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
If you build everything from the ground up, over time it becomes your greatest advantage 🏯
What does every NFT project end up doing?
Launch a coin, airdrop it to holders, and watch it go straight to zero with no utility. So many projects have done this, and we sit here asking the question again and again, what was the point?
@ChimpersHQ did it and are doing it differently. First, no airdrop. It's a strategy token... meaning the token is DIRECTLY tied to the NFTs.
They are one of the only projects to adopt their strategy token as an ecosystem token. You can customize your Chimpanion with ethereum:0x3ca20831ebea5c99aa6e574d83f0a7c733f7e4d0 and you could buy custom art/gifs of your Chimp with CHIMPSTR all while BURNING the token.
The token being directly tied to the NFTs makes it seem less like it's a separate token and more like the token IS the NFT in a sense.
AND the team invests heavily with royalties and revenue going into the token and NFTs... some of which are given away to holders.
Web3 alignment, Web2 foundation being built, Web3 and Web2 partnerships. A BIG brand is being built right in front of our eyes, I hope you're not sidelining yourself.

Back to Chimp. Seems like @ChimpersHQ and @argonauts9999 are on a rotation. I’m cool with that.

Over the past year, the Chimpers team has acquired over 72 million ethereum:0x3ca20831ebea5c99aa6e574d83f0a7c733f7e4d0 (over $100K in value) to support our ecosystem.
Today our treasury holds over 50 million ethereum:0x3ca20831ebea5c99aa6e574d83f0a7c733f7e4d0, with more than 20 million already deployed through collector rewards, incentives, and ecosystem initiatives.
As the officially adopted ecosystem token for Chimpers, we believed the best way to demonstrate genuine alignment was through a fair launch, purchasing our share just like everyone else.
No team allocation.
While this means distribution has been slower, it’s helped establish an organic holder base, with ethereum:0x3ca20831ebea5c99aa6e574d83f0a7c733f7e4d0 designed to support our NFT ecosystem for the long term.
We’re still early in that mission, but we’ve already introduced several important upgrades and will continue expanding its utility as the primary currency powering our ecosystem.
There’s plenty of work ahead, but our commitment hasn’t changed.
As Chimpers grows, we want ethereum:0x3ca20831ebea5c99aa6e574d83f0a7c733f7e4d0 to grow alongside it 🐒

It's Grail Season! @ChimpersHQ
Made with the Chimpers Binder App. chimpersbinder.com/
If you've been in the space a while you accept the market values hype, attention, volume, who's buying and the potential for short term profits
And that's usually driven from new projects, speculative events, and has nothing to do with tangible achievements
The reality is people don't care about real work, or normal measures of value
There is a big difference between the value of a brand and what people are prepared to pay for its NFTs
But it's the reality of the space
As a project all you can do is keep adding value
Remember when @TimpersHD made the Diamond Fleece card set back in 2024, based on The Boring Ape Chronicles?
Maybe one day we'll see some of Timpers pixels in Mudwater. Would be fun!
