About Gator Labs (Creator of Chomp)

• Gator Labs has created an information protocol that leverages social consensus to surface higher signal information that helps people make better decisions, and establish a more accurate common perception of reality.
• We launched our first product, Chomp, in June 2024. Chomp is a quiz/trivia game that leverages Wisdom of the Crowd mechanisms to get you the best answers to your questions. Chomp is a Colosseum Renaissance Global Hackahton winner, the Bonkathon Grand Prize winner, recipient of the Build with Monke grant, and the Bonk DAO grant.
• Our vision extends beyond Chomp, as we aim to create more consumer products that offer gamified social experiences, capturing information to feed into a composable data infrastructure mapped to a reputation graph.
• Gator is led by a founding team of seasoned builders who have successfully built and scaled businesses in both web2 and web3. We are nerds, glass chewers, and dreamers, driven by the belief that crypto has the power to change the world for the better—and that Gator can be a part of that tapestry. We’re not fucking around.
