What is chalk?
Chonks is an on-chain PFP collection that utilizes the ERC-6551 Token Bind Account (TBA) standard.
Each Chonk acts as a customizable digital asset and can hold individual characteristics such as accessories and outfits. These properties are separate ERC-721 tokens and can be traded individually or together with the main Chonk.
The collection also has 3D compatibility, allowing users to switch between 2D and 3D rendering of Chonk. Both pixel and voxel data are stored directly on-chain, ensuring persistence and flexibility for collectors.

How does chalk work?
Chonks includes a custom-built marketplace designed to handle asset modularity.
Traditional NFT marketplaces lack the ability to manage the buying and selling of both complete Chonks and their individual properties, so the team created a specialized platform to fill this gap. This marketplace supports seamless transactions while specifically catering to the needs of Chonks users.
Customization is at the heart of the Chonks experience. Chonks Studio, an online design platform, allows users to modify Chonks by adding or removing characteristics. Approved creators can also use Studio to contribute new properties to future seasonal releases.
