When I was a kid, some of my favorite moments were spent with my dad. Because he loved telling stories. As I grew older, I discovered a library filled with many of the stories he used to tell me. I bought some of those books and gave them to him. Seeing how happy he was reminded me of something I've never forgotten: Stories have power. They connect generations, spark imagination, and stay with us long after the moment has passed. That's one of the reasons the narratives around @poplighton resonate with me so deeply. The art alone is already outstanding @markrise_art has established himself as one of the most distinctive artists in the space. But what makes this upcoming collection even more compelling is the narrative behind it. Great art catches attention. Great narratives create connection. And when you combine exceptional artwork with a rich and intentional narrative something that feels increasingly rare in this space you create the foundation for something truly special. For this I'm so excited about what Poplighton is building.

What happens if you grow a global character brand, with a world of products, games and experiences, where NFTs and token are integrated, and all holder are aligned with the journey I guess we’ll find out 🐒

Who is pumping @BasedCoinL2 nfts? Higher 🔥🔥🔥 Early Monday vibes

Meet the Six Chimpanions. The more I study them, the more I realize they're not random characters. They're carrying the legacy of some of the most iconic figures( 100 Genesis ) in the Chimpverse . ✓ Koguma —> from the lineage of Tedi A collector of stories, songs, and secrets. The kind of companion that believes every story deserves to be shared. ✓ Numa —> from the lineage of Giri A quiet pathfinder who knows every corner of the swamp and becomes a fierce protector when those they care about are threatened. ✓ N-100 —> from the lineage of M-100 A curious young Nano obsessed with learning, technology, and the dream of becoming something greater. ✓ Kara —> from the lineage of Tamago A loyal wanderer who may get lost from time to time, but will never leave a friend behind. ✓ Koinu —> from the lineage of Shogun Small in size, mighty in loyalty, always ready to protect their pack. ✓ Tanchō —> guided by Master Chimpo A mysterious traveler whose paths somehow always lead back to the other companions. What fascinates me is that these aren't just six new characters. They're six new narratives. Six new branches growing from stories that already exist. And over the coming weeks, I want to explore something deeper: Which @ChimpersHQ deserves which Chimpanion? Because I have a feeling some pairings were destined long before the Eggs ever hatched.

What happens when Nomone is equipped with Koguma? First, let's understand who Nomone is. Nomone grew up under the guidance of Rokujirou, destined to interpret the futures hidden within the crystals of Armaria. A Chimp burdened by prophecy. A Chimp carrying expectations bigger than themselves. Yet despite all of that, Nomone found comfort in something simple. A small yellow duck named Mr. Quack. The duck reminds Nomone of the quiet life they never got to live. Now let's look at Koguma. Koguma believes every story is worth sharing. Collecting songs, secrets, and knowledge is what Koguma loves most. So what changes when these two meet? I think Nomone stops being just a keeper of prophecies. And becomes a storyteller. Instead of carrying the weight of every future alone, Koguma gives Nomone someone to share those stories with. Someone who listens. Someone who understands. Someone who reminds Nomone that life is more than destiny. In a strange way, Koguma doesn't strengthen Nomone's powers. Koguma strengthens Nomone's heart. And that's what makes this pairing beautiful. Kudos to @ChimpersHQ team on this ✊💚

NFTs will be one of the fastest growing markets over the next 5 years. ~ utility ~ culture ~ identity ~ alignment ~ community ~ speculation ~ brandability ~ collectability ~ financial upside Few will remain relevant... but the ones that do become brands for generations.

RT @DroBTC: Good Saturday Morning #NFT Lovers. Just Upgraded my @ChimpersHQ Chimpanions by Chimpers Every chimp needs one !CHIMP 🙈…

Draft punk.

Two things happen when you equip a Chimpanion to a @ChimpersHQ . 1. The Chimp increases in value. A Chimpanion is already a scarce asset on its own. There are only 222 of them in a universe of 5,555 Chimps and 99 Genesis. The moment a Chimp carries one, you're no longer looking at an ordinary Chimp. You're looking at a Chimp with an additional layer of rarity, identity, and collectibility. 2. The Chimp's narrative becomes richer. And this is the part I think people are overlooking. A Chimpanion doesn't just follow a Chimp around. It becomes part of its story.

gm Chimpanions 🤝 Just picked up Rooftop Shinobi Koinu in Shadow. He's a good boy... Only 1 of 2 left of this colour. Who’s getting the other? 👀

Many of you have seen me talk about Benchmark before. Today, I want to explain the idea behind it. Founded by @_Craig_ , Benchmark was built on a simple belief: Web3 needs better ways for good people to find each other. Not through follower counts or engagement metrics. But through reputation, contribution, and the value they bring. What makes Benchmark different is its focus on people like Creators, contributors, and builders connecting with others who share the same desire to create something meaningful. A place where opportunities come from trust. A place where projects can find the right people, and people can find the right projects. That is the idea. Not the biggest network in Web3. Just one worth being part of. If that resonates with you, reach out to Craig.

GM. This is how I start my Sundays ⚽️ 🌧

I have no idea what the founder is ultimately building. But one thing I know is that this is one of the best narratives I have come across in a while. When I first came across @0xhazels , I wasn't looking at the mint details, utility, or roadmap. I was reading the story. And somewhere along the line, I forgot I was reading about an NFT collection. I found myself reading about eight girls from a forgotten corner of Tokyo who were taught to stay quiet. Then a jujutsu instructor named Rei brought them together above an abandoned sento and taught them something simple: The first lesson is not how to win. It's how to rise after being thrown. They called themselves Hazels, a seed that breaks the hardest shell from within. That part hit me. "Nobody rises alone. Knowledge is shared, not hoarded." In a space where attention is often extracted and communities are treated like numbers on a dashboard, this narrative feels different. Money. Code. Law. Art. Body. Voice. Trade. Memory. Eight paths. Eight lessons. One story. "They fell seven times. The eighth time they rose together." I don't know what @Rosaaa is cooking behind the scenes. But I know a good story when I see one. And this one reminds me that the strongest communities are usually built around a shared belief long before they're built around a product.

GM to those who believe in the culture. Where NFTs meet Benchmark, reputation becomes currency, contribution becomes proof, and every connection has a story behind it.
