Hi Tribe,
Welcome to the 3rd Edition of the EAPES Update Newsletter. The Team is settling in and on a roll. In the short time we’ve been together, we’ve accomplished a lot, and even more exciting things are on the horizon. Below is a summary of the developments from the past two weeks.
Partnerships and Collaborations
The EAPES team believe that collaboration and creativity are the keys to unlocking the full potential of our community. Through a range of exciting initiatives and projects, we are working tirelessly to bring people together, foster new ideas, and drive innovation forward. Let’s take a closer look at some of the exciting ways we are empowering collaboration and creativity.
Cyberpunk City
We are excited to announce that we will be hosting a Twitter space on Friday, March 24th at 17h UTC with our partners, Cyberpunk City. This is your chance to ask any questions related to Web3 gaming, Metaverse games, P2E, Tokenomics, Team, Roadmap, and more. The Cyberpunk City team will be there to answer all your questions and give you more insight into the project we have partnered with. We are also giving away rewards (5 EGLD) during the space, so be sure to attend, take a screenshot, and post it in the comments to qualify.
Join Cyberpunk City’s socials to stay up-to-date. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to gain more knowledge of CPC and have some fun with the community!
EAPES announced a partnership with the very talented Cyberpunk City team. The Primes voted to stake 2,500 EGLD from EAPES DAO Wallet with Cyberpunk Stake provider. In return, EAPES will receive numerous benefits:
1- 4 CYBER tokens per EGLD staked per month.
Over the course of one month, the 2,500 EGLD staked with Cyberpunk Stake will generate 10,000 CYBER tokens (2,500 EGLD * 4 CYBER per EGLD). The CYBER will be staked in the Cyberpunk dApp that currently gives a juicy 63.68% APR!
The Team intends to stake the EAPES CYBER tokens for as long as the staking rewards are beneficial to the community. Perhaps after 3–6 months, the Team can unstake if they find a better staking option (like Hatom Protocol, as an example). Once the CYBER tokens are unstaked, the rewards will be distributed to holders who have staked their EAPES after the staking period ends.
2- The Team will airdrop CYBER tokens to holders who have staked their EAPES.
In addition to 1 above, the Team will distribute some CYBER tokens in the first week of April to holders who have currently staked their EAPES! These CYBER tokens rewards will be claimed in the EAPES dApp, the same way stakers claim their Egld rewards right now. The amount of CYBER tokens stakers are entitled to, will follow the same actual ranking pools.
Snapshots have been made since March 7th and are still being performed on a daily basis. The Team recommends that you stake your EAPES now in order to receive your share of these CYBER tokens. It’s not too late, go stake your EAPE.
About Cyperpunk City
Cyberpunk City is an upcoming MMO (Massive Multi-Player Online) role playing game built on Unreal Engine 5. The initial playground of Cyberpunk City will be an open-world instanced cityscape containing various PVP and PVE activities such as co-op missions, PVP duels and citizen races. Citizens will be able to group up, hang out at a local bar, attend to a citizen-run concert and express themselves with unique dance emotes or just simply cruise through the night.
One of Cyberpunk City’s many unique features is the “Own the Game” concept behind it. They have developed this concept to combat the rapid inflations caused by the traditional “Play to Earn” system. To put it simply: by owning an NFT, you get to own the game.
The list of Cyberpunk Partners is strong and include:
Proteo DeFi, QoWatt, Hatom Protocol and now EAPES.

The primes have completed the voting process and the Team are thrilled to announce the following five primes that will be the member of the Launchpad Committee:
- scottyaaron32

- metaunicorn
- vapedx

The Launchpad Committee will develop a set of criteria and guidelines for screening potential Launchpad partners. Other responsibilities will include setting up a Launchpad Application Form, determining specific benefits for each Launchpad partner for Primes and the entire community as well as a Launchpad Calendar. The Team will provide guidance and a set of marketing materials for the Launchpad Committee to use.
This is an exciting initiative that will bring additional value to our beloved EAPES.

Branding
The tribe has spoken. The overwhelming majority selected EAPES as the new branding name for the project. The Team is in the process of securing all social and online domains that are available and will be progressing through the changeover to the new EAPES brand name.
Don’t forget, when using socials and in discussions with your friends, please use the following hashtags.
#EAPES #EAPEStogether #letsgobananas
New Website
Our new website is currently under construction and making great progress. We’re in the finalization phase and we’re working to ensure that the artistic guidelines are in line with our tools. Stay tuned for updates on our official launch!
Merch
Now that the new brand name has been selected, the EAPES team is working to secure suppliers and develop new designs that incorporate the new, light EAPES brand. Once all the details have been finalized, the team will reopen the Merch store and offer our community the highest quality products. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the store’s current closure, but please know that we’re doing everything we can to ensure that the new store will exceed your expectations. Stay tuned for updates on our progress, and thank you for your patience and support.
EAPES ISLANDS
The team has received one quote for the creation of all 10,000 EAPES in 3D and are awaiting a second quote from another provider. There is a lot of work involved in discussions with the providers and conveying the desire to have the highest quality renderings of the EAPES.
The tribe received a brief preliminary look at EAPES in 3D walking down a street in Cyberpunk City. These 3D apes were put together on very short notice and are not what a final product would look like but the excitement generated from this short video clearly shows the potential 3D EAPES would have.
