BONKbot Referral Code (2026): Reflinks, Telemetry Cashback and Real Fees

A BONKbot referral code doesn't lower your fee: BONKbot's docs give the person signing up no discount, and the fee is "1% fees on each successful swap transaction" (BONKbot fee docs). What a reflink does is pay the person who shared it. The way a new user can cut costs is Telemetry's volume cashback (5% to 25% of fees), which every user gets, referred or not.

Risk notice: Crypto trading is high risk and memecoins can go to zero in minutes. Trading bots and wallet connections use hot wallets. This page is not financial advice; only trade what you can afford to lose.

Facts on this page were checked October 23, 2026, from BONKbot's own docs and the sources linked below. This is a research-based review built from published docs, not a hands-on trial.

BONKbot (6.8/10) is one of the original Solana Telegram bots, now paired with the Telemetry web terminal. Full details in our BONKbot review.

What a BONKbot referral link does

BONKbot calls them reflinks. Its website advertises "lifetime fee kickbacks from signups via your QR code or reflink". There's no code to type: opening a reflink starts BONKbot (or Telemetry) with the referrer attached.

For you, the person signing up:

• No fee discount, bonus or free trades in the docs
• Same 1% fee on each successful swap
• Same Telemetry cashback any user can earn

For the referrer:

• A share of the fees you pay, as set out below

BONKbot's rewards page describes only the inviter's side ("Invite others to Telemetry and earn a share of their trading fees"). It says nothing about the invitee getting anything. If a site promises "10% off BONKbot fees" with a special code, it's not describing BONKbot's documented program.

How BONKbot's referral tiers work for the referrer

BONKbot runs two referral schemes, per its referral docs:

The docs don't break down how Telemetry's 30% is split across the three levels, and the Telemetry homepage's level table showed "+0%" placeholders when checked (Telemetry). The rewards page also says "everyone is up for grabs, even existing BONKbot users who trade under another reflink on BONKbot Telegram", meaning a Telegram user already tied to one referrer can be referred to Telemetry by someone else.

Referral payouts are a real cost to BONKbot: DefiLlama defines its revenue as fees kept after referral rewards, and shows about $96,000 in fees but $56,000 in revenue over the last 30 days (DefiLlama, checked October 23, 2026).

Telemetry cashback: the part that actually saves you money

BONKbot's fee docs say Telemetry users "receive a percentage of your fees back as Rewards depending on your trading volume". The cashback page lists the rates:

How tiers are set: trailing volume, counting your own volume across BONKbot products with a 5x multiplier plus your direct referrals' volume on Telemetry. The docs don't publish the volume needed for each tier. Cashback is paid in SOL, "automatic, instant" on every trade, with "no extra actions or lockups required".

Fine print:

• The cashback page's worked example ("Trade 25k SOL at Platinum III: Earn 25% Cashback → 6,250 SOL returned") reads as 25% of volume, which can't be right on a 1% fee. The fee docs say it's a share of fees, and we calculate on that basis.
• Telemetry's homepage says both "up to 25% cashback" and "up to 1% Cashback on Telemetry trading fees". The docs table is the more specific source.
• The rewards page doesn't say whether trades in the Telegram bot earn cashback, only that volume "across all BONKbot products" counts toward your tier.

Fee math before and after

With a referral link and without one, the fee is identical. The difference comes from cashback tier (our calculation):

• $100 swap, no cashback: $1.00 fee
• $100 swap at Iron (5%): $0.95 net
• $100 swap at Platinum III (25%): $0.75 net
• $10,000 monthly volume: $100 in fees, $5 back at Iron, $25 back at Platinum III

Add Solana network and priority fees and venue fees. On Pump.fun bonding-curve tokens, that's another 1.25% per trade (Pump.fun fees). CoinGecko reported in 2025 that 10% of BONKbot's fees buy and burn BONK; we couldn't confirm that in the current docs. More in our BONKbot fees guide.

How to sign up through our link

1. Open /go/bonkbot. It opens Telemetry, BONKbot's web terminal, with our reflink attached.
2. Check the address is telemetry.io, or for the Telegram bot, use only the handle linked from bonkbot.io. Fake BONKbot clones with similar names exist.
3. Set up your wallet and turn on 2FA. BONKbot's security docs cover setup; back up your exported key offline.
4. Turn on MEV protection and set priority and slippage before trading. See Solana MEV protection explained.
5. Make a small test trade, then check that cashback shows in the rewards panel before trading size.

How BONKbot's referral perk compares

BONKbot's cashback starts lower than Trojan's flat 20% and rises with volume, so a new low-volume user pays more on BONKbot. Compare in Trojan vs BONKbot and BONKbot vs GMGN, or see BONKbot alternatives.

Is BONKbot worth joining in 2026?

BONKbot is still live and simple: limit orders with partial fills, trailing stop loss, DCA, Nighthawk sniping and MEV protection, per its docs. Its usage has shrunk sharply since January 2025 on DefiLlama. In March 2024, BONKbot denied a link to a $523,000 wallet drain, saying affected users had exported their keys (Decrypt).

How we checked this

We read BONKbot's fee, rewards, referral and cashback docs, its website, the Telemetry homepage and DefiLlama on October 23, 2026. We did not trade on BONKbot. Tier volume thresholds and the Telemetry level split aren't published, so we don't state them. Method: about page.
