CyberKongz

Introduction

CyberKongz is a community-based NFT project that was first minted on March 3rd, 2021. What started as a random collection of Pixelized Gorilla PFPs (Profile Pictures), has now grown to an entire ecosystem of 2D PFPs, 3D Avatars, a Utility Token ($BANANA), metaverse wearables, redeemable vouchers, and much more!

On the surface, they are an OG PFP project, one of the first popularized profile pictures of the 2D social world. Behind the scenes, there is a beautifully complex and growing ecosystem that continues to explore and innovate in Web3.

Founded by the artist Myoo in March 2021, CyberKongz started as a unique and randomly generated collection of 1000, 34x34 pixelated NFT gorillas now known as the Genesis Collection. CyberKongz were the first to introduce and popularize a number of innovative NFT mechanics, such as unique tokenomics for their utility token $BANANA, which led to breeding and Babies. The VX collection, 3D avatars designed for the metaverse and gaming are the most interoperable avatar of any Web3 project.

Supported by a passionate core community at its backbone, CyberKongz continues to push the boundaries in NFTs. The ecosystem, which now includes Play & Kollect, is one of the most expansive ecosystems in Web3. CyberKongz is focused on utility, innovation, and interoperability while also expanding our IP into traditional Web2.

The Kollections

Genesis

The Genesis CyberKongz were the first 1000 CyberKongz to drop, 10 of which are Legendary and #810 aka MyooKong. Not only do these make the cleanest OG avatar for the 2D Social world, but they are also the only CyberKongz to yield $BANANA daily. Each Genesis Kong produces 10 $BANANA every day until March 18th 2031. These act as the OG Profile pictures of the 2D Social world. Perfectly sized for everything from Discord to Twitter.

Every CyberKong is unique and owns randomized items with different rarities. A few are super rare and even animated!

Baby

In order to expand the CyberKongz Universe, the mad scientist Myoo created a cybernetic breeding process allowing 'cute as a button' Baby Kongz to be produced by breeding two Genesis Kongz. Unfortunately, the process required a ton of energy, so 600 $BANANA were required to fuel the breeding frenzy.

VX

Not content with taking over the 2D NFT space, the continued evolution thrusts CyberKongz into the metaverse in the form of 3D voxel-based avatars. Built to be used in online metaverse environments such as The Sandbox. The CyberKongz team's insatiable need to continue to take over the metaverse drove their recent land purchases as well as ambitious plans to create phenomenal environments for CyberKongz holders to socialize and interact.

Play & Kollect

Play & Kollect is an experience that allows holders to kollect NFTs, Loot, and exclusive merch! This feature presents you with Jungle Adventure. It is a fully on-chain game on the Polygon network with almost no gas fees, 99.95% less in electricity consumption than a Proof-of-Work counterpart and almost no CO2 emissions.

"Play & Kollect" starts the bridge between all existing and future assets of the CyberKongz universe and will introduce a completely new eco and distribution system as a foundation for our future.

Minimal Gas Fees- Adventure Run is built on the Polygon network to reduce CO2 emissions and gas fees. This allows for a smooth and efficient experience.

Transparent System- A fair distribution of assets to all active participants within the CyberKongz ecosystem while involving existing holders of all CyberKongz collections.

Foundation for Future- Any dapp, which utilizes the leveling system of Kongz, Kongium, $BANANA or experiences, can be built on top of Play & Kollect.

Adventure Runs

The main objective of adventures is to send CyberKongz VX in crews of one to five on jungle adventure runs to gather Kongium and redeem it for prizes like the seasonal $BANANA prize pool, exclusive NFTs, and much more as we explore the jungle.

Play & Kollect runs in seasons. One season lasts 10 days and always awaits adventurers with new prizes.

Adventure runs can be started in two different ways:

• Free adventure runs powered by Fuel Rods

• $BANANA Adventure runs

Each CyberKong VX that is locked into a crew will receive one Fuel Rod per day, in order to start one adventure run. Fuel Rods are considered a free energy resource.

