://medium.com/@bonk_inu/the-12-days-of-bonkmas-one-year-anniversary-celebration-97f1a3a9dfa9
It was a huge hit across the ecosystem https://medium.com/@bonk_inu/bonkmas-recap-2c7ad48f4125
And it capped off a massive year for Bonk in general.
Key to note most of the above was done whilst the price of $BONK was still pretty low compared to what it is now. The Bonk team doesn't really pay a lot of attention to the price of $BONK and it's been working out pretty well for them. Something to keep in mind when playing in the ecosystem.
BonkRewards
At the end of Bonkmas it was heavily teased by the Bonk team that there would be something in the new year for the community and now it's here in the form of BonkRewards. It's pretty simple, you lock your tokens for rewards. The longer you lock the more you get. 
It's powered by a HXRO Network aligned project Armada https://www.blog.armadafi.so/armada-public-goods-to-power-the-next-generation-of-solana-tokens/
But there's a twist.
A Bonkmas twist!
Go to https://www.bonkmas.com/ and ask where BonkSanta is
Enter your wallet address you used for your Bonkmas claim and you'll get prompted to stake your Bonkmas rewards at BonkRewards to
BONKDragon
You'll not only be able to earn $BONK rewards by locking your $BONK but if you head over to https://www.bonkdragon.com/ you'll be able to build your own BONKDragon in time for Lunar New Year!

To keep up with the latest happening in the Bonk-verse make sure to follow them on all their socials. Find all the links at https://bonkcoin.com/
One thing to say about the Bonk team is they won't die wondering. Expect them to adopt pretty much any new bit of Solana tech and push it to its' limits and, at the same time, come up with new designs and ideas that all the crypto ecosystem will benefit from.
