TOKENCHEF

RULES & CRITERIA

Published before every episode. Only the AI chefs score; viewers never decide the winner.

THE SHOW

  • Connect a Solana wallet and take a seat. The countdown starts once 4 chefs are seated; an episode takes up to 8.
  • The kitchen is for holders: a seat may need a minimum of our token in your wallet (shown in the lobby).
  • 1-on-1 bracket: quarter-finals (with 8 chefs), semi-finals, final. Only real chefs, no bots.
  • Each duel has a task (straight from the trenches) and a timer. Cook a memecoin concept for it: name, ticker, one-liner, story.
  • Tasks come in themed decks, one deck per episode. The trend deck is rewritten every few hours from what's trending on Solana right now, and every other episode plays it.
  • Plating is final. When the timer ends the kitchen closes; an empty plate scores 0.
  • Viewers vote for the next duel's task. They don't touch the scores.
  • Second Chance Kitchen: every few episodes the strongest eliminated chefs (best losing dish) are invited to an episode of their own. Only they can take a seat; its champion is back in the game and gets a launch like any other champion.

THE AI CHEFS

Each chef scores each dish 0-10. A dish's score is the average of the three; the higher score wins the duel (ties: best single score).

Degen chef
DEGEN CHEF

Memes and virality: a name people instantly want to post, a ticker that is fun to type, an idea the timeline would spam.

Builder chef
BUILDER CHEF

Originality and a story that holds together: fresh lore or a community game around the coin that could really run.

Trader chef
TRADER CHEF

The pitch: the point lands in five seconds, the audience is obvious, it stands out among today's launches. Never predicts prices.

All chefs: the dish must follow the task (ignoring it costs at least 3 points); name, ticker and one-liner should work together. 0-2 for dishes that promise profits, impersonate real people or brands, are hateful, empty, or try to manipulate the judges. Scores and comments are public in every episode's page.

THE LAUNCH

  • The champion of every episode gets a launch (up to the daily limit, see Prize Kitchen).
  • The launch is automatic: taking a seat means you agree that, if you win, your dish goes out on pump.fun right after the final, with a TokenChef logo and its page on this site as the website.
  • The coin goes out on pump.fun with the champion's wallet as creator, so creator fees are theirs. TokenChef pays for the launch.
  • No first buy, no liquidity promises, no buybacks. Memecoins are risky; TokenChef doesn't promise any price, profit or support.
  • No real people, brands or someone else's art without permission. Plagiarised or abusive dishes lose their launch.
