Chomp

Chomp was a social consensus quiz platform built on Solana by Gator Labs, the studio's first product. It combined trivia gameplay with a crowd-prediction mechanism designed to surface accurate information even when most individual players lack direct knowledge of the correct answer. The project launched in beta in June 2024 and accumulated meaningful early traction before going quiet. As of mid-2026, its primary domain chomp.games no longer resolves, its documentation server is unreachable, and the platform appears to have been discontinued. Chomp operated on a free-to-play, pay-to-reveal, reveal-to-earn model. Playing cost nothing, but revealing results and collecting rewards required burning BONK tokens. Each round was structured around decks, pairs of linked questions delivered as timed cards. Players had 60 seconds to respond to each card, and active decks remained open for between 24 hours and several days before locking for reveals. The two-question structure was central to Chomp's design. The first question, called the 1st Order Question, asked a player for their own opinion or factual answer to a statement. The second, the 2nd Order Question, was a slider asking the player to estimate what percentage of other players gave the correct response to the first question. This dual-input format drew directly from academic research on the wisdom of the crowd problem, where aggregating individual estimates can converge on accurate answers even when most participants are uncertain. Chomp's reward economy ran on BONK, Solana's community meme token. The integration was formalized through a BONK DAO governance proposal, which allocated 10 billion BONK to Chomp over six months, structured as milestone-based tranches starting with an initial 200 million BONK grant. The Gator team retained none of these tokens — the entire allocation was distributed to players as game rewards. To reveal a deck's results, players burned 5,000 BONK. Both questions answered correctly earned 10,000 BONK, a net gain of 5,000 after the reveal cost. One correct answer earned 5,000 BONK, breaking even. Two wrong answers earned nothing. Chomp also maintained an in-game points system layered on top of BONK rewards, where submitting decks, revealing answers, and maintaining accuracy streaks each yielded fixed point amounts. Entry required credits purchased with SOL at approximately 0.0005 SOL per credit. Chomp launched in June 2024 and quickly earned competitive recognition within the Solana ecosystem. The project won the Grand Prize in the Consumer track at Bonkathon and placed third in the Consumer Apps track at the Colosseum Renaissance Global Hackathon. It also received grants from MonkeDAO through the Build with Monke program, alongside the BONK DAO allocation. By roughly August 2024, approximately two months into the beta, the platform had accumulated meaningful activity. Players had answered 89,346 questions and the platform was reporting 24.5 percent month-over-month growth. The community had burned 93,690,000 BONK in reveal costs while earning 76,178,292 BONK in rewards, a net deflationary outcome for the BONK supply. The platform also pursued co-branded trivia activations with Marinade, Orca, and MonkeDAO, positioning Chomp as a community engagement layer that other Solana protocols could use for audience-specific question decks. Gator Labs described itself as building crypto-native mechanisms to help users distill signal from noise. The team indicated plans to eventually transition from BONK to a native platform token referred to as the Gator token, which would take over as the primary reward currency. No public timeline or token details were formalized before the project went quiet. The company also posted a Founding Engineer role seeking candidates with Solana development experience, indicating a phase of active hiring at some point after launch. As of mid-2026, chomp.games is no longer registered and returns NXDOMAIN. The documentation site docs.chomp.games is also unreachable. Both the chompdotgames and gator_fyi social accounts show no recent activity. PlayToEarn, which tracked the game during its active period, lists its status as cancelled. An alternate domain chomp.fyi appears to exist but serves no publicly accessible content. No formal shutdown announcement has been located. The project appears to have wound down sometime after March 2025, the date of the last identifiable public activity.
