The Gonka documentation now answers a question that had drifted out of date: how to actually get GNK. PR #1235, merged 2026-06-16 by @tcharchian, rewrites the "Can I buy GNK coin?" FAQ entry in both the English and Chinese docs to reflect that WGNK -- the wrapped, bridgeable form of the token -- now has on-chain liquidity.

What changed

The edit touched two files (the EN and ZH copies of the FAQ) with 14 lines added and 10 removed. The substance is in three corrections:

  • The old answer implied GNK could not be bought at all. The new copy keeps the accurate part -- native GNK is still not listed on any centralized exchange -- but reframes it as "not on a CEX" rather than "unavailable".
  • It documents a second, legitimate route to obtain the token: buy WGNK on a decentralized exchange (Uniswap) and bridge it back to native GNK. WGNK is the Ethereum bridge contract itself, at address 0x972a7a92d92796a98801a8818bcf91f1648f2f68, consistent with the existing Ethereum bridge overview in the docs.
  • It fixes a now-incorrect warning that flagged the CoinMarketCap listing as fake. The CoinMarketCap page tracks the real WGNK contract. The reworked note instead tells readers to verify the exact contract address and treats copies on Solana or other contracts as the actual fakes.

Why it matters

WGNK is the wrapped version of GNK that lives on Ethereum, created when native GNK is moved across the bridge. Because it trades on Uniswap, anyone can now buy it with standard Ethereum tooling and bridge it back into the Gonka network -- a path the FAQ previously did not mention. For a reader who holds the token or wants to acquire it, that closes a real gap between what the network supports and what the documentation said was possible.

The contract-verification change is the safety half of the update. Token scams routinely deploy lookalike contracts on other chains and ride a project's name. By naming the canonical WGNK address and pointing to the verified CoinMarketCap entry, the FAQ gives a non-technical reader a concrete check -- match the address -- instead of a blanket "everything is fake" warning that was itself wrong about CoinMarketCap.

Tradeoffs and follow-ups

The PR's own test plan flags an open policy question: whether the official FAQ should describe DEX trading at all. The wording shipped, but that review item is worth tracking. The change also depends on the EN and ZH copies staying in sync and on the relative links to the bridge overview and withdraw-gnk pages resolving in the built docs.
