Badchain is a satirical Layer-2 blockchain network operating on the Solana platform. It presents itself as a cultural layer for Solana, aiming to create a Web3 environment where community, culture, and entertainment are as significant as the underlying technology. The project turns user acquisition into a gamified experience through features like meme quests, raffles, and community-driven incentives designed to reward user behavior and participation.
The platform was developed by the team from Bandit Network, a Web3 growth engine. The development team includes an engineer with 12 years of experience at IBM who also built India's largest NFT marketplace under WazirX (acquired by Binance), along with contributors to Superteam and winners of Bonkathon. In February 2025, Badchain secured USD 1.0 million in a seed funding round.
Badchain's model is designed to critique the proliferation of new blockchains, incorporating features like a raffle reward system and a distinct gas fee distribution model. Users can earn `tooBAD` tokens through participation and referrals. The platform aims to build a circular economy involving users, validators, and the community. It leverages Bandit's self-hosted quest platform to drive growth and user acquisition, with established partnerships with networks such as Brave, Bonk, and Astar demonstrating its reach.
