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

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.

Ape Gang’s official roadmap

Times Square Billboard — 100% completed

It required a huge team effort and some of that TDUCKS charm to secure our Times Square billboard. But we did it!! More than 40 community apes will be featured 12 times an hour over a 3 day period from Friday October 22nd to Sunday October 24th.

Ape Gang will be featured on the “Express Store” billboard (The North East Corner of 46th St & 7th Ave, New York City) from Friday October 22nd to Sunday October 24th

Instagram revamp — 100% completed

Ape Gang’s Instagram has long been overdue for a revamp and we’re super happy with how it turned out. Moving forward, we will focus on highlighting the stellar artwork as well as our favorite IRL Ape Gang flexes and memes.

Twitter spaces — 100% completed

Twitter spaces are a great way to engage with Twitter’s NFT community and based on the hugely popular Twitter spaces we did this week, we are definitely planning on making more on a regular basis. For our first two spaces close to 450 people joined in and they each lasted for about 3 hours. We loved to hear all the feedback everyone had and all the questions that were asked. HBA was our main speaker (let’s face it HBA loves to talk) but Hub, bulKZ and Spaceman also got a few words in. A ton of questions were answered regarding toucans and utility and some mayor teasers were revealed as well.

We have a roadmap behind the roadmap, its a secret treasure map

Online Marketing — 50% completed

We want to ensure that everyone in the NFT space knows who we are. To achieve this, we are launching a targeted online marketing campaign to get traffic and banner impressions from relevant audiences through Google Display. So don’t be surprised if you start seeing Ape Gang banner adds popping up on your screens.

The banners are going to look insane
Hell yeah!!

Huge sales and famous influences

We saw too many huge sales this week to list them all. Instead, GAZE at this.

We also welcomed both JC and Jake Paul to the gang (although Jake Paul still didn’t step up and tweet about Ape Gang…..not to worry though…HBA is chasing him down).

Welcome to Ape Gang, Jake Paul!!
Welcome to Ape Gang, JC!!

BGB whips Ape Gang into a frenzy

If the mentioning of BGB doesn’t make you fear losing your apes, then you’ve been living under a rock for sure. Besides amassing and absolutely diamond-handing more than 600 apes and counting, BGB also institutionalized two new words in Ape Gang’s collective vocabulary.

GAZE! — (used whenever BGB’s vader is flexed in the discord)

GANKD! — used whenever BGB empties an OpenSea account for apes

The GANKD! videos on Twitter are addictive. Go treat yourself!

Tattoos

Speechless.

Congratulations ClayNFTSeuss

Ape Gang’s fan club is lit

We continue to blown away by the team from Gangs of Ape City. GAZE!

Sick!

Competitions and give-aways

Bulkz 1vs1 bracket competition

Top dog Bulkz hosted another 1vs1 competition on October 13th. 128 apes went head to head in the training channel with DeafApeGang being crowned the ultimate winner.

Congratulations DeafApeGang!!

DeafApeGan will receive a custom high resolution poster print of his chosen ape and we can’t wait to see how it turns out.

The chosen one
