It’s always a good day to join the Chimpers community.
Not just because of the art, consistency, brand growth, and alignment with our holders, but because of the momentum building all around us.
Since the start of the year alone:
- 3.6M total followers milestone
- Major $CHMPSTR upgrades
- Migration to a royalty-enforcing contract
- Collab with Amazon x Otherside
- Blind-Boxes taking over
- Pop-up and brand expansion in Japan
And there’s much more ahead:
- Online shop launch
- New collectible card drops
- Collector Hub + Story Hub
- Kawaii art & lore evolution
- Card collaborations
- Global licensing partnerships
- Retail product rollout
- Games & interactive experiences
- Series 2 blind boxes + collectible toys
We’re not just growing the brand globally, we’re building with NFTs at the core.
Stronger than ever.
And this is just the beginning 🐒
The Chimpers Collector Hub is going to unlock a whole new layer of prestige, reputation, participation, collecting, and onboarding for the Chimpers Ecosystem.
Something is cooking…
Soon 🙊✨
Are NFTs going/trending to zero?
A lot of teams used NFTs as a stepping stone for liquidity events and beyond that really didn’t understand how to engage with their community, or continue to make them the centre of their world
Probably because when the NFTs, token, and brand become fragmented, the belief is that all the opportunity from NFTs has been exhausted, and now the token and brand become the priority and focus
Holders are then voyeurs of any success and, worse, continually asked to participate as transactional consumers, with little or no incentive to do so
By not treating your NFTs and your holders with the respect and importance they deserve, you’re basically leaving NFTs
This is extremely shortsighted in my opinion. Web3 is an amazing playground to test new ideas, technology, products, and experiences with your community, it’s such an incredible benefit and a fantastic resource
When you build this within the walls of an aligned ecosystem, where growth and success are shared, where there’s a genuine feeling of “we’re all in it together,” then it can be incredibly powerful
So when I hear “trending to zero,” it doesn’t just mean price, it means sentiment, interest, and belief. It means giving up instead of doubling down on the opportunity
And if some founders believe this, that’s fine
When they vacate NFTs in heart and mind, they leave a wide open space for projects that believe not only in NFTs, but that they, and their holders, are the most important part of an IP that wants to grow in the real world
Chimpers has one of the most diverse collections out there with 300+ unique traits 🐒✨
We’ve been working on something the community has been asking for.
A place to explore, and learn what makes each Chimpers special.
It’s time to make collecting easier than ever!
We love NFTs 🤝
So we scooped up our first strategy-listed Chimpers with royalties, and we’re giving it away!
Anyone who collects a Chimpers NFT by Friday will be entered to qualify.
Winner announced Friday in our weekly Spaces! 🐒✨
Having spent the past few months in the @ChimpersHQ team chat, I’ve finally been able to contextualise what previously I could only describe as instinct: the reasons why Chimpers is destined to rise to the top, and will never need to check the rear-view mirror.
Beyond the visible achievements, there’s a rare combination of ingredients that would be impossible for anyone else to replicate:
• Like-minded people who are genuinely complementary, working seamlessly toward a shared goal. It’s a family business, and you feel it every minute of every day.
• A world-class artist relentlessly expanding the lore of the brand. While most web3 projects are sliding down the AI slop pipeline, pumping out intern-prompted content, Timpers is creating new Chimpers IP every single day, with a level of mastery no machine will ever replicate.
• Two incredibly talented sidekicks, @Catist_art and @_LULU_art, driving the Kawaii expansion and providing enormous creative bandwidth to Timpers.
• An NFT network that is second to none, built the right way over four years by always treating people with respect.
• A clear vision and the discipline to execute it. No mountain is too high, and shortcuts are not an option.
• Community first. Every decision is made with its impact on the people in mind. Trust me, no one else in this space truly does that.
They don’t make projects like this anymore. In fact, I’m not sure they ever did.
If you are chimping, you’re going to win so much you’ll eventually get tired of winning 🐒
$CHMPSTR is the official ecosystem token for @ChimpersHQ
Launched by @token_works and adopted by us, it was fairly launched, no allocations, fully market bought by the community and team.
