This is a Chimpers NFT History, culture, community, what the brand represents, its values, how it behaves, the trust it builds and what it achieves will determine its value

One of the big question marks around Chimpers has always been how we can scale the brand as a small team that didn’t raise multiple millions It’s a fair question and something that’s been on our minds for a while This year, two things helped provide answers Our team has always been pretty innovative and creative, building products, games and experiences, but we lacked the resources to build on multiple fronts at the same time With AI, we can now bring more of our ideas to life across web3 and web2, quicker and more cost effectively, while keeping the quality high What we’re now able to achieve across the business is really exciting. AI has been huge for us The other question was how we could get Chimpers into physical products and retail at scale Growing our web2 socials and building partnerships led to us signing with a licensing partner to take Chimpers into retail around the world Through that partnership, we have access to a global team of 250 people across design, manufacturing, logistics and distribution, with the experience and connections to grow a character brand It feels like we now have all the key pieces in place to scale Chimpers over the coming years

Now Adam has fully left the Token Works ecosystem and renounced most contracts including ethereum:0x3ca20831ebea5c99aa6e574d83f0a7c733f7e4d0 I wanted to give an update on what it means for the future of our token ecosystem Firstly $CHMPSTR was not affected by yesterday’s $APESTR exploit The exploit involved a vulnerability in older Strategy contracts, and $CHMPSTR launched later, using an improved patched version Now $CHMPSTR is renounced nobody can upgrade the contract, although certain admin controls are still controllable by us Earlier this year, we worked with TokenWorks to upgrade $CHMPSTR We reshuffled around 400 protocol owned chimps across a wider range of listing prices, introduced adjustable randomised relisting multipliers and removed token transfer restrictions We also retained admin controls that let us: - Adjust the minimum and maximum relisting multipliers and the spacing between listing prices - Update marketplace listing infrastructure as standards change - Turn transfer restrictions on or off. Transfer restrictions was disabled as part of the upgrade - Manage approved distributors if restrictions are ever re-enabled That flexibility was built in to reduce the need for future contract upgrades The core mechanics continue Protocol fees buy Chimpers, those Chimpers are relisted, and sales fund $CHMPSTR buybacks and burns We’re not reliant on TokenWorks or anyone else to build a future for $CHMPSTR It’s our job to bring awareness, utility and value to the token We’ve already been doing that by integrating it into products, games and experiences, and we’ll continue to do so We chose to adopt $CHMPSTR as our ecosystem token, and have been one of the very few teams to do anything with their strategy token In fact we’ve done more than most NFT IPs with a token inside our outside the TW ecosystem, and we’ve not even scratched the surface of realising its full potential As with everything we do we build from the ground up, that’s why the dojo is so strong A bet on $CHMPSTR is a bet on Chimpers

Chimpers are 4.5 years into a 10-year plan 2022 → 2026 | Survival Built our characters, world and community Gave people something to care about beyond speculation and survived some brutal NFT market cycles 2023 → 2026 | Expansion Took Chimpers beyond NFTs, grew our socials to almost 4M, securing some great collabs, partnerships and a 6-year global master licensing deal 2026 → Beyond | Growth Keep growing our audience but get them to really love Chimpers beyond content and socials The more they love Chimpers, the more products they'll buy and the more opportunities for licensing, collabs and partnerships Keep having fun making games, products and experiences for web3 and web2, bringing it all together into one Chimpers world A lot still to do, but I think the hardest part is done

I don’t think what Chimpers is building will be fully recognised or appreciated for another year or two yet Few are simultaneously building a real world brand, continually developing an NFT ecosystem, and attempting to connect the two It’s a patient and intentional process that we’ve been at for almost 6 years already If we can pull it off, I believe it could become one of the most powerful things to come out of Web3
