The Peel — November 13th 2021

As a tribute to legendary Ape Gang OG, ChefCryptoChris, we decided to continue naming Ape Gang’s weekly newsletter “The Peel”. The Peel drops every Saturday around 12noon — 5pm EST and includes roadmap updates plus other notable news from the Ape Gang Universe

Management Team update

This week PokermonFace joined the Management Team and we couldn’t be happier. He brings a wealth of YouTube and social media experience to the team and has been instrumental in developing Ape Gang’s tokenomics & Gang Wars integration.

Roadmap & project updates

Here’s a recap of what we achieved the last week in terms of roadmap progress and notable new projects being embarked on.

Roadmap 3.0 is our most ambitious roadmap to date. Once we’re finished executing on it, Ape Gang will belong to the absolute Super League of NFT projects

Buying land on Sandbox

The team delivered from day 1 of launching roadmap 3.0 and Ape Gang is now the proud owner of a parcel of Sandbox land in a prime location.

Remember the location of the orange square!

Metaverse

Ape Gang’s very own custom immersible 3D world is coming sooner than you think. Roam the jungles, chill with fellow apes, and flex your 3D ape to your heart’s desire. This week we dropped some sick leaks, and a live action video clip went viral. We hope you keep enjoying the daily teasers posted on Ape Gang’s Twitter account.

This went viral!!

Securing those eyeballs on our project!

Gang Wars

Founders Jokong & Rikong were out of control this week, leaking both Gang Wars Manager screenshots and Jaguars. In a surprise move, and a first for the NFT project space, Ape Gang’s community was asked to suggest traits for the Jaguar NFT collection. To date, this has resulted in more than 600 different traits suggestions from 131 different people. Simply amazing.

Merchandise

We order the first merchandise samples and they already look killer. At the same time this paragraph doubles as a sneak peak into Executive Manager Bulkz’s world. Enjoy!

Sword, sneakers, Ape Gang….what else can you find?

This is where the magic happens!

Voxel for Ape Gang holders

Despite first being due in Q2 2022, Jokong already teased a prototype vx that you can use inside your metaverse of choice (e.g. Sandbox).

If you followed Ape Gang on social media this week you’ll know that this ape has some serious dance moves

Comic book — 100% complete

Shane and his team airdropped 10.000 copies of the Gangs of Ape City comic — free of charge — for all apes in Ape Gang’ collection. If you want to buy more comic books to get a hold of that epic Ape Gang derivative art, there are still copies available on OpenSea.

All ape owners have now received one NFT comic book for each ape they own!

Buy 20 editions of Gangs of Ape City’s 1st comic* and get an awesome Schédio derivative of your Ape Gang NFT airdropped to your wallet!

You’ll want to consider entering this one. The artwork on those derivatives looks insane. Click here for more information.

Social Media

4000 followers on Instagram

Manager Spaceman is taking Ape Gang’s Instagram to new heights. We shot past 4000 followers and are heading for 10K by year-end.

Keep going SPACEMAN!

LFG!

Merchandise giveaway — congratulations to “eniegoo”

We were so psyched about the first merchandise samples arriving that we had do a small give-away. Congratulations to “eniegoo” who won the competition with a hilarious meme featuring crowd-pleaser BGB.

Apes look good everywhere. Especially at mysterious lakes.
