Our holders have spoken. We are going to reduce our supply and stop minting to continue creating the best experience for an exclusive community. More information in the next hours.

very sorry. No community. No shirt. No value. Glad our community didn’t fall for it. Big brands should take note. This is a valuable lesson for them. Price extraction will not reduce it.
