17 updates today and counting This is coming together very quickly Super grateful for the support 🙏

You can’t chase a meta that didn’t exist when you started building.

Over the last month the jungle has evolved right in front of your eyes and in public Piece by piece, update by update. Until the jungle started becoming real this week We appreciate the support and will continue to improve and build everyday We rode every wave together and we’re seeing the light of day together The jungle is here to stay 🦧🌴

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 🦧

80% of the uAPE collection has now been minted Watching thousands of first time NFT holders take part in this has been one of the coolest parts of this We plan on introducing something new to gaming on Solana and aspire to define new methods and ways to participate in games on Solana through real on-chain assets. The final 20% is gonna hit different After the collection is fully minted, $uAPE will continue to serve as the main engine behind the game, own your plots using $uAPE, mint buildings, temples, docks..etc just simple by holding a specific amount of $uAPE for a specific amount of time All $uAPE holders also receive 1 uAPE mini just for holding 250,000 $uAPE for 24 hours We will be putting together an entire detailed article, videos, and posts explaining the complete dynamics of the jungle soon.

It's crazy how much work can be done in so little time when there's clear direction and a goal larger than life! Update #5 is already live For now the updates are focused on bringing a beautiful canvas that solana:5E2woTdd2Gc4BpfE4yDPC4rTEJCo3fijhveDxhaZpump holders can then build with their own resources and NFTs Next step will be plugging in all the resources and letting the apes start claiming their plots (for existing solana:5E2woTdd2Gc4BpfE4yDPC4rTEJCo3fijhveDxhaZpump holders) and for future solana:5E2woTdd2Gc4BpfE4yDPC4rTEJCo3fijhveDxhaZpump holders to purchase their plots by holding solana:5E2woTdd2Gc4BpfE4yDPC4rTEJCo3fijhveDxhaZpump After that we add the NFT collections for buildings, temples, docks..etc. Current and future solana:5E2woTdd2Gc4BpfE4yDPC4rTEJCo3fijhveDxhaZpump holders will receive their NFT buildings, temples, docks..etc based on how much solana:5E2woTdd2Gc4BpfE4yDPC4rTEJCo3fijhveDxhaZpump they hold (valid for swaps from SOL to solana:5E2woTdd2Gc4BpfE4yDPC4rTEJCo3fijhveDxhaZpump only, no wallet-to-wallet transferred funds will be allowed to claim plots or NFTs) More updates will be coming

A lot of people are asking how utility and resource sinks will work in uAPE, so here’s a simplified example: Every Ape in the Jungle will need resources to perform tasks Want your Ape to build a structure and mint it as an NFT? You'll need to feed it resources such as $BANANAS and $WATER. The more work you want your Ape to do, the more resources it will require. Those resources don't just disappear. Bananas, Water, and other future resources are sent into ecosystem pools, where they're converted back into SOL. That SOL is then used to fund things that help grow the ecosystem: • Server infrastructure • Marketing & user acquisition • Partnerships & integrations • Development of new features • Future expansions of the Jungle The goal is to create a self-sustaining ecosystem where utility drives resource consumption, and resource consumption helps fund continued growth and development. This is just one example of how the larger uAPE economy is being designed More details will be shared as mechanics are finalized

First update is pushed to prod jungle.uape.fun This is v0.0.01 so the visuals are still super basic and barebones. The idea is: we will upgrade the canvas on our end to make a beautiful base jungle that gets built and shaped by the holders as we go today, then we connect the resources to the game. You will be allocated a plot based on how much $uAPE you hold, you can then build your plot, sell it, trade your buildings in the uAPE marketplace or on Magic Eden/Tensor, similar with your resources, you will be able to use them in your plot or list them for sale on the uAPE marketplace or through a traditional DEX. We are aiming for the final version to look something like this 👇

I’m building the final boss of Solana games The vision for uAPE is now clearer than ever uAPE started off with a hold the token to mint the NFTs model, has now evolved to be an entire economy built on Solana. More frequent updates on the build as as I go Stay tuned for this one

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.

Apes are still aping 🦍
