# 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.
