Save the Kongonauts

The cyber-rift has opened. Transdimensional cybernaut gorillas (the Kongonauts!) are coming into our metaverse.

Unfortunately, so are some other things...

What's going on here?

In an alternate timeline (not so different from ours, actually), Kongs are the ones who invent computers, create networked virtual realities, and dominate the world as Kongonauts.

But it's no utopia. One group of peace-loving Kongonauts (the BFFs, aka the Ben Franklin Friends, aka we'll explain later) is being hunted down by their not-so-peaceful enemies, the Face Punchers, aka the Pugilists, aka the Pugs.

What do the BFFs want? They want to make cool stuff and share it. They want to live in peace and harmony. They want to not get punched in the face.

Unfortunately for the BFFs, the face-punching Pugs outnumber them by a lot. And ultimately, the only way they could escape was by creating a cyber-rift to escape into the cyberspace of another timeline. Our timeline.

And they need our help to get through.

The Battle Plan

First things first, we've got to help pull the Kongonauts through the cyber-rift. Thankfully, the rift is tied to the Ethereum blockchain, so getting a Kongonaut through is as simple as minting an NFT.

But what happens after they start coming through? Here's what you can expect in the coming months (we'll update the timeline as we can):

  • 10,000 Kongonauts will enter our timeline via NFT minting
  • Kongonomicon - in progress
  • Research Blog - Read it here
  • Token holders will help discover names for their Kongonaut
  • A web comic series that reveals the origin and history of the Kongonauts
  • A strategy game for global cyberspace domination
