Tribe, our Aug NewsLetter is live

We’re thrilled to recap the past month and share exciting updates on what’s just around the corner!

1. Community Initiatives

Banana Brain Benders

We kicked things off with the inaugural EAPESBanana Brain Benders” challenge competition! This exciting contest consists of three consecutive challenges, each presenting a series of riddles designed to lead you to a hidden 4-digit code. Your task is to uncover this code by deciphering visual clues and hidden words, but beware, some clues might be missing. Join the fun and participate in the ongoing Brain Bender, which started on Sunday, August 13th, in the Banana Brain Benders channel: https://discord.gg/aUV9Katm

It’s not too late to jump in!

Each challenge offers a chance to win an Island Relic with Banana Powers 2, 3, and 4. Dive into the challenges and check out the accompanying videos for guidance.

Special Trait Staking Pool

Attention Party Hat EAPES! You’re invited to join the Special Pool for the next two weeks. To do so, simply unstake and re-stake your EAPE with a Party Hat, and it will automatically be placed in the special pool.

For those in the old Special Pool (Striped T-shirt), kindly unstake and re-stake in the normal pool to continue earning staking rewards and banana points. Please note that anyone who has staked in any old Special Trait Pool must follow this process to receive ongoing staking rewards.

4. Partnerships and Collaborations

3D EAPES

Our talented lead for artistic development at Activision, Jimmy, has been hard at work on our 3D EAPES. He’s meticulously crafted a proportions template and introduced a sculpting layer for muscle structure, achieving a level of detail that’s nothing short of breathtaking. The 3D template files have been shared with our partners at CyberPunk City, who are set to create a demo ape body with unprecedented detail. The synergy between our teams has been flawless and we can’t wait to unveil the results!
