Bonkcoin is a community focused cryptocurrency created by one of the original Dogecoin shibes from 2013. It was created for one purpose, to create a new and fun community just like the original Dogecoin community.
Unlike all iterations before it, Bonkcoin is a layer 1 coin. This means there are no liquidity pools to drain, no blacklisting wallets, and no confusing smart contracts. Bonkcoin is a simple blockchain.
The Bonkcoin Core software allows anyone to operate a node in the Bonkcoin blockchain networks and uses the Scrypt hashing method for Proof of Work. It is adapted from Dogecoin Core, Bitcoin Core, and other cryptocurrencies.
For information about the default fees used on the Bonkcoin network, please refer to the fee recommendation.

Bonkcoin Core by default uses port 14327 for peer-to-peer communication that
is needed to synchronize the "mainnet" blockchain and stay informed of new
transactions and blocks. Additionally, a JSONRPC port can be opened, which
defaults to port 15612 for mainnet nodes. It is strongly recommended to not
expose RPC ports to the public internet.
| Function | mainnet | testnet | regtest |
|---|---|---|---|
| P2P | 14327 | 44874 | 18444 |
| RPC | 15612 | 44873 | 18332 |
