$LEAF is the result of grit, patience, and refusing to quit. This wasn’t something we launched. It's a CTO and we persist, relentlessly until @MWApeRescue finally heard us. We reached out everywhere. Facebook. LinkedIn. Twitter. Email. Even phone calls. All to tell them one simple thing: there was £2,000 sitting in a wallet waiting to be claimed. That was six weeks ago. Look at where we are now. We managed to triple the initial donation and make it over £6,000. A lot of people didn’t believe they would respond, let alone claim the donation. When they finally did, we walked them through the process step by step. The very first thing we told them: never share your private keys with anyone. That alone already sets this apart. Most projects on @BagsApp stop once a donation is claimed. Many don’t even get acknowledged by royalty recipients. And most would take advantage the fact that they didn't know anything about crypto. But this was different. They didn’t just claim it. They posted about it. They made a video. First, they publicly thanked us for helping them redeem the donation and confirmed it would go directly to the Ape Rescue Trust to help more primates in need. At that point, it was “just” £2,000. Second, they reassured everyone that they were not hacked and that they had successfully claimed £4,000 through BAGS, confirming the legitimacy of the platform. Third and this is the moment that truly mattered, they thanked the community in a video and said they were able to claim over £6,000. That had never happened before on BAGS. Not by a global organization. Not by someone like Dr. Alison Cronin, MBE. So who is Dr. Alison Cronin and why does this matter? She is a world-renowned primatologist and the Director of Monkey World Dorset, an institution dedicated to rehabilitating primates rescued from laboratory testing, the illegal pet trade, and wildlife smuggling. She earned her BA, MA, and PhD in Biological Anthropology from the University of Cambridge and later received an honorary doctorate from Oxford Brookes University. One of her most notable rescues was the 2006 airlift of 88 capuchin monkeys from a Chilean biomedical facility, carried out in coordination with the Chilean Air Force, the largest rescue of its kind. She is also one of the faces of Monkey Life, a long-running series with 357 episodes that have aired in over 140 countries and are now available on Prime Video and Netflix. Before that, she fronted Monkey Business with 118 episodes. In 2006, she and her husband Jim Cronin were jointly awarded the Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) by Queen Elizabeth II, an honor shared highly selected individuals like Ed Sheeran, Adele, and BLACKPINK. The point is simple: Monkey World Dorset is one of the most reputable, globally recognized institution in the world to support a coin on BAGS, and perhaps in all of CT. They’ve worked alongside governments and iconic figures like Jane Goodall. For an institution of this caliber to publicly acknowledge and support a project on @BagsApp and on CT at large is unprecedented. Their story didn’t start big. When Monkey World was founded in 1987, they spent their first six years struggling to raise funds. They operated without external support. Fast forward to today, and they now manage a 65-acre sanctuary housing over 250 primates from around the world, with over 20 species, most of them endangered and many of whom endured extreme cruelty before rescue. Rescuing primates isn’t simple as well. International rescues require agreements between governments. Some take years, sometimes decades. We recently shared how it took 15 years to rescue Naree from Thai authorities to illustrate just how complex this work can be: https://t.co/MmArmlwFeP Many of their rescues are published globally. Some are heartbreaking. After enduring unimaginable abuse, some monkeys forget how to be monkeys. Like humans, they struggle to trust again. In many ways, their trauma mirrors our own. And yet, despite all of this… $LEAF wasn’t even posted on @BagsEarnings for over a month. We fought to get it there. Our distribution was deliberately tainted by someone trying to make it look bad. By some miracle, gmgn finally updated yesterday to reflect the correct distribution. At a tiny market cap, we were rallying before @finnbags even returned. We became the most viewed project on @BNNBags. We were posted multiple times under 100K market cap and under $10K in royalties, something not seen on BAGS. When people said BAGS was dead. When they said FINN would never come back. We didn’t give up. We pushed harder. Our video crossed 22K views and still hasn’t been reposted by @BNNBags or @finnbags, despite similar projects with fewer views and less active communities being amplified. And still, we pressed on. We still be $leaf. Monkey World took a $leaf of faith on us, with their reputation at stake, and the least we can do is to give our very best to raise our goal when we started which is to raise at least $100,000. It was done multiple times on BAGS and if you look at them, this cause beats most of those who have more than $100,000 in royalties. This is bigger than crypto. This is mission is bigger than us. Community members like @MemeRetire consistently hit 20–30K views and @1owcap_hunt9r pulls 5–10K views with fewer followers than most KOLs. We’re also the most liked project by FINN. We’ve received likes and retweets from BAGS team members and even a like from @BagsApp itself. And here’s the part that matters most: We want to give the full $100,000 to Monkey World. Not to ourselves. When the v2 fee-sharing challenge launched, we were the only project pleading to be included, even as a v1. We didn’t care about the odds. We didn’t care how high the market cap needed to be. While others complained about how hard it was, we focused on the finish line. And while many recent BAGS projects faded, we held our market cap for longer periods of time, when most can’t even hold 100K. We held it for 24 hours. And we have one of the most bullish charts on BAGS. And not only that Monkey World is globally known, the primates themselves have become known worldwide: Oshine, the world’s fattest orangutan https://t.co/Q0AIzwtCq8 How Monkey World started with a dream https://t.co/Sx8julvrf8 Charlie, who forgot how to be a chimp https://t.co/Zsbfzo3LVl The airlift rescue of 88 capuchins https://t.co/9iYsfsQJyA Chocolat, a paralyzed chimp rescued with DHL’s help https://t.co/G3TkFDhXoI Naree (a rescue which took 15 years in the making) https://t.co/MmArmlwFeP Milly, a marmoset thrown in a toilet https://t.co/cN57pIusGq And now, what we’re helping fund: The rescue of six baboons stuck in Beirut during an active war https://t.co/MlPTzDBj96 This is why we be $LEAF that this is a project that @solana and @toly could get behind. They supported Feed The People before and it reached a $12M market cap. If they look deeper at Monkey World Dorset, the largest primate rescue center on the planet, we be $leaf that they would support something like this. Our community has shown persistence, conviction, and strength despite all odds. We be $leaf that this is something much bigger than ourselves and we want this to be our legacy. @Sambags12 @sincara_bags @alaadotsol @0xdoncarlo @ramyobags