The token is designed to support the NFTs and the wider Chimpers ecosystem, while remaining open and accessible to anyone who wants to take part.
A reminder to read, understand, and get involved 🐒
My first @ChimpersHQ genesis added to the collection this morning. Wanted to keep my promise and show support to this amazing community. Special thanks to @seedphrase for putting me and the seller together. Hope everyone has a great Sunday !
[Blockchain diary 62/1959] I feel quite inspired by the Scharf collection at Altes Museum Berlin. Systematic, long term with a vision, through 3 generations (I acquired Bad Vibe Guy 1/1 while browsing last Sat).
I acquired this Divine 1/1 from @ChimpersHQ. With a Glitch, Tiktok feel, sparkles from full color spectrum.
☘️ At the conclusion of a 3-step process here, similar to my approach at @goodvibesclub:
- First, a starter PFP at Chimpers with personal connection (gem trifecta to parallel colors in the hobby).
- Then, a self-discovered grail, 4T chimplistic undead with deep cross-reference, POP 2 but actually POP 1 if asking for more color matching. This is only possible after going through entire catalog.
- Now, with kindness of @tylerdurdeth and guide of @NFT1nsight, I landed a POP 5 divine and my favorite, and also number 1 if sorted by rarity.
👀 The impression Chimpers gives me so far:
- Extremely and creatively welcoming. Gave me a honorary PFP matching my punk and quite proactive. As an onboarder for #PaniniBlockchain at community level, I can resonate and appreciate.
- They are open, not forcing to self-contained ecosystem blocking out other projects, open to collab and coexist. Their Otherside event, their TCG/trading card merch and openness to str tokens not created by their own.
- A legacy PFP project that has been through cycles and still grinding and relevant and very active in community, also not relying on infoFi (the latter which is shut down and now we have $1M award to top X essay, infoXFi LOL). A news days ago that Chimpers and GVC surpassed MAYC in FP momentarily is a milestone.
- Very active on social with strong collabs and impressions. Actually one of rare PFP projects that have large Instagram followings, where I was based mostly.
🤌 Collectors collect:
- The price point is identical to what I acquired my Jordan 1997 Game Jersey Auto /23 GJ13S in 2010, which is the first appearance of auto patch cards, very historically significant in the hobby, whose highest end now is defined via auto patches. That has 100-150x since as hobby takes off in this decade.
- The apparent passion/infectious chain reaction is fun: I acquired BVG 1/1 at GVC, then the prominent and ever-supportive collector @AdamWeitsman acquired the best GVC 1/1 VibeFoot, then @Nxn_nft123 acquired another GVC Melt 1/1, who actually acquired a Divine #4 at Chimpers a few days ago, and he inspired me to acquire this #2 (2+4 Kobe 24 appearance). Full Circle.
- Back to my main thesis again, I always want to get a/the best piece from top collections as I go down my collecting path, this is a mechanim of obtaining coffin collectibles (figuratively, worthy of long term holding to coffin but also displaying in coffin as one’s lifetime’s prize). The previous owner Tyler is precisely a biggest collector in the community and a advisor to the team.
- Embracing the pattern, when I acquired @moonbirds Enlightened, I missed out a founder Cosmic weeks earlier. I couldn’t reach a deal with the seller of Undead at @BadEggCompany and obtained Glitch. Then I obtained Cosmic from @goodvibesclub (CATA), but missed out Divine here. Then I found the most unique Undead here, and now Divine and on top, Glitch. All just fit. Curation with fusion in expression.
- Cultural relevance: Protagonist of one of big 4 China literature work is identifiable to the character here, also Black Myth Wukong.
- Trust my experience or instinct. Best item of a category with traction and fundamentals always ages well. Sometimes you cannot understand everything to nut and bolt, with enough proof of concep to your satisfaction, to still have the opportunity. Sometimes one has to transcend to get on such.
- I used to smile at lengthy proses in acquisition posts, because that item must mean something deep to new owners. Now I’m dangerously close to that, and thanks for reading and being shared with my collecting journey.
