The Ape Society

What’s your project name?

The Ape Society

Who are you and your role with the project?

Ponziratti, one of the owners, I handle marketing, community, and various other things

How did you meet your co-founders/team?

We met over a year ago as crypto/NFT traders

What does a typical day look like for you and your team?

Non stop work

What was the inspiration behind your project?

Our art is inspired by the artwork in the Cardano roadmap. We wanted to bring Cardano a project that is doing something no other chain is doing in terms of our virtual economy. We are melding defi and NFTs, with the power of community.

Tell us a little bit about your project’s journey and where you are today with it.

We minted at the end of January. It's been a wild ride. We released our token last week, and staking is coming soon, along with our interactive cabins. It's been an amazing journey and we are very lucky to meet new folks within Cardano every day.

What would you have done differently if you could start over?

Nothing

What's the best advice for the NFT space you would give someone starting a project now?

Ask yourself "how can I deliver an absurd amount of value to our community" instead of what most ask, "how can we mint out as fast as possible". Be different.

What excites you about the future of the NFT/Crypto/Web 3 space?

The future of defi and NFTs. NFTs are still very early stage. Most people don't understand where this is going.

What are the biggest challenges you see us having as a whole in growing the NFT space?

Inclusivity. We were met with much resistance from OGs in the ecosystem who tried to ruin our project. Influencers telling their followers not to mint us (even though they themselves did), and much more. Nothing can stop this movement.

Drop some exciting news that is coming up with your project 🙂

We will have staking live soon, as well as our first Landmark reveal. Which will bring something new to Cardano that I think people will love.
