Cookie is a community-operated SVM blockchain built for speed, low cost, and cultural alignment with crypto natives. Forked from Gorbagana (itself a Solana fork), Cookie Chain maintains Solana compatibility while moving in its own direction. The chain features sub-second finality with approximately 1 second block times, minimal transaction fees paid in $COOK, and dirt-cheap program deployment compared to Solana mainnet. Operated by an expanding multi-validator set with no foundation gate or single operator, Cookie Chain is designed for degens, builders, validators, experimenters, and fast-moving on-chain communities.
