Move over, Bonk. There’s a new (but actually old) dog in town, and it’s here to steal the spotlight. Meet Tonic, the Solana memecoin that was quietly deployed on Pump.fun back in April 2024 but lay dormant until November 16, 2024, when it finally hit Raydium.

Why? Because it turns out the coin everyone thought was inspired by Cheems — Bonk — might actually owe its roots to a Shiba Inu named…Tonic.
