13 updates pushed to the jungle today Next up we’re working on one of the biggest changes yet, we’ll be ripping out all of the placeholder assets and everything starts getting built around real on-chain assets. Resources will use their respective tokens (The complete list of the resources CA’s were posted earlier today) Next step: Buildings become NFTs Collectibles become NFTs Land claims begin shortly after For the first time, apes will be able to start claiming pieces of the jungle before the economy fully comes online. The goal was never to build another game where everything lives inside a database. The goal was always to build a real in-game economy that lives on Solana. A jungle where every resource, building, collectible and plot of land can be owned, traded and used by players inside of the game or on exchanges or NFT marketplaces Back to building

A lot of people have been asking what is happening with uAPE. The answer is simple: We’re not building a game with an economy. We’re building game on top of the existing Solana economy. Most ‘blockchain’ games still operate like traditional games underneath: -You collect resources inside a database. -You earn gold inside a database. -You craft items inside a database. -You buy and sell items inside of a database You buy and sell from custody wallets that are not on chain and being brokered by a database. Then somewhere along the way, some of that value gets bridged onto the blockchain. We’re taking a completely different approach. In the uAPE world, the economy itself lives on Solana. Resources aren’t numbers stored in a game server. 🍌 Bananas are tokens 🪵 Wood is a token 🪨 Stone is a token ⛓️ Iron is a token 💧 Water is a token 🥇 Gold is a token Need resources? You acquire the actual resource token. Whether you acquire it in game or through an exchange. Not a database entry. The REAL asset. Buildings work the same way: 🌳 Treehouses 🏘️ Villages 🛒 Markets 🏰 Fortresses ⚓ Docks 🛕 Temples Every structure is an actual, real, tradable NFT. Completely owned by players. Tradable by players. You can trade them inside the uAPE marketplace, but also anywhere NFTs can be traded: Magic Eden. Tensor. Any marketplace that supports the asset. The game doesn’t own the economy. The players do. That’s the part that excites us most. Because once the economy exists independently of the game itself, something interesting happens: The world becomes bigger than the developers. Markets emerge naturally Trade routes emerge naturally Collectors appear Speculators appear Builders appear Entire businesses can form around resource production, trading, construction, transportation, collecting, and land ownership. The jungle starts behaving less like a game and more like a living digital economy Land is finite Resources have REAL supply and demand Buildings have utility Everything is player-owned Everything is on-chain We’ve seen games with NFTs We’ve seen games with tokens We’ve seen marketplaces attached to games What we haven’t really seen is an entire MMORPG-style economy where nearly every meaningful object, resource, collectible and piece of infrastructure exists directly on-chain and can freely move between the game and the broader Solana ecosystem. That’s the direction we’re exploring. An internet jungle economy built on Solana 🦧

Most NFT projects stop at collectibles, and most game projects stop at the token. uAPE is building an entire economy. We’re combining everything that Solana has to offer: games with our NFTs and Solana tokens. A game where the world is a REAL economy. Every resource will be a Solana token: 🍌 $BANANA 🪵 $WOOD 🪨 $STONE ⛓️ $IRON 💧 $WATER 🥇 $GOLD Every building will be an NFT: 🌳 Treehouses 🏘️ Villages 🛒 Markets 🏰 Fortresses ⚓ Docks 🛕 Temples Every pet will be an NFT: 🐒 Monkeys 🐕 Dogs 🐈 Cats 🦜 Parrots 🐅 Tigers 🦥 Sloths 🐸 Frogs 🦎 Lizards Land is finite, everything is player owned, everything is player crafted. Need wood to build? Buy $WOOD Need food? Buy $BANANA Need gold? Buy $GOLD The economy doesn’t exist on a database, it will exist on Solana. Not just another NFT project, and not just another game. We’re building an internet jungle where everything has value

We are moving away from the 3d style game and moving towards a simpler, cleaner, and a more modular system that allows us to easily expand the jungle as we grow.
