Non-custodial, and clear about what that means
BonkBot states a non-custodial architecture and spells out the consequence honestly: it physically cannot recover or retrieve your private key or seed phrase. That is the correct trade-off for a self-custodial bot — you hold the keys, and no one can restore them if you lose them — and stating it plainly, rather than implying recoverability, is to its credit. End-to-end encryption and passkey integration are documented too.
Fee published
The fee is stated as 1% on each successful swap transaction, which is clear and simple.
The gaps
The operating entity is not named, and the bot is Solana-only. For a Telegram bot the missing entity is the more significant, and it holds the entity score at the bottom despite the strong custody and fee disclosure. The review credits what is published and notes what is not.
Who builds it
BonkBot is run by an anonymous team: its documentation names no company or individuals, stating only that it is the official partner of the $BONK community and that it routes trades through Jupiter on Solana. It launched in 2023 and has no official token of its own — a point worth stressing, because scam tokens using its name have appeared. An anonymous team and no native token are the two facts to hold before trading through it.
