CHONKS is a fully onchain customizable PFP and NFT project on Base that lets owners equip and swap collectible traits on their characters. CHONKS's Twitter Score is 42 out of 1000 as of October 2026, ranking #22,266 (top 5%) among 498,348 tracked accounts.
CHONKS was co-founded by Backseats and marka. The project uses the ERC-6551 Token Bound Accounts standard, meaning each Chonk holds its traits through its own token-bound account. Each trait is a separate ERC-721 token that can be traded independently or together with the body NFT, a structure that required the team to build a custom marketplace since leading platforms did not support this functionality.
CHONKS stores pixel and voxel data onchain for every Chonk and trait, giving each collectible both 2D and 3D representations available for permissionless use. The project releases its artwork under CC0. The official site credits Dean Harvey with designing the original Chonk and many Season 1 traits, with additional Season 1 traits contributed by Naime and Nahid. Beyond collecting, the project offers tools including a 3D Ztudio, Playground, Loot Boxes, and Chonks Chess. Chonks Studio allows anyone to create a Chonk, and approved creators can deploy and sell traits as part of the official collection in future seasons. Recent activity has included an animated-traits renderer upgrade and a trait airdrop tied to a CryptoSkunks collaboration.
