Solport Tom is the pseudonymous founder of [[letsbonk fun]], the [[bonk]] ecosystem launchpad that in mid 2025 became the first platform to dethrone [[pump fun]] as the top token factory on [[Solana]]. He is known publicly only as Tom, posting from the handle @SolportTom, and no fuller identity has been published by any reporting; coverage of the platform routinely refers to him simply as founder Tom.

## LetsBonk

Tom first announced letsbonk.fun in July 2024, describing months of work on a token launchpad for the Bonk community, initially powered by Graphite Protocol. The platform's breakout came with its relaunch in late April 2025, rebuilt as a joint effort between the BONK community and [[raydium]] on Raydium's LaunchLab infrastructure. The launch was immediate chaos in the best trench tradition: PANews reported 24 hour trading volume above $300 million, and within three days more than 2,700 tokens had been created and roughly $800,000 in fees generated.

The platform's core pitch was ecosystem alignment rather than extraction. Half of LetsBonk's fee revenue was used to buy and burn BONK, and in July 2025 the platform pledged a further 1 percent of revenue to buy back its top community tokens, moves that made every launch feel like it fed the broader Bonk economy. In July 2025 LetsBonk overtook pump.fun in daily token launches and volume, at points capturing over 55 percent of Solana token issuance, an event covered at [[letsbonk flippening]] and reported by The Block and The Defiant as the end of pump.fun's uncontested reign. The platform later operated under the bonk.fun brand and continued iterating aggressively, cutting creator fees to zero in mid 2026 as the launchpad wars reignited.

## Style

Tom's public persona is that of a shipping focused community developer rather than a promoter: announcements, feature releases and thank yous to the Bonk community, with little of the feud driven posting that defines rival platform founders. That posture, and the deliberate framing of LetsBonk as a community project co owned with Bonk and Raydium rather than a founder's company, is part of why the platform's rise was received in [[the trenches]] as a community victory rather than a hostile takeover.