Thanks to their innovative Lock Registry, CyberKongz VX do not have to be traditionally staked and sent out of your wallet to be assigned to a crew for the Jungle Adventure and accrue energy.

The loot kollected in an adventure run can be improved by the use of Charmz:

• Increase Kongium

• Increase EXP

• Trigger exclusive special events

Fuel Rods- An energy storing device manufactured by Plutonium Industries.

Each CyberKong VX that is locked into a crew will receive one Fuel Rod every 24 hours and at the start of each season. Fuel Rods are considered a free energy resource to start adventure runs.

Fuel Rods can be accumulated and saved during each Jungle Adventure season, but will be wiped if unused at the end of each season (use them or lose them).

Any unlocked CyberKong VX will not accumulate any Fuel Rods and not start accumulating until locked. Unused fuel rods get wiped after each season (ten days and eight hours)!

Kongium- The Strongest known metal in the metaverse!

Kongium is a (non-transferable) resource that can be looted in jungle adventure runs. Unlike Fuel Rods, Kongium is not wiped at the end of a season and can be used anytime, and is instead considered the main resource of adventure runs and its internal ecosystem.

The amount of Kongium gathered by each CyberKong VX during an adventure can depend on different factors:

• The level of the CyberKong VX

• Whether a Charm was activated and what tier it is

• Whether a special event has occurred

Kongium can be utilized to claim a part of the seasonal $BANANA prize pool, to level up CyberKongz VX or to exchange it directly for exclusive NFTs. Kongium can be stored for any length of time and has various use cases, now, and in the future.

Charmz- Baby CyberKongs are the key to the future, and luck out there!

Charmz are ERC-1155 NFTs (transferrable) that can be consumed by a crew (1-5) of CyberKongz VX to increase their possible loot until the Charm breaks (can span over seasons).

Baby CyberKongz will now yield non-transferable shards, once 100 shards are collected a random Charm can be claimed. One Baby CyberKong yields enough shards for one random Charm to be claimed every 10 days.

Charmz have health points that are reduced with each adventure run. Once the health points drop to 0, the Charm will break. One Charm can be used for 30 to 50 runs, with Fuel Rod runs costing more health points than $BANANA runs. A Charm lasts for 30 Fuel Rod runs or 50 $BANANA runs and anything in between, regarding on how the runs were done.

In addition to boosting loot on adventure runs, Charmz will have other key roles in future CyberKongz development. We are just starting to explore the new tech!

Charmz reward those Baby CyberKongz holders who wish to be a part of the CyberKongz universe for the long term, and give Babies the recognition they deserve.

Charmz will have a variety of use cases, now and in the future:

• They increase the loot of Kongium and EXP in jungle adventures

• They can trigger exclusive events during jungle adventures

• They are transferable NFTs and can therefore be traded with other Kong friends and marketplaces

• They give you the opportunity to get exclusive and limited NFTs

• They will play a key role in the future development of the CyberKongz VX equipment system...

Experience and Levels

After every adventure run, each CyberKong VX in the crew is awarded one experience point (EXP).

Adventure runs powered by Fuel Rods allow you to earn a maximum of one EXP per CyberKong VX per 24 hours, whereas additional adventure runs in $BANANA have no daily EXP limit.

EXP & Kongium Ore are both needed to level up CyberKongz VX and therefore increase the possible Kongium loot and special events you may encounter.

Each CyberKong VX starts at level one and can be upgraded up to level 20 at the Temple of Rising.

To level up, each CyberKong VX needs a fixed amount of EXP. Once the required amount of EXP is reached, the EXP, as well as a fixed amount of Kongium, can be burned to perform the level up.

Leveling up is rewarding, because with increasing levels the possible amount of Kongium gathered per adventure run is increased. There may also be further hidden advantages like events and prizes.

The following table shows the possible Kongium loot ranges per run at each level as well as the required EXP and Kongium for a level up.
