# historical value

On **April 21st, 2022** we set out to do <mark style="background-color:purple;">the impossible</mark>. Our goal?\
Turn a rugged derivative project into the one of the <mark style="background-color:orange;">greatest communities on Solana</mark>.

On **September 14th, 2022** we made that a reality.\
We minted out a <mark style="background-color:red;">10,000k collection</mark> and <mark style="color:green;">gave half of it away for free</mark> to the OGs.\
Only two goals in mind; make the greatest community possible & <mark style="color:purple;">be</mark> <mark style="color:orange;">very</mark> <mark style="color:red;">different</mark>.

On **August 24th, 2022** we launched Social Staking and <mark style="color:blue;">broke twitter</mark>. We were the <mark style="background-color:purple;">#1 most tweeted project across all chains</mark> & one of the few NFT projects on Solana to reach <mark style="color:blue;">#1 on OpenSea</mark>.

On **October 12th, 2022** we sponsored an <mark style="background-color:orange;">IRL event in Las Vegas</mark> and our community <mark style="color:green;">made memories with some of the biggest names in Web3</mark>. We also won an award[^1].

On **December 19th, 2022** we dropped the <mark style="background-color:red;">craziest chain-wide IP trait collaboration ever</mark>. We collaborated with the almost <mark style="color:green;">every blue-chip community on Solana</mark> including DeGods, Y00ts, Stoned Ape Crew, Cets On Creck, ABC, Dead King Society & more.

On **February 6th, 2023** we became the <mark style="background-color:purple;">first collection with a deflationary trait ecosystem</mark>. Our collectors now get <mark style="color:green;">cool stuff</mark> for burning traits, <mark style="background-color:orange;">solving trait inflation</mark>. Thanks to our constantly evolving catalog, the collection will always <mark style="background-color:red;">represent the people and communities</mark> around us.

On **March 18th, 2023** we took a <mark style="background-color:purple;">new direction</mark> with our brand to <mark style="color:green;">prepare our IP for new heights</mark> and to signal the start of the <mark style="background-color:orange;">most experimental roadmap</mark> we could possibly imagine.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://bvdcat.gitbook.io/bvd/be-very-different/historical-value.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
