Chonks landed on Base for the first time, with over 80,000 minted within 24 hours

Chonks is a fully on-chain customizable PFP series that was recently launched on the Base blockchain on December 4, 2024.

Within the 24-hour minting window, over 80,000 Chonks were created at a price of 0.01 ETH each, demonstrating widespread interest in this innovative approach to digital collectibles. By combining advanced on-chain technology with creative customization tools, Chonks has positioned itself as a unique entrant in the blockchain space.

Going forward, the Chonks team plans to introduce more features and functionality, expanding the ecosystem through seasonal updates, allowing users and creators to continually grow their collections.

What are Jonkers?

Chonks is an on-chain PFP collection that utilizes the ERC-6551 Token-Bound Account (TBA) standard.

Each Chonk acts as a customizable digital asset, capable of retaining personal characteristics such as accessories or clothing. These features are separate ERC-721 tokens, allowing them to be traded individually or alongside the main Chonk.

The set also features 3D compatibility, allowing users to switch between 2D and 3D renderings of their Chonks. Pixel and voxel data are stored directly on-chain, ensuring persistence and flexibility for collectors.

How do Chonks work?

Chonks includes a customization marketplace designed to handle the modular nature of its assets.

Traditional NFT marketplaces don’t have the ability to manage the purchase and sale of complete Chonks and their individual characteristics, so the team created a specialized platform to fill this gap. The marketplace supports seamless transactions while catering specifically to the needs of Chonks users.

Customization is at the core of the Chonks experience. Chonks Studio is an online design platform that allows users to modify their Chonks by adding or removing features. Approved creators can also use the Studio to contribute new features for future seasonal releases.
