Hey everyone, Reese here, founder of Genetix! We’re in a time of renewal and growth, facing a significant turning point: the evolution of MutantKongz into their final form, Gorilla Genesis. It’s a revolution, a circle coming to a close.
MutantKongz represent our true genesis, a symbol of raw, unrefined creative freedom.
The Legacy of CyberKongz
Acknowledging the crucial role of CyberKongz is essential. Their influence, in terms of innovation and community atmosphere, has left an indelible mark in the world of NFTs.
They’ve shown how creative freedom and technological curiosity can merge into a perfect synergy, creating a strong, vibrant cultural movement.
As a tribute, the MutantKongz collection will continue to exist on OpenSea, contributing to the broader NFT culture.
Artistic Evolution and Technical Independence
The art of MutantKongz, derived from CyberKongz, posed challenges for our brand’s growth.
For Gorilla Genesis, we’ve chosen to retain pixel art but on a 64×64 canvas. This brings them slightly closer to their hand-drawn Nemesis siblings, while maintaining a connection with our origins. This artistic evolution will bring coherence and uniformity to the ecosystem.
Technically, gaining independence from OpenSea’s storefront contract is another significant step. With Gorilla Genesis in our smart contract, we overcome previous limitations, enhancing user experience and offering greater flexibility.
The Continued Role of MutantKongz
MutantKongz remain an integral part of Genetix’s culture and lore, symbolizing our appreciation for the journey and the foundations our project is built on.
However, MutantKongz will now serve as a tribute collection to CyberKongz, no longer actively used in our project.
Owned by the account John Kongor (mutantkongz.eth), we’ve symbolically set the royalties to zero. MutantKongz will always remain tied to our lore and imagery.
MutantKongz owners will still have access to our Discord’s token-gated channels. All other benefits previously associated with MutantKongz, and all future benefits, will automatically transfer to Gorilla Genesis. Any future token-gated assets, experiences, or utilities will be linked to Gorilla Genesis.
Claiming Your Gorilla Genesis
In the “Evolve” section of our Dashboard, MutantKongz owners can easily evolve them into Gorilla Genesis. This process is a free claim, requiring only the payment of transaction fees.
Similar to the wave-particle duality, Gorilla Genesis represents both an NFT collectible and a 3D Voxel interoperable avatar on The Sandbox, expanding expressive and interactive possibilities.
Our Vision Beyond the Gorilla Genesis Transformation
The transition from MutantKongz to Gorilla Genesis is not just a change; it’s a rebirth that reflects our dedication to merging art, technology, and community in innovative ways.
Paying homage to CyberKongz and keeping the spirit of MutantKongz alive, we move forward confident that our future will be rich with creativity and innovation.
We invite our community to join us on this journey toward new frontiers of digital expression.
