- Solana memecoin Bonk launched its first official game, Bonk Arena, with Bravo Ready, featuring a win-to-earn model tied to BONK and READY tokens.
- Players pay 10,000 BONK to enter matches and earn BONK for kills; 50% of game revenue goes to READY token buybacks.
- The game supports browser and wallet play, with plans for console release. It aims to boost BONK utility through on-chain gameplay, token burns, and charity contributions.
Bonk (BONK), one of Solana’s biggest memecoin by market cap, has launched its first officially licensed video game, Bonk Arena, in collaboration with Bravo Ready, the studio behind BR1: Infinite.
The game was released on Monday, introducing a pay-to-play mixed with a win-to-earn model that ties directly into the BONK token ecosystem. That model is licensed to Bravo Ready through an agreement requiring 50% of generated revenue to be used for READY token buybacks. The same terms apply to BR1: Infinite, Bravo’s other Solana-based shooter.
To support the launch, Bonk has injected USD 10,000 worth of BONK into the game’s reward system. Bonus tokens will be distributed randomly to players during the launch window, and some will be funneled into a prize pool for users who create social media content around the game.

How it Works
Bonk Arena is a top-down arcade shooter playable directly on browsers like Brave or Chrome, and also crypto wallets like Phantom.
A version is also planned for the upcoming PSG1 handheld gaming console. Users must pay 10,000 BONK (around AU$0.26) to spawn into the game. Moreover, players earn BONK by eliminating others and claiming their entry fees, with a 0%–10% cut taken as a variable fee.
The studio behind the new Solana-based arcade shooter told Decrypt it will continue expanding the game with unlockable characters, level-based rewards, and loot crates, all aimed at deepening utility for the BONK meme coin.
This is about giving additional utility to a meme token through highly engaging, competitive gameplay. All player spawns and kills are recorded on-chain, so this game will generate substantial on-chain Bonk volume.
Evan Ryer, CEO and co-founder of Bravo ReadyHalf of the game’s revenue will go toward burning BONK, player rewards, and contributions to the Bonk for Paws charity. The other half will fund buybacks of the READY token, a separate asset launched by the firm Ready, which originally developed the “Real Money Gaming” model used in Bonk Arena.
