It’s been an incredible year, and I couldn’t be more excited about what comes next. Fuzzybear will be entering a new chapter under new leadership, and I have complete confidence in the team stepping in to lead Fuzzybear forward. Project resources remain committed to supporting Fuzzybear growth and expansion, and the team’s vision and drive align perfectly with what this project stands for. The foundation is strong, the future is bright, and the best is yet to come!

Happy birthday $FUZZY! Year 1 has been nothing short of phenomenal, but this is only the beginning. We’re excited and honored to build on the foundation laid by @fuzzy_dev_ as we move into its next chapter, and can’t wait to continue this journey with you all, the best is yet to come!

These last 321 days have been phenomenal!

I’m the creator of Fuzzybear, responsible for the concept, narrative, and art, and while I think it’s quite obvious, I will clarify nonetheless that I am not nor connected to the original Fuzzybear wallet, Bearableguy, Ripple, David, Brad, Arthur, Trump, Elon, or any other person I’ve seen in speculation, nor am I connected to any other XRPL projects.

Fuzzybear began as a spontaneous idea of mine intended to create a memecoin sharing and celebrating XRP lore and culture. I never had any plan or roadmap, I’ve just been expressing my passion for XRP through my memes and art, and used service providers to do the rest. I’ve spent every weekend this past year making memes and put in extra time during the week for the NFTs and coordinating other developments. It has always been my intention to complete this tribute and let Fuzzybear take on a life of its own, celebrating XRP lore and championing the narrative of XRP flipping Bitcoin. Today marks the completion of that tribute.

The X and the website will remain online, but I will not be renewing other services or coordinating other developments. I will use 17K XRP from the NFT wallets to cover project costs incurred this past year, and will use the remaining 100K XRP and any future royalties to support liquidity for $FUZZY on the DEX. I will not be making any new art, leaving the X timeline a tributary meme gallery. Although the Telegram Group is utilized by many people, I never intended to have a centralized group in the first place. I had it opened due to popular demand, but it has become incongruent with my vision for Fuzzybear and I’ve decided it best to close the group, returning to just a channel as was my original intention. I encourage people to form whatever groups they want and will have the group closed by the end of the day.

Fuzzybear is meant to be a truly decentralized movement with no central form of community membership. Anyone can buy some tokens or NFTs to join the community and show their support for the narrative.

I’ve learned so much since starting this journey—about XRP, its history, even the lore. I love all the communities and builders here on XRPL, regardless of any drama, and wish for everyone to get along peacefully and for all projects to succeed and grow. I’m incredibly grateful for the community that grew around Fuzzybear, and so glad you share my passion for XRP and the lore. I never would have thought Fuzzybear would be a David-denied persona. I hope you see now that there is no ‘special dev,’ and perhaps that is what makes Fuzzybear great—

I’m just an XRP holder who believes…
