Chimpers Gives Its NFTs Their Own Wallets, Beezie’s $250K Luxury Drop Sells Out

Chimpers is using ERC-6551 wallets to give each chimpanzee NFT an on-chain inventory, called an adventure pouch. The pouch can hold NFTs, tokens and other items, and its contents travel with the chimp when ownership changes. Community members can add art and equipment, while OpenSea’s briefcase view can display the inventory. The team said making those items visible in the NFT interface should make collections easier to discover and support a more tangible game experience.

Chimpers launched 222 chimpanzee eggs at the end of the previous month, with hatching starting the day before the discussion. It also introduced Chimpanions as sidekicks equipped to a chimp’s pouch, not as a separate collection; they provide bonuses in the Collector Hub, which brings together ecosystem activity, collector scores and rewards. Of the 222 eggs, 100 were distributed free to holders through a weighted Collector Hub raffle, about 70 sold for roughly 0.4 ETH each, and 25 each went to the treasury and the Protocol Chimp strategy wallet.

The first companion drop comprised 222 companions, with five designs inspired by Genesis Chimpers. Artists Cataston and Lulu, South Korean community members who have contributed art and social-media work since the project’s early days, selected the source characters. For those five designs, half of proceeds is shared equally among holders of the source NFTs, 25% goes to the treasury and 25% is burned. Chimpers said future community involvement in selecting characters is possible. The current drop can be bought on secondary markets as a sealed egg or a revealed companion; the unrevealed egg was described as having a 0.42 ETH floor.

Chimpers plans to build a game around the characters after the current drop, and players will need a hatched companion rather than an egg to enter. The team also plans to track each chimp’s milestones and achievements so they can remain with the character as it changes hands. Joey described future gameplay that could include scavenging, fortune cookies and collectible digital cards, as well as more Chimpanions seasons and possible holder votes on which Genesis chimps appear. The first companion release is a test: the project has discussed 19 more drops over the next couple of years, but said future quantities and distribution will depend on the results.

Beezie’s partnership with The Luxury Closet brought authenticated luxury goods into a Solana blind-box drop of 500 items. Participation required a Beezie Solana account funded with at least $500. Buyers had 24 hours to reveal their items after the drop sold out, after which unrevealed items would reveal automatically. The format did not display a live-calculated expected value, but offered an 85% swap on every item; eligible items could be redeemed for delivery. The selection included brands such as Birkin, Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Bottega Veneta, with goods ranging from wallets and passport holders to handbags.

The drop generated about 120 sales and roughly $60,000 in its first minute. At the 18-minute update, 312 had sold and 188 remained; Beezie later reported that the drop sold out for $250,000. Speakers gave different sellout timings, citing both 36 and 46 minutes. They framed the partnership as an example of connecting digital collectibles with physical products, while arguing brands should introduce those connections progressively rather than assume mass adoption will happen all at once. Beezie also generated $156,000 through its claw machine in 15 minutes, according to Captain. Chimpers, meanwhile, said it has signed a long-term licensing deal with a major partner to take the brand to market in Asia and the West, with an announcement and product development planned.
