Minted Projects
Chimpers (81%) – PFP/Collectible
Website – Twitter – OpenSea
Chimpers is a collection of 5,555 pixelated chimps built by three NFT-native founders. 100 genesis chimpers were redeemable by holders of a previous collection known as The Boring Ape Chronicles (TBAC). The Chimpers team hopes to design an enthralling web3 adventure story with groundbreaking art and a strong community. Focused on uncovering the secrets of the Chimpverse, the Chimpers adventure carries on with little to no communication from the team whose stated approach is to “underpromise and overdeliver.” One of the founders messaged in Discord that they have 12 to 18 months worth of a roadmap but they would not release it publicly because they want to reward those loyal to them.

Pre-Mint Projects
Dogamí Series 2 – Gaming
Website – Twitter
Dogamí is a mobile play-to-earn (the team prefers to use play AND earn) game modeled after the popular Tamagotchi toys. The first collection of 8,000 Dogamí NFTs included eight different playable dog breeds. On May 31, Dogamí is releasing 4,000 more NFTs of five new breeds. The team is working full-time to release the game in August. The Dogamímobile app will allow users to interact with their dogs to create bonds, give them food and water, and eventually compete with other dogs in the DOGAMÍ Olympics for $DOGA rewards. If taking care of a dog is too much commitment, users can send them to a “pet sitter” by staking their NFTs. Investors in the project include Animoca Brands, Blockchain Founders Fund, and Draper Goren Holm. The Sandbox recently partnered with Dogamí to allow the dogs to be playable in both the Dogamí metaverse, the Petaverse, and The Sandbox.
Team:
According to Dogamí, the team is 35 strong and aims to grow to 40 to 60 people by the end of the year. Co-Founder and CEO Max Stöckl spent three years at BCG specializing in corporate finance, strategy, and technology. Adrien Magdelaine, Co-Founder and COO, was a Co-Founder at Wamiz, a website focusing on pets acquired by Nestlé in 2021. CTO and Co-Founder, Bilal El Alamy, is a serial blockchain entrepreneur.
The advisory team at Dogamí is stellar as well. The team consists of Sebastien Borget, COO and Co-Founder of The Sandbox, Neville Brody, a permanent artist at the museum of metropolitan art in New York, Yat Siu, Chairman of the Board of Animoca Brands, and other prominent partners at crypto VC firms.
Utility:
Dogamí NFTs can be staked for 22% rewards paid in $DOGA tokens. NFTs will be playable in the Petaverse and can be used to earn rewards through various gameplay mechanisms. Dogamí partnered with The Sandbox and is working to allow their avatars to roam The Sandbox virtual world.
Social Media Metrics:
Co-Founder and CEO Max Stöckl said their greatest challenge in the first three months was getting 5K Twitter followers. Two months later, it surpassed 100K followers and today has 111K on top of its 116K Discord members.

Vandal City – PFP/Gaming
Twitter – Discord
Vandal City, the home of multi-millionaires hiding away in their skyscraper homes and private estates, is being taken over by a band of bandits & bank robbers. 10,000 Solana-based Bandit NFTs will be launched in early June. This project has implemented staking for holders to take part in its bank heist game. Bandits earn a standard yield of 12 $VAULT a day while staked. The Bandits will use $VAULT tokens to crack the codes of the bank vaults and will receive $SOL as a reward. Besides the bank heist game, the project has implemented multiple use cases for its $VAULT token including participating in NFT auctions, purchasing NFT raffle tickets, playing Vandal City mini-games, and buying Vandal City merchandise. Vandal City comes from the minds of Celestial Labs. Celestial Labs has previously designed Solana’s first gamified staking algorithm NFTs, Puppy Pound.
Team:
Vandal City is created by Berry and Unshackled, founders of Celestial Labs and creators of Solana NFT project Puppy Pound. They are joined by 3D Art Director EU Degens, 2D Artists Roxi & Tej, Lead Developer SOL EVO, and Video Producers NickyC & Spiderman Baby. The founders are pseudonymous and have stated that they do not want to doxx themselves due to safety concerns, but will gladly do any KYC asked of them.
Utility:
Holders of Vandal City Bandit NFTs will be able to stake their NFTs 2 days after mint and assemble crews of 2 holders. They will earn a standard yield of 12 $VAULT daily. The Bandits will use $VAULT tokens to crack the codes of the bank vaults and will receive $SOL as a reward. It will cost 21 $VAULT tokens per clue reveal and per guess of a full Solana address to receive all of its $SOL contents. Each clue will state which wallet of the hidden wallets it leads to. These clues come in 5 tiers: Diamond, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Duds.
$VAULT token can also be used for participating in NFT auctions, purchasing NFT raffle tickets, playing Vandal City mini-games, and buying Vandal City merchandise. All tokens spent playing mini-games will be sent to a burn wallet and therefore be removed from the total supply of $VAULT. Holders will have the option to use $VAULT tokens to purchase Vandal City merch boxes that contain various Vandal City branded items. There are also plans to create the Vandal City DAO, where owners will be able to Vote and collaborate on the future of Vandal City.
Social Media Metrics:
Vandal City has 227K followers on Twitter and 192K members in its Discord.
