Chogathon 2026
You have 2 weeks to build a new experience powered by Chog NFTs and compete for $15K in prizes!
Inspire the next NFT meta with Chog NFTs!
Build an experience that introduces a new way to use or interact with NFTs. Get creative, experiment, and have fun. What can you build? Anything! Think games, trading, AI, social experiences, tools, or something completely different.
The goal is simple: create something people haven't seen before, with the Chog NFT at the core of the experience.
The NFT must matter.
If you removed the NFT, would the experience still work the same way? If the answer is yes, think about how you can make the NFT more meaningful.
BE CREATIVE
Don't restrict yourself to what's already been done. Think outside the box and build the things others don't dare to.
WHAT YOU'LL SUBMIT
Your project
Project name, team members, Discord and X handles.
What you built
Tell us what the experience does and what makes it new.
Why Chog matters
Show us why the Chog NFT is essential to the experience.
Show it working
Share a working demo, a demo video of up to 3 minutes, and simple testing instructions.
Under the hood
Share your repository, tech stack, and any pre-existing work you used.
What’s next?
Share any user feedback or usage you've gathered and tell us where you'd take the project next.
HOW WE'LL JUDGE
Build with the judging criteria in mind. Here's what we're looking for.
| Criterion | Weight | Questions for judges |
|---|---|---|
| Novelty | 30% | Does it introduce a new way to use or interact with NFTs? |
| Fun | 20% | Is it enjoyable, engaging, or exciting to use? |
| Retention | 20% | Will people come back and use it again? |
| Clarity | 15% | Is it easy to understand and use? |
| Execution | 15% | Does it work well, and is the idea well executed? |
| $CHOG | Bonus | Using the $CHOG token is optional, but meaningful integration can earn you bonus points. |
The Chog NFT must be essential.
