About the monkeez
Degenmonkeez originated as an early Terra project.
In those days we used to be a blue chip project.
Now we are a derug project led by two community members.
Through the new team's genesis mint, we want to reach out to -and help grow our community.
Old frens from Terra, Sol and Polygon, new frens from Injective.
In short: people like you that are genuinely interested in our project!
Monkeez were always just a 500 piece boutique collection on Terra, later Solana. However this time around we feel the space can do with more monkeez.
Thats why we extended the collection with 2000 newly generated monkeez never seen before.
This even includes a bunch of new legendary monkee classes.
Keeping true to our heritage the newly generated monkeez are indistinctable from the legacy monkeez. We cleaned the art and metadata referring to our past life and even added some new traits.
We offer great timeless art, as well as a resilient a.f. community and team
Cheers,
Gilles

Welcome, meet our derug founders!
Team specialists and external consultants
A proper team can't function without a solid discord and reliable mods to help keep it safe and running, as well as advisors and specialists to help us find our way in the Injective nft scene

History
Degenmonkeez DAO Originated as a Terra project named Wagmimonkeez in november 2021.
ATH fp 100 Luna (9000 USD).
ATH sale at 55000 USD equivalent (550 Luna)
Original community founded a DAO
A blue chip project on Terra until it all came crashing down!
Migration to Solana and Derug operation
Following the migration to Solana, the original founders rugged!
But we never gave up!
A community team has taken over since.
with this derug we wanted to distance ourselves from Wagmimonkeez and rebrand the project into DEGENMONKEEZ.
Future
We´re excited for what the future holds.
We will start off by minting newly generated monkeez and reminting parts of what’s left in the team wallet as we’ve queried all the assets.
We will also migrate the OG assets for existing holders.
Our destination is the Cosmos!
Once we find our footing on Stargaze post monkeez migration, we want to introduce redacted which will be needed for the next step in our journey...
redacted...
One thing is certain, we have lots of assets and ideas to revive this project! We want to do that with you, our community!
We are passionate and resilient to revive this OG project, because we love the art and the memories we Degenmonkeez deserve to have a place in the cosmos we feel.
Much love,
Gilles
Where heritage meets future.
We're multichain by nature. but why Injective and stargaze?
CosmWasm
Injective has enabled smartcontracts through CosmWasm, which has a unique implementation that allows you to automatically execute smart contracts in each block. In general, this has a good effect on the development of the project and distinguishes it from other blockchains.
This makes the project attractive for the development of financial primitives and protocols that can use the Injective blockchain as a platform. So, we can conclude that Injective has the potential for further development and takes its place among other blockchains.
Very Fast
The creation time of Injective block is 1.1s making it one of the fastest blockchains in the world. This fast transaction processing, oddly enough, means that users can complete transactions quickly and efficiently.
This greatly facilitates the execution of operations by users and contributes to the fast and efficient functioning of the network.
Very low Fee
Injective is more than 1000X faster and cheaper than Ethereum due to its unique design and architecture. This makes Injective an attractive option for those who are looking for fast and inexpensive transactions.
Highly Secure — Deploy on a Tendermint-based PoS network secured by a globally distributed group of renowned validators and trusted by leading institutions worldwide.
But that’s macro mumbo jumbo…
Why did we, as degenmonkeez DAO, choose for these L1`s?
The short answer is: community and defi!
As some of u may know, we came from Terra originally and feel like reconnecting to the rest of the diaspora of this community. A lot of them are now rediscovering cosmos and injective and Stargaze seem to be the place to be, so we should move too we figured!
LFG!

Our plans Ep 1 & 1A : (Baby) Degenmonkeez
1
OGs and Injective communities WL process
We have reached out to OG`s and frens on Polygon, Terra and Stars as well as new frens on Injective who feel like joining us on our derug journey!

(Baby) Degenmonkeez
Community mint of 500 babies degenmonkeez on injective to get started, start trading on talis. utility towards our next mint.
mint of 2000 newly generated monkeez .
start trading on stargaze.zone.
Taking steps to get the ball rolling again and grow our community.
join lots of Twitter spaces and AMA`s & connect with all the communities on Injective
Community building stage

Legacy degenmonkeez migration from Solana
2 month time window to migrate assets from Solana to Stargaze and join the newly generated part of the collection. merging the past with new beginnings and new community members from the Injective, Stargaze and wider cosmos space.

Ep 2:
Growing our community &
keeping true to the OG art
To revive this project we figured ideally we grow our community, since 500 monkeez were always too small of a collection to make waves or form a strong community in the space relative to the larger collections.
Well how can we do that, since there`s only 500 monkeez existing and most of the og monkeys are already owned. Well we at degenmonkeez think this art is to banger to only have 500 of them roaming around the blockchain.
Thats why we queried the OG art, extracted all the traits, and are now generating more monkeys.
But they have to be just right, art wise. Decent QC is key!
After carefull consideration, we made the choice that 2000 more monkeez will be added to our supply.
Ep 3: Other Plans
our future plans and current progress
merch
Were planning to introduce merch to our community; we have the perfect person in mind for this!
For holders only!
More info post-mint/migration!
IRL meetups
We want to introduce IRL meetups for our community to connect and see the people behind the Jpegs. given there’s enough interest to hold these!
